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.

Here's what I > came up with so far; I think we can hammer it into something useful: Hi Pete, thanks for kicking this off - I've been overflooded with all features coming and I did not have time to start it (actually I had time, but mentally ;-). At FUDCon we had a long discussion how the feature process should look like and the result is - we would like to do the real proper planning and tracking of features (so it will be Planning process, not feature process - even we could find some other name?) and split it from marketing side - so only a subset of these proposals will be featured (and thus it's the word "feature"). > Accepted Features[1] will be listed in a table roughly analogous to that > used for Release Note Beats[2]. The table would have columns for the > Feature name, a docs volunteer, and developer contact, as well as others > reflecting the Feature documenting workflow. Believe me - maintaining even FeatureList is a big pita - but speaking about tracking of development and splitting marketing - this could be done on the main FeatureList - I'm definitely open to any suggestions from documentation team how to enhance FeaturesList to work for you - as we really want all planning/tracking to happen in one place (and definitely not anything that's out of sync often etc.). One idea is to try to use some other tool than plain wiki - that's not very suitable for this task (but with more parsing scripts...). But at least there's huge resistance to Trac at least in FESCo ;-) > A set of guidelines for the docs volunteer covering a feature will come > along with the table. The set of tasks to be juggled might include: > - Establishing an appropriate developer point of contact to aid in > documentation. Note that this isn't always the feature owner. But mostly it is Feature owner (but anyone willing to help could be added to Owner section as "Developer contact"). > - Ensuring the content of the Feature is understandable by a > hypothetical average user. This is something I'm not sure based on the split we want - as we really need technical details for planning features and that users/press part should be processed differently (and aim on the user). > - Working up a basic guide to implementing the feature, if applicable. > - Creating an entry for the Feature in the appropriate Release Notes > beat. +1, again - more features = more data for RN > - Checking existing guides for impact caused by the new Feature, filing > bugs as needed, and assisting the guide owners in updating as > appropriate. > > A defined process like this will help split up the workload caused by > feature churn and cut redundant efforts by providing new information for > multiple published works. Your thoughts? It's a good idea to have a good source for multiple published works in the way - FeatureList for tracking (RNs, docs) etc -> pick up spotlight Features (we'd like to Feature) -> Announcements are for free, leaflet for media is for free, ambassadors... Btw. I understand that we can never split the feature process completely, and there will be always people using the internal planning/tracking process for articles etc. - we are open project and we will never hide any kind of information. But FreeBSD kernel is a good example how it works :) I'm CC'in marketing team for feedback.

Self-Introduction: Harry R Hodgson
by harryrhodgson＠gmail.com 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Hi, my name is Harry Hodgson and I live in Britian . My FAS username is harryrhodgson, and my IRC nickname is not yet created, I know how to work IRC just don't have access to Fedora ATM to do so as I'm traveling. I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through personal distro research, and am interested in joining because I believe in freedom and freedom that brings you the latest and greatest technological advancements, I believe Fedora brings this - not only is it free but it is also highly regarded and provides the user with a varied range of applications that maximizes there usage. This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! Although I've been wanting to get involved for well over a year, no communities offered a marketing experience like Fedora did! I've worked in Marketing in the past. Some of the projects I've worked on, or roles I've had, include: Marketing Manager at LetsLunchUK - launched in the UK to just under 200 users, we secured coverage on TechCrunch, Wall Street Journal and The Huffington Post Marketing Director at LetsGrow Foundation - currently working with the LetsGrow foundation to build a secure interest before launch. Marketing manager at Flowsee - worked with start-up Flowsee to market there social network and to kickstart there kick starter which raised a suitable amount of money but didn't reach there goal. My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: Social Media Marketing - Getting the Fedora community pumped and eager. Physical marketing - Hopefully attending both online and offline events and spreading the fedora cheer. Media attention - Getting the media to spread the fedora way of life. Other skills include: Podcasting and blogging knowledge. Fantastic communication skills on and offline. I'd also like to learn: Development skills through the community although this isn't marketing the community would be strong enough to teach me and I'd be able to help Fedora in two areas. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am educating myself on the ways of business at South Axholme Academy. (Studying at this school.) A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are to make fedora the most popular linux distro in the UK maybe even the world and to meet and socialize with hundreds of awesome open source loving humans - that is so important to me, I want to be part of a community . I would also like to see Fedora torrents - i've not seen them yet but usually they're faster than mirror downloads and that would totally rock for all those who want Fedora super fast. I am wondering about why Fedora is so damn awesome? and will we ever see a completely cloud based Fedora?. Thanks for taking your time to read this email, it is very much appreciated! Lets rock the open source world! I'd just like to thank you for offering a template, so easy and gave me a lot of time to go through and really put in consideration to what I was writing. Fantastic! All the best, Harry Hodgson
