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.

Pause google plus events for the time being?
by Ankur Sinha 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi folks, It appears g+ doesn't have a mechanism to set who you'd like to receive event invitations from yet. At the moment, everyone in a circle you invite gets invited, whether they follow you or not. In this case, the invitation is going a little towards spamming. We aren't the only ones that are having issues with the event system and google devs appear to be working on improving the it already. However, until they can sort it out to allow users to limit who they want to receive invitations from, I suggest we pause the fedora test day invitations on G+? All fedora community folks that receive the invitations sort of send out invites to their circles, and it isn't looking pretty :/ Maybe we can just limit it to "posts" about test days rather than "events" and "invites"? (People aren't that finicky about posts apparently) -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. Looking to contribute to Fedora?

No meeting this week (9/27)
by Ruth Suehle 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

I'll be out of town and not likely near a computer during the meeting, so unless someone has something to discuss and wants to volunteer to run it (it's not hard, I promise!), you can have back that hour of your week. :-) Ruth

Two test day today, please spread the word!
by Ankur Sinha 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hi folks, There are two tests today (18th of September): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-09-18_i18n https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-09-18_OpenStack I've already posted on facebook (the fedora community and fedora linux groups) and G+ already has them all listed as events. I've also gone ahead and created facebook events for each. I'll do the same for all the other test days as well when I have the time. Please spread the word. Adam already blogged about the test days too[1] [1] http://www.happyassassin.net/2012/09/17/test-days-tomorrow-openstack-and-in… -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.

meditations on press mentions
by Jason Brooks 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

I've been thinking about a process for getting press mentions from Google Alerts into the wiki. Here are my initial thoughts on a script/process: I'm thinking we can do this with a script that takes the Alerts RSS feed for a particular language (I set up a bunch at http://venus1-jeb.rhcloud.com/), parses out date, link, title and author (in the goog alerts rss feed, author = publication), and sends out this info to the marketing list, formatted for cutting and pasting into the wiki. A member of the marketing team would then check out the links to see that they are in fact press mentions, take note of the Author of the piece (since the google alert doesn't include this), and paste them into the wiki page. It could happen once per week, and would arrive at the list looking something like this: Hi, for the week of $WEEK, here are the English press mentions from Google Alerts. Please have a look at these links, and paste them into the page at $WHERE if they look good. Take note of the Author of the item, and include that information when you paste it into the wiki. When you're done, please reply to this message on the list so we know it's already handled. |- | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | [http://www.url-of-article Title of Article] | Publication name | AUTHOR | ENGLISH | Notes |- | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | [http://www.url-of-article Title of Article] | Publication name | AUTHOR | ENGLISH | Notes *** Other thoughts: 1. I played around a bit w/ feedparser (http://packages.python.org/feedparser/introduction.html), which should do for writing this script. 2. It may be good to record the items harvested in a mysql db, and dedupe them based on URL. 3. The URLs in google alerts come wrapped in google tracking stuff, and that'll have to be removed by the script. 4. The same script could format things a bit differently and send the mentions to the FWN list as a proto-In the News blurb, to help automate that, as well. 5. I figure this can be hosted in openshift. 6. If we wanted, we could populate the "Notes" field with the blurb from the rss entry. 7. Might be cool for the script to go look at the URL and try to figure out the author, and addtl info, perhaps as a future rev enhancement. I'll get going on this, and as soon as I have something to look at, I'll put it in github and send out the link. Regards, Jason

[in the news] Fedora Project Manages Test Day With Google+
by Jiri Eischmann 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hi, yesterday, I went across an article [1] that writes about how Fedora uses Google+ to attract people to testing. "It’s great to see the Fedora project leveraging emerging social media like Google+ in order to gain valuable feedback from the community, though this effort doesn’t seem to have garnered the sort of interest the the project might have liked." I restarted our G+ page just a few days ago and it's already drawn some interest. The author says that 200 signed up for a test day is not a big success, but just because he doesn't know the reality of test days where average attendance is 10-15 ppl. Those things really make a difference! I'd love to see someone to do the same on Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca, Diaspora,... because we can reach much more people.
