Since the beginning of Plone Conference 2007 we heard a lot about how to promote Plone with a good marketing approach.
The tale tells that Plone name come from a music band… it would be cool if Plone community has its song like Free Software Fundation have he « Free Software Song ».
I’m sure we can do better.
O:^)
The goal is to choose a song known worldwide to put a text about Plone comunity on it.
During the dinner I asked to several guys and girls to give me a song name in one shot. The first result was that I was to drunk to be understandable. After this first constatation they give me some band names: Artic Monkeys, Duran-Duran, Police, Queen (Bohemian Rapsody), and… ask to Nate Aune, he would be have an idea.
And yes, he had one: « Can you blog about this ? ».
Then now, what’s the Pop-rock song you think it matches with Plone community ?
If you have time to do this you can wrote a song for us.
Next step would be to make a Plone community best of and to bundle it.
I’m sure you don’t know that, but Plone community just rocks.
I may have found a good song for us:
http://www.myspace.com/victoriatibblin and choose ‘Make me pretty’.

Why try this. Plone doesn’t have ears. Human beings have very different musical tastes. Logos are bad enough.

That’s ok, we can have more than one song.
And finally, it’s just an idea.
I was tired, drunk and thought about FSF song and Ipod Flea video:

If in some monthes, or some years, someone can do a video like that on Plone it would be a good markting approach. It’s just a point of view.
