### Software developers
The software community will be engaged mailnly with the use of public code repositories which allow for monitoring, contributing, discussing and proposing changes during all phases of development. Those benefits are inherent to open source practices, like sharing, reusing and collaborating which are key components of this methodology. Other public channels common to software developers interactions can be used like online chat groups such as irc cahnnels and broadcasting such as rss. Those channels cover different needs for communication and dissemination which are real time discussions and announcemnets respectively. Finally public engagement in local community meetings and non commearcial tech conferences are real life channels that can introduce Ledger to a broader tech audience.

### Policy makers
Policymakers are the communities that have a remarkable negotiable power in terms of project outreach outside the MVPs lab environment. Thus, at the policymaking level, LEDGER MarCom strategy will target both individuals and groups who have a stake into the outcomes of the project. LEDGER will therefore encourage marketing, communication and dissemination activities to influence opinion and decision making processes within the policy domain by directly informing and attending to events promoted first and foremost by the Commission and relevant Directorates General, esp. those relevant to the implementation of solutions to problems affecting LEDGERs verticals.
### Business communities `aspra: I suggerst name change and shortening of this paragraph.`
LEDGER success will be measured in terms of uptake of its MVPs by the market populated by citizens and consumers enabled to access business models that serve their needs while avoiding to ask anything in exchange without their previous knowledge and consent. As a result and thanks to FBA and BLMs leading roles, consumers and business communities will be involved as a central dissemination and communication channel to promote and grow LEDGERs values and value proposition. Both are structurlly interwoven, in that values cannot be framed independently of the value proposition underpinning them. This will in fact be the primary marketing and communication strategy for the project, because it is, to our knowledge, the aspect that mostly characterises LEDGER when compared to other in ether public or private endeavours in the decentralised data governance areas.
### Business Perspectives
LEDGER success will be measured in terms of uptake of its MVPs by the market populated by citizens and consumers enabled to access business models that serve their needs while avoiding to ask anything in exchange without their previous knowledge and consent. As a result and thanks to FBA and BLMs leading roles, consumers and business communities will be involved as a central dissemination and communication channel to promote and grow LEDGERs values and value proposition. Both are **structurally interwoven**, in that values cannot be framed independently of the value proposition underpinning them. This will in fact be the primary marketing and communication strategy for the project, because it is, to our knowledge, the aspect that mostly characterises LEDGER when compared to other in ether public or private endeavours in the decentralised data governance areas.
Indeed, business communities are getting more and more aware about the topics and importance of the agenda that LEDGER is embodying. In turn, they are central for the uptake and upscaling of MVPs from LEDGER in that they can enjoy the adequate position and community outreach for large scale adoption of LEDGERs venture builder solutions.

## 1. Editorial guidelines
These editorial guidelines are meant to provide all partners and involved participants with the essential information that needs to be distributed in all stages of the LEDGER project as well as after the closing of the project. In the following paragraphs, the content creation, internal validation, as well as the distribution and evaluation of the impact is analysed and exposed and the necessary workflow is drafted.
All content should attract participants to both Open Calls of the project. It should clearly express the characteristics, ethos and values of the Ledger project and it should be available for change so that it can reflect the evolution of the project in all itearations during its 3 years duration. The MarCom of the project shall equally promote and document the development of the project through the sum of the participants work, the evolution of the technologies and the progress being made in each vertical. Content distribution tactics and special needs are as well hinted. `aspra: dont understand last sentence, suggest deletion`

The MarCom of the project shall equally promote and document the development of the project through the sum of the participants work, the evolution of the technologies and the progress being made in each vertical.
These editorial guidelines will also be visible to the participants. However, it is expected that close monitoring of the communication spaces and some re-iterations of editing will be necessary by the Dyne.org communication team and they will need to be validated through pair review between partners.

Moreover, this document is in place to ensure the best possible compliance with timelines and guidlines; in particular:
- The LEDGER project consortium partners will be informed specifically about the timelines in the project when they are expected to provide with promotional material and other communications content.
- The Consortium partners in charge of organizing events and bootcamps as previously agreed on, will be instructed to provide access to other partners and collaborators in order to faciliate the creation of video documentation and other produced content both for external and internal communication and documentation.

## 2. Structure of the materials and creation workflow
Production of communication materials and the act of communicate follows this first diagram.
Internally there are two main repository for shared materials: files, images, tempates, modules, temporary sharing, project folders etc. go on cloud.dyne.org, code and documentation and collectively written complex documents go on gitea.dyne.org.

Folder structure for the communication cross partners and with participants is to be kept in git or in nextcloud to availability of the consortium and the participants when necessary. Structure is the one summarised in the following tree.

The general componence and cross appartenence of people to a group is indicated in the following diagram. Sets are in different color and they overlap when is necessary, while the diameter of the circle gives an idea of the number of people involved in the group. We will use similar representation further on.

LEDGER project has to be integrated into NGI brand guidelines `ref??` and has to be divagated in the contexts created by NGI. At the same time the communication aim of LEDGER wants to outreach to communities of FLOSS developers and more marginal communities that might be alienated by the language, both visual and in other ways narrative of a traditional campaign. This document aims to be a guide that includes this perspective.

A Brand book is a very good tool for general communication. It can evolve from the coordinate communication already studied for Ledger Project.
A Brand book is a very good tool for general communication (1). It can evolve from the coordinate communication already studied for Ledger Project.
It includes though some simplified answers to generic questions that allow to present the project properly to any of the people involved.
It includes as well a general visual guideline.
The book is a living doc that includes synonyms and explanations for key concepts.
