Juju Advocacy

What else should we be doing?

On the internet.
 - cloud.u.c. facelift... similarly juju.ubuntu.com
 - follow-up on charm contribs
 - help solve individual problems with charms

In Real life:
 - More charm schools!
   professionalize them, 2-hr format, examples, intros,  t-shirts
   - train the trainer
   - find qualified trainers
   - kickoff for this process
   - Charm School every UDS and platform sprints (early in the week)
   - Juju team office hours at UDS and platform sprints

 - Shows
 - Professional Conferences
    - scale
    - velocity (june usually, very important)
    - cloudcamps (
    - meetups (node.js meetup)

- Juju labs (collection of tools,scripts,hacks around juju that people can mess with, bring the good ones into core)
  - best practices
    - aliases
    - tools

We prefer office hours to irc talks

best practices for charm schools:
 - projectors (2)
 - tables (hack style)
 - presenter (story to tell, scratched an itch, convert) (Marco)
 - juju expert present (dev and charmer ideally)
 - power
 - bring your own laptop
 - network
 - landing page for prep work
 - marketing
 - post-event report
 - metrics
 - everything in hash-juju for now
 - media (both video and audio)
 - leverage existing loco teams
 - charm school early in the events... then lightning talks at the end can demo charms written

General charm school notes
 - leadup messaging... basics/demo first? (do what Marco did)
 - Charm leaders need content/references so they can come to events prepared
 - Can/should be its own event (like a mongo-meetup)
 - promote via twitter/etc...
 - Contact upstreams
 - Piggyback on existing events
 - Best practice for charm school is to invite experienced charmers to demo new stuff... align charmschools with milestones
