<p class="MsoNormal">Hello StarlingX Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like propose an initiative to more effectively appeal to technical influencers’ search and evaluation flow. My belief is that technical influencers searching for an answer to a challenge they, or their company, have will avoid over-investing
 in early evaluation. I believe that quickly experienced proof-points of starlingx claims play directly into how a technical influencer researches possibilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My initial idea would be to create 5 minute video that are guided experiences through demonstrating each of the 6 claims asserted on the sites page: reliable, scalable, small footprint, ultra-low latency, secure, and lifecycle management.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
