[Proposal] Setup a new SIG for Advocacy and Outreach

[LinuxSuRen]

Background

Community growth is very important for any community. Advocacy and outreach can dramatically help with that. And the key point is that it should not be done by one person or privately.

As far as I can see, there's a couple of forks are interested in this area.

Why

As an open-source community, we should discuss everything as possible as we can. Discuss advocacy and outreach in an open way is reasonable. Setup this kind of SIG can gather much more great ideas and innovation.

Benefit

• Less private conversations
• A new channel for those who might want to join us
• As a possible bridge between the software engineers, community managers, and marketing
• Less unnecessary disturb to those who are not interested in this

Who

Basically, anyone who is interested in the discussion around advocacy and outreach. No matter you're a software engineer, technical writer, or marketing, community growth needs you.

Potential members

I guess these people might be the potential initial members:

• @shaowenchen
• @FeynmanZhou
• @JiannaLiu
• @LinuxSuRen

Concern

• There are not enough people to join this SIG.
  • 3 people should be enough to startup it

Support! There should be a public SIG for Advocacy and Outreach in the KubeSphere community.

summer-ospp is a local event that is similar to Google Summer of Code. This could be a potential topic.
