Hi, The membership map, so far which was only for ambassadors group, can now easily be extended to any FAS group. Have a look here: https://fedoraproject.org/membership-map/index.html If you want map of a particular group, please let me know. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India

Interviews and podcasts, update
by Paul W. Frields 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

We have several features slated for interview/podcast treatments: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:F12_in-depth_features I finished the editing of my podcast this past weekend. We are now at 4 weeks to release, so it would be good to see progress on the other ones as well. Can I help by getting a developer in touch with one or both of our other assignees? Paul

Discussion: messaging index
by Mel Chua 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

The idea of a Fedora Messaging Index came up in conversation, and I thought the resulting email was one that should get forwarded out to this list. A messaging index is like an extended version of talking points - how do we explain these things, what points should we keep in mind to bring up, how do we respond to questions like X - it's not a script to read from, nor is it a THOU MUST CHECK THIS!!! imperative (we won't run rpmlint-presentation on your slides) but it's meant to be a helpful resource that's available for folks who're figuring out their "Spread Fedora!" plans, as both a framework as to what sorts of things one might think about, and as a library to grab snips on. --- ...this is something I'd like to think about at FUDCon, because I want to take the Tuesday immediately after FUDCon as our everyone-online-let's-plan-our-F13-work time (and use spare moments during hackfests to get folks thinking about this). My initial thoughts are that a messaging index might not be the right place to start out, since a messaging index should (afaict) be writing down the stuff you're already saying, and so first we need to figure out what the folks who are speaking are saying. I'm starting to think about a list of tools I think (but do not know for sure) would make life easier for The Next Marketing Lead, who should be A Marketer and should not also have to be An Engineer. I think that getting those tools up and running might be the best thing I can do while I'm standing in these shoes. (In addition to release deliverables, I mean.) FI has given us a taste of what an effort like this looks like, and how to get better at doing it. (I know I've learned a lot.) This is what I can think of and the order I would do them in. This list is probably missing things; it's just off the top of my head. 1. location for publishing materials, incl. FWN (Fedora Insight) 2. survey (Robyn is working with infrastructure to get limesurvey up so we can do marketing research) 3. event/presentation materials library (a place for people to publish and find their slides, share signage, etc - work with Design for this, possibly as part of a speaker registration/search thing like http://geekspeakr.org) 4. automagical "track what people have been writing about Fedora, and responses the community has made!" dashboard... I am not sure what this looks like, and wonder how Sean does it at Sugar Labs. (Google Alerts?) I wonder if there is an open source version we can hook up.) I think that once #3 is up and things start going on there, a messaging index will almost write itself; once the People Presenting About Fedora have a common place to share things, the things our presentations say in common (or should say in common) will quickly become apparent. --- Nothing super actionable or urgent now (though if someone wants to pick up this project and run with it, go for it!) but it's a conversation that was marketing-related and so it should get forwarded out to this list. ;) --Mel

Simon and I just had a good talk going over the FUDCon hackathon on zikula, and we thought we'd share the transcript to give everyone a heads-up on what's coming. --Mel 22:34:35 < zodbot> Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10… 22:34:35 < zodbot> Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10… 22:34:35 < zodbot> Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10…

No meeting today - but here's a worksprint if people want to get together
by Mel Chua 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hey, everyone - sorry for the last minute notice, but I won't be able to make it for our meeting time today because Greg and I were scheduled in for something at RIT at the last minute (originally thought we'd have this time free). If someone wants to drive a meeting in my absence, the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight queue would be a good agenda to pass through real quick - or another good thing to do would be to worksprint on the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_tour, using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_tour as a template/guide. I'll try to catch up on IRC and email and wikipages and such later tonight when we get out in Toronto. --Mel

Polish done Tuesday?
by Paul W. Frields 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi Documenters and Marketeers, There are some late breaking but fairly minor changes happening that might affect screenshot making. If anyone is working on bits with screenshots or screencaps, we are trying to get those all finalized by Tuesday so that people will be able to install from Rawhide on Wednesday to take those shots and captures: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-October/msg00260.ht… Please stay tuned and I'll keep you guys informed of any news that might affect that date. -- Paul W.

Open-Source ATI R600/700 3D Support In Fedora 12
by Rahul Sundaram 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora_r600_3d&num=1 "Fedora 12 provides "out of the box" support for kernel mode-setting with ATI R600/700 series graphics hardware, but it does not provide 3D acceleration by default. However, Red Hat's X developers have made it very easy to enable this 3D support for the ATI Radeon HD 2000, 3000, and 4000 series hardware by just installing a special Mesa package from yum" Rahul
