I see the structure of the Marketing of Joomla and wonder if there is any Influencer team that have some strategy and working procedure to proactively marketing Joomla 4 ? Is there any marketing plan for Joomla to be seen anywhere? Or is it secret?

Perhaps because wp is more popular and some Joomla users would like to see Joomla more popular
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
Agree with you Webdongle that this is a huge decision to make for any person/work task alone for Joomla community and future. This should not be a decision where someone does it for their own benefit.Webdongle wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 9:03 pm What does that mean? Does that mean that Google will have tracking code in Joomla like it tried before? I have a vague memory of someone trying to slip google tracking code in Joomla before. She kicked everyone (who complained about it) off the Joomla bug squad.
Oh no!
The Drupal Association is happy to announce a new sponsorship from Google. Google has taken critical steps to foster a thriving web ecosystem by partnering with open-source content management systems and ecommerce platforms, and learning from and supporting their communities.
Yes I would like our marketing team share for all of us, without secret, share different media kit https://www.drupal.org/about/media-kit/ is that so difficult to do and plan so we all together can help marketing Joomla? Don't understand why this is secret...Webdongle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 2:10 pm How about

Although it may be difficult to find who, specifically, partook in the decision-making (and that's probably a question that could be addressed to the President of OSM), the "why" of the matter is summed up in the announcement.
This is how rumours start. The J! forum—or any technical user-driven forum, for that matter—is not a bible. Unfounded rumours or suspicions about what goes on behind-the-scenes, when they appear in black-and-white on a techical forum, have the effect of causing anxiety, doubt and fear. It's the old story of "I read it on the forum ..."
Who says? You must have read it on the forum, right? If you have concerns then contact the Marketing Team (use the contact form referred to earlier). Ask for a definitive statement from the team. Are people seriously thinking that the J! developers are going to sneak some "tracking code" into the next release of J!? C'mon, let's not panic, lose our heads, and worry for nothing. If you want to know what, when and how anything happens with J! development, get involved with GitHub.
Incorrect. Nobody is advocating commercial partnerships then complaining when one is made.sozzled wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:19 pm... On the one hand, one of this forum's most vocal advocates for better marketing has been calling for "Joomla!" to be more entrepreneurial via social media and business partnerships. That same person now complains when a new partnership is formed between J! and one of the powerhouse businesses on the planet! ...
Yes bcs you don’t "know" doesn’t mean that others don't. It’s important to discuss Joomla future and we have always done that here where the majority of Joomla people lives and our voice is important. We are the users of Joomla and people that don't know what we discussing better stay out of this discussion.I don't know why we have these kinds of discussions on the forum.
yes this could be difficult to understand but that’s what I talk about is to use all of us Joomla community members jointly to have a chance to marketing Joomla voluntarily by some guidelines and material actions planned. Sorry you didn’t get that one too.The Marketing & Communications Department does not use this forum to engage with or debate its policy with the community.
wrong again, that’s the only way we can judge measure and see how Joomla perform over time and how well things develop.How—good or badly—J! markets itself compared to how other open source projects market themselves is a pointless discussion about how the Marketing Team undertakes its activities.
Well that’s exactly what you don’t do...I have my own opinions on the matter but I prefer to keep my opinions to myself.
