idea! - Fedora Marketing Book Club
by Robyn Bergeron 30 May '10

30 May '10

Greg's blog post today (http://gregdekspeaks.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/fedoras-goals/) has rekindled (no amazon pun intended, i swear!) a thought I had a while back on starting a marketing book club. Mchua and I had discussed it a bit on irc sometime late last year, but I think we were focused on something else at the time, and the idea was lost. Until now! I would like to propose that we have a "book club" for marketing-reading-material, but of course, not limited to marketing team members. The basics of what I'm thinking are: * We start with a book in March. One book per month - at the end of each month, we have an IRC discussion on what we've learned, and how we can apply it to Fedora and what we're working on. Hopefully, everyone will want to do things like blog about what they've read and learned, or write about it to the fedora-mktg mailing list, or add a review to the book club wiki. * Everyone is welcome to join. Nobody is -required- to join. * Books are on our own individual dime (books are good for you! better than coffee!) - we should do our best to pick things that are likely available at the library (ie: not just freshly released last week). If budget for a book is a problem and it can't be found, we should try to accommodate people so they can participate. The goal here (yes, I bang that goal drum a lot!) is to increase our collective knowledge about All Things Marketing, provide a forum for discussing what we've learned, and provide us with some brainstorming and inspiration on things we can do to improve Marketing. Thoughts? Feedback? :) I've made a wiki page to get the ball rolling - hopefully we can work out the minor details (things like, "I have no clue how to run a book club discussion, do you?") between now and March. This is meant to be fun / enriching - not MORE WORK! - so I hope people are interested, and if anyone thinks that one book a month is too much, please say so. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Book_Club Cheers! -robyn

Feature Profiles :: NetworkManager
by Nelson Marques 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

As most will know, I've got assigned with the NetworkManager Feature Profiles. To accomplish this, I would like to point the following: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Network_Manager_Workbench This is where I'm going to gather all the information I've collected. This is not in any way a final version or something that will remain for long. This is basically for me to work out a structure and later on will move the reviewed contents to the final destination that someone will provide me (Mel et all, could provide some input for the right place and designation for this?). Furthermore: * The screenshots are not definitive, it's just a caption of things I found relevant and might change depending on the interviews. * I will use this very same page to work the raw interview material (edited). Anyone has a though about where to place the un-edited material for later usage if needed ? * The screenshots do not hold valid information. No need to camp my house door for free internet, or to worry about something regarding it's information. * I've taken the screenshots on Fedora 12, with a vanilla user, using the vanilla pre-set artwork (GNOME + GTK Fedora Theme + Default pointer, etc). * Everyone is free to participate and edit (specially english native speakers, since English isn't my native language). * Any suggestions will be considered (most likely added/reviewed), I've kept a special place (end of page) for anyone's suggestions. Working on: - Gathering background information regarding NetworkManager. - Preparing Interviews for developers. - wiki skills. As always feel free to highlight and participate with comments, suggestions, information, critics and whatever you find relevant. Thanks all for surviving this wall of text. nmarques -- Nelson Marques Private Contact- 07721(a)ipam.pt

Call for help/ideas: Beta announcement, briefing Ambassadors
by Mel Chua 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

From the meeting today: We need someone to work with Docs (likely tomorrow night?) to write the Beta announcement - any volunteers? Support and a howto can be provided[0]. ;) We also need to figure out what we would like to do to brief Ambassadors this round. An incredibly stubby stub page for this is up at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_Ambassadors_briefing - if you have any thoughts, please add them here. I'll be taking a second pass tomorrow, but right now I'm drawing an utter blank. Any takers? These are both great things for new folks to get started with (the second one is particularly good for people who are experienced Ambassadors, but new to Marketing). --Mel [0] by which I mean "I'm sure we can improvise a set of directions to follow here, based on prior beta release announcement emails."

wiki challenge -- now on the wiki
by Max Spevack 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Since this idea began at the Marketing FAD, I thought I'd follow up on list. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wiki_challenge Mostly it's just a question of incentives and making it a fun game for people to see who can meet the challenge first. That's the marketing trick here, I suppose. --Max

Limesurvey - Update
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello Friends, I've decided that the best thing to do at this point in time is to put limesurvey on the backburner until (1) F13 is out the door, and (2) Until Fedora Insight is out the door. I was hoping to have a meeting of "next steps" prior to F13 release (as you may have seen in a previous email) just so we could at least have a task list of "what to do" so we can be off and running; but with so many of our Infrastructure / Marketing multi-tasking awesome folks working on FI, I think it's best to just wait to worry about next steps until we're more freed up with time. That said: I know that Ryan, Nelson, and David are all continuing to plug away on the remaining packages that are needed for limesurvey, and I hope they continue to do so - it's hard to move onto the 'next steps of Limesurvey deployment' until these packages are resolved. And with that, I'd like to take a moment and thank all three of you, along with anyone else who has been working on packaging for Limesurvey (I'm not forgetting you intentionally!), PROFUSELY, for all the work you have been doing. I realize that the packaging on this particularly piece of infrastructure has been anything but easy, and I want you to know that your efforts are not in vain - we WILL be plowing forward on this once Fedora Insight is deployed, which should be in conjunction with the F13 launch. Seriously: I owe you folks cookies (even if some of you, *cough cough* David, doubt the existence of cookies *grin*). I'll be taking this off our meeting schedule and setting it as an F14 "big to-do" in Trac, so we don't use cycles on discussion during meeting time... but by all means, if you are moving ahead or fixing things or making packages or, in general, doing magic with Limesurvey, feel free to update the wiki and mail the marketing list - we would all love to hear about forward progress (or alternately, major blocking problems with packaging!). Rock on, Robyn

Anyone could provide me with some websites that provide artistic musical content that complies with our licences ? This is just for a small test I'm doing with KDEnlive (don't mock the GNOME user that uses KDE stuff). nelson. -- Nelson Marques <07721(a)ipam.pt>
