20th anniversary press?
Forwarding, with permission:
-------- Forwarded Message --------
Subject: 20th anniversary press?
Date: Thu, 02 Jan 2020 12:15:16 +0000
From: Daniel Shahaf <d....@daniel.shahaf.name>
To: private@subversion.apache.org
We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of the first commit to
Subversion's CVS repository:
[[[
% svn log ^/subversion -r 0:HEAD -l 3 | vipe
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r836421 | kfogel | 2000-02-29 20:32:07 -0600 (Tue, 29 Feb 2000) | 2 lines
Changed paths:
A /subversion/trunk/src
A /subversion/trunk/src/LICENSE
initial checkin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
% ]]]
Sounds like an excuse to do a press release? Or something to mention in
the announcement of 1.14.0-LTS, at least?

We need testimonials, preferably from highly visible corporate users;

If you can help us secure some testimonials, that will be very helpful and

Hello,
We at VisualSVN want to contribute to the press release, and I will
try to collect testimonials from our users. I will follow up on the
results in a week or so.

This press release is, after all, the Subversion community making an
announcement to the world!
I agree with involving the community. I measure that against (1) what
is the purpose and (2) who is the audience?
(1) The purpose (of this PR) is to increase exposure for Subversion.
The more exposure we get, the more new users and contributors. It is
something we should do more often and my motivation in this and other
efforts.
(2) From that perspective, the audience isn't those of us who are
already community members; we need to reach beyond our community,
stepping outside of our comfort zone.
We need about 5 to 7 testimonials, preferably from the corporate
world. Testimonials help answer the all-important questions "who
cares" and "who uses you?"
We have corporate and government customers. We are a component of
various commercial products. But given that this is FOSS, there are no
licenses to buy, no registrations to fill out, and I don't exactly
have a customer list.
So, I would appreciate it very much if I were not alone in seeking
testimonials. Please, take 5 minutes and shoot a few emails to people
you know, and help get these testimonials in. We have one so far. We
need several more.
We'll ask that testimonials be sent to private@ in the future.
Thanks,
Nathan

I say yes.
It was said recently (as well as long ago), on the Svn PMC's [1] private
mailing list, that a press release (PR) should be organized in private
so it makes a "splash" (a surprise) to maximize impact in the press. I
understand the intent behind that, from the marketing point of view, but
in this open community I place higher value on publicly involving
community members who are not members of the PMC. If that results in
lower "splash" value, that's fine: community over PR.
Still, while publicly soliciting testimonials (and any other ideas), we
can minimize the dilution effect by collecting them and drafting the
text in private: the press shouldn't be finding the whole thing is
previously published. Let's be open that that's what we're doing, and
endeavour to include any non-PMC-members who wish to be included. (If
someone wants to be included in that part, e.g. seeing the draft, please
say and we'll work to find a satisfactory way to include you.)
To that end, let's ask that contacts send their actual quotes to
private@ in the first place. Nathan is co-ordinating the drafting and
any privately solicited quotes there anyway, aren't you?

Thanks for mentioning that.
Would someone who has a LinkedIn account be kind enough to post a very
polite request for testimonials there? (for our 20th anniversary press
release)
Also, would it be appropriate and acceptable to post this request to our
own users@ list?
I feel we should make the most of every marketing opportunity.
Thanks,
Nathan

There's a LinkedIn discussion group for SVN (and CVS) [3]. Perhaps posting
there might get some testimonials?

Hi, Nathan,
Here’s our testimonial:
<<
CODESYS is the market-leading IDE for the realization of industrial IEC 61131-3 applications. More than 100,000 users worldwide use the tool to implement application software, e.g. for the automation of factories and plants, mobile machines, buildings, and power systems. They use CODESYS not only for programming logic functions, but also for generating graphical user interfaces, coordinated movements and communication with field devices or cloud services.
For our product development, reliable and powerful version management is essential. We have found this asset in Subversion. Today, more than 100 of our employees regularly work with the tool. Several million lines of source code are stored in our Subversion repository.
The concept of Subversion has convinced us to such an extent that with CODESYS SVN, we were the first company to develop a connected product for the area of industrial automation. With CODESYS SVN, software applications can be edited and managed easily in teams. Since the product launch in the CODESYS Store, we have experienced a strong demand.
We congratulate the Subversion community on its 20th anniversary!

Would you like to liaise with Sally / press@ about this?
Sure. I'll be happy to.
According to Sally, for the press release to be meaningful, we should secure some testimonials from highly-visible users, preferably corporate. Apparently the first question the media asks is "who uses you."
It's up to us to secure those testimonials. This is pretty important. The biggest thing we can do to gain more help around here is to attract more interest and awareness.
We have corporate (and even government) customers who have posted questions to users@. I propose to ask there. I'm asking here first: Please ask (very nicely) any contacts you may have.
Thanks,
Nathan

It's super cool that Subversion's birthday is Leap Day 2000. [1]
I think it's a great idea to celebrate with a press release.
Let me know how I can help.
[1] That day is cool for a variety of reasons. It's the year 2000. It
has a leap day, contrary to most years divisible by 100 (because it's
also divisible by 400 [2]). And it's the birthday of the best version
control system ever!
