#+TITLE: v0.1.0 Launch & Marketing Plan #+AUTHOR: Amr #+FILETAGS: :marketing:release:autonomy: #+STARTUP: content * Overview With the v0.1.0 "Autonomous MVP" released, the goal is to leverage GitHub's social graph to build a community of early adopters, contributors, and power users who resonate with the "Thin Harness, Fat Skills" and "Local-First" philosophy. * 1. Licensing Strategy Before wide promotion, the project's license must align with its goals. - **MIT License (Current):** Maximum adoption, frictionless for developers to embed in their own tools. Good for rapid growth. - **GPLv3 / AGPLv3:** Enforces copyleft. Ensures any modifications or integrations by corporations must remain open-source. Protects the "Autonomous" ethos from proprietary enclosure. - **Dual Licensing:** Open-source for individuals, commercial license for enterprise usage (if monetization is a future goal). *Decision Needed:* Do we stick with MIT, or switch to a copyleft license (AGPL) to protect the autonomous nature of the project? * 2. The GitHub Migration & Setup To maximize visibility, the repository must be optimized for GitHub's ecosystem. - [ ] **Mirror/Migrate to GitHub:** Move the primary remote from the self-hosted Gitea to GitHub. - [ ] **README Optimization:** Add badges (License, Build Status, Version). Ensure the "Zero-to-One" curl command is prominent. Add an architecture diagram (mermaid). - [ ] **Repository Topics:** Add tags like `common-lisp`, `autonomous-agents`, `org-mode`, `pkm`, `zettelkasten`, `llm`, `local-first`. - [ ] **Contributing Guide:** Add `CONTRIBUTING.md` to explain the Literate Programming standard and how to add new "Skills". - [ ] **Issue Templates:** Create templates for "Bug Report" and "Skill Proposal". * 3. The PR & Social Media Campaign The narrative: "An autonomous AI agent that doesn't just chat, but lives natively in your Org-mode Memex. No Python glue code, no cloud lock-in—just pure, homoiconic Common Lisp." ** Target Audiences & Channels 1. **The Emacs / Org-mode Community:** - *Channels:* `r/emacs`, `r/orgmode`, Hacker News (`/r/lisp`), Emacs News. - *Hook:* "A background daemon that autonomously distills your daily logs into a Zettelkasten using LLMs." 2. **The Local-First / PKM Community:** - *Channels:* `r/Zettelkasten`, `r/PKM`, Obsidian/Logseq diaspora looking for more power. - *Hook:* "Own your brain. An AI agent that runs locally on your Markdown/Org files with mathematical security gates." 3. **The AI / Autonomous Agent Hackers:** - *Channels:* Hacker News (Show HN), Twitter/X (AI tech Twitter). - *Hook:* "Tired of fragile Python/Playwright agent wrappers? opencortex uses a deterministic Lisp microkernel to formally verify LLM actions before execution." ** Launch Materials - **Demo Video (2 minutes):** Show the one-liner install, the agent running the `Scribe` skill in the background, and the user querying it via `opencortex chat`. - **Blog Post / Essay:** "Why we built an Autonomous Agent in Common Lisp." Discuss the fragility of current SOTA (Devin/SWE-agent) and the necessity of the Bouncer/Policy gates. * 4. Post-Launch Community Engagement - Encourage "Show and Tell" in GitHub Discussions. - Create a "Skill Directory" where users can share their custom `.org` skills. - Actively solicit feedback for the v0.2.0 (Lisp TUI) roadmap.
