Marketing-trac: #126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information

#126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: other | Severity: urgent Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- We often get inquiries from magazines asking for permission to bundle one or more Fedora discs with a future issue. This is a fairly routine process as long as the disc is an unmodified copy of Fedora media (i.e. an official release). Some interaction with Red Hat Legal is required to send out an agreement to the magazine. We can speed up that interaction and the overall process if we have a page that tells magazines what they need to provide, and to whom, for a covermount agreement. Generally we need the following information, sent to the ''press(a)fp.o'' address: * The name (d/b/a) and address of the company producing the magazine * The exact disc(s) that are to be bundled * Contact information for the person making the request -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/126> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

#125: SSSD F13 feature -- press blog entry -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: pfrields Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: Feature Stories | Severity: urgent Keywords: meeting | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I had suggested this earlier to Robyn -- a press blog entry for Red Hat's PR channel (http://press.redhat.com) that would synopsize and point to our interview on the wiki. However, Robyn's pretty busy right now. Kara Schiltz from Red Hat's PR department is willing to publish something next week. I'm going to pick this up and drive it forward, my way of helping this week on something Marketing related! -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/125> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

#128: Press Release for FUDCon KL 2012 --------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: izhar | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Future releases Component: FUDCon | Severity: urgent Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | --------------------+------------------------------ Hi, Could we have a press-release for FUDCon KL 2012 which is happening this May?. We are planning to distribute it to local newspapers and news sites. We are originally planning to produce our own but FPL said that marketing might want to do and approve it. In term of dateline, .. erm .. is 27th March too short?, or more than enough?. The earlier the better of course Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/128> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

Insight and Fedora Weekly News
by Ruth Suehle 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

A group of interested people gathered today to discuss breathing some new life into Fedora Weekly News (minutes below). What we concluded was that we'd actually like to breathe some life into Insight and for FWN to become an arm of that. To expound, here's the proposal: - suehle, jbrooks, and iambryan have volunteered as editors - We'd like to expand Insight to be more blog, web-magazine-style with: - Short, informative content like you might think of FWN for - Longer form stories, interviews, and articles - The technical content that Fedora used to create to some extent for Red Hat Magazine (which is in high demand but no longer exists) - Cultivated content from Planet - The content that Insight was already meant for, like Board meeting minutes or announcements - Fedora Weekly News would then become the weekly email newsletter of highlights from what had been published on Insight that week. - We'd like to see at least two writers/cultivators-of-content per beat What we're looking for now is for someone to shout, "good idea!", "bad idea!", or "I was already halfway through with something like that!" before we continue down the path. "I'd like to help with a beat!" is also a good answer. :-) Thanks!

I would like to have some stuff with the Fedora Cloud logo¹ to hand out at conferences and stuff, and to mail to people who are significant community contributors. Stickers, pens, mugs, maybe even shirts. Is there a process for this? 1. https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/224/fedora-cloud-2.s… -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

"Subject: Red Hat Releases Fedora 18 Beta" What the hell is going on here last time I checked it was Fedora's community that released Fedora. It's time for the board to come clean with the community on what's going on here... JBG 1. https://lwn.net/Articles/527130/

Will Project Fedora run on the fedora project? ;-)
by Jan Wildeboer 29 Nov '12

Not sure if we should act here with the full legal force (please DO NOT!) or if it would be better to contact them and discuss a possible release on Fedora as tip of the hat. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/texmurphy/tex-murphy-project-fedora Jan -- Jan H Wildeboer | EMEA Open Source Affairs | Office: +49 (0)89 205071-207 Red Hat GmbH | Mobile: +49 (0)174 33 23 249 Technopark II, Haus C | Fax: +49 (0)89 205071-111 Werner-von-Siemens-Ring 11 -15 | 85630 Grasbrunn | _____________________________________________________________________ Reg.

Marketing team meeting agenda for Thursday, Nov, 29th @ 3 pm EST (8 pm UTC)
by Sarah White 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Marketing team meeting When: Thursday, Nov. 29 @ 3pm EST (8pm UTC) Where: #fedora-meeting channel Please don't hesitate to participate in this meeting - marketing experience is not required! There's been lots of questions and ideas proposed in various email threads recently so I gathered them into one email so they weren't lost and we could discuss them further during the weekly marketing meeting. The name(s) following the ideas and questions refer to the person who proposed it. 1. Discuss "I am number 18" campaign -Bogomil 2. Better coordination of our presence in social media. I'm currently running Fedora Project's page at Google+, which works fine, but we don't really have any official account at Facebook for example. -eischmann 3. More leaflets with information about Fedora. We've made leaflets about free graphic tools (GIMP, Inkscape,...) that you can find it Fedora, but I'd like to see more. For example leaflets about Ruby, Java, Python,... in Fedora with information why Fedora is a great platform for developing in a particular language. We could take such materials to conferences such as EuroPython, RuPy to promote Fedora among developers. This task would require coordination between our language team (to provide info what advantages and tools Fedora provides) and our design team to put the info together and create leaflets. -eischmann 4. Document tips and things to remember as far as working with the Fedora community for the Red Hat PR folks. Things like where you can always find Fedora's mission statement, the schedule, etc., as well as "please don't do this" type of stuff. -rbergeron 5. What is Fedora's role to different audiences beyond developing and testing new technology for Red Hat products. - inode0 6. Who is ultimately responsible for ensuring release announcements go out the door? -Johann 7. Create or complete alpha and beta announcement SOP. -rbergeron 8. Review and update/complete marketing SOP. -rbergeron and jreznik 9. Guide/wiki page for news sources, bloggers, etc. to educate people regarding Fedora and Red Hat's relationship. - jreznik 10. Explain "in marketing way" the delays behind F18 release (where the slip announcements are not very useful) to community - jreznik 11. What are the places, internally and externally, we send Beta announcement? - jreznik 12. Create and maintain our own extensive database of contacts. -johann 13. One way to confront shortages in contributors is to send our cool Fedora contributors out to where they congregate. So I wonder if there are some marketing events that might provide us an opportunity to do just that? - inode Cheers, Sarah graphite6
