Meeting Anu and Rufus

Rufus brainstorm

A history of what has happened?

Last major strategy document was March / April 2023
Did PortalJS.org in May-Jul 2023 and then sort of stopped
Aug-Sep: took over datahub.io to promote our DMS and open data portal offering
- 🔮 that wasn't very effective in generating leads …
Sep-Oct: launched Flowershow cloud system in alpha
Jan: reboot with Daniela and Ola etc.
Jan-Mar: launch of DataHub Cloud v1-alpha
Apr: Rufus steps out explicitly and hands over to Daniela
- we never really completed planning together at this point
- started trying to do hypotheses explicitly

Where are we going with the product?

Common core of a 'markdown-based publishing'. I would actually call this Flowershow as in 'Put your X (data/content) on show.

3-4 options

One option: try and launch one option every 1m with 2m marketing follow-up and see what happens

Data publishing. "CMS for data"
- Full data catalog …
- Simple data publishing: paste and go. More substack-y. ghost-y
Github for data. (Hugging face are going for this quite a bit)
Data publishing framework.
PKM publishing
Data marketplace
- Data newsletter. The place to find interesting data.
Data community

Emphasize the github side of things in general?

Goal: good landing page with a way to book a demo

What is NOT needed …

Are we discarding 8 months of work No, not all!

Nagging questions

Can we converge Flowershow and PortalJS. Having 2 different names / frameworks for roughly the same thing seems annoying. We could have that PortalJS builds on Flowershow but still seems awkward. Could have "Flowershow data" which is subpart especially for data …
