#222: Publicizing "Fedora affiliates" (or groups using Fedora) -----------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Fedora 23 Component: Feature stories | Severity: not urgent Keywords: meeting | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------- '''Discussed in [https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/marketing/marketing.2016-02-24-22.0… 2016-02-24 meeting].''' = What = It was mentioned during the meeting that it would be helpful and useful for Ambassadors to have a place to show people / groups examples of other groups successfully running Fedora on their own infrastructure. Ideas for this would be companies powering their infrastructure with Fedora, schools or universities that have Fedora computer labs, and other similar types of cases. = How = The difficult part in accomplishing this is identifying the list of entities that are using Fedora in applications like this. Would a call for action be needed, such as on the Magazine / Community Blog? Do we have a past list like this somewhere? Once these questions are answered and we have the list, we can ''then'' move on to how we want to publish and publicize the list. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/222> Marketing Team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> The Trac site for the Fedora Project Marketing team.

Review Requested: Updated Python Brochure
by Brian Proffitt 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

As per ticket #219[1], I have updated the Fedora Python brochure to include more current information. The updates are almost all around content, I left the design elements pretty much alone. I would like the group to examine the content and let me know if anything is wrong or missing. If I could get feedback to me by 1200 EDT (1600 UTC) Wednesday, March 30 (to allow for the upcoming US and EU holidays), that would be great. The pdfs are attached; my apologies for not attaching these files to the ticket itself; there was a file size limit. Please let me know if posting them somewhere else will be helpful.

Article Idea: What do you look forward in F24?
by Huiren Woo 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hey all, This article idea was spun and discussed a little in a Common Ops. On to the idea itself: Interview various Fedora users about what they look forward to in F24 and why. We could do Fedora server, Fedora workstation all together in a single article. The purpose of this article would be to excite folks about Fedora and make them talk about Fedora. More details available on Fedora Magazine [1]. What are your thoughts?

Marketing-trac: #219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors

#219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors ---------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 23 Component: Talking Points | Severity: urgent Keywords: python, nextmeeting | Blocked By: Blocking: | ---------------------------------+------------------------ Originally discussed in a [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2016-March/019027.html cross-posted mailing list thread]. = What = As was identified by mattdm at DevConf CZ (and earlier discussions), Python, Python developers, and Python communities are a major target audience for Fedora in 2016. Ambassadors are encouraged to attend and promote Fedora in these communities and share how Fedora makes working with Python easier, more effective, etc. However, we are not sending them out with any documented talking points! Marketing can help with this area. = How = We have a limited set of resources from the past we can work with. Ruth pointed out on the list that there is an existing [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Python_brochure Python brochure] that was created, but the information on it is old, outdated, and it needs some touching up. == Brochure update == The solution to this I proposed on the list was: 1. Identify "hot topics" of Python and create a list. * "What makes Python so great on Fedora?" * "How is working on Python in Fedora easier than other distros?" * "What tools and resources does Fedora offer for Python developers?" * "What kind of support is there for Python developers in the project?" * "I'm a Python developer and want to help contribute. What can I do to help?" 2. Submitting a ticket on the Design Team Trac with this info and a request to update the flyer for distribution in 2016. == Building our resources == Like was mentioned on the list, there are not many resources available showing or teaching how Fedora is Python-friendly. Perhaps working with our Infrastructure team to get a list of some of the hottest Python projects they have and using this as a base is in our interest. = When = This is an urgent need. Our Ambassadors either are going out or will be going out to Python events soon across the world and providing them with the resources to effectively market Python + Fedora is the first step. * **Tentative Due Date**: End of March, absolute *latest* = Open Discussion = Thoughts, ideas, or ways we can tackle this are welcome. I am intending to add this ticket to the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Marketing_meeting_2016-03-02 2016-03-02 Marketing meeting agenda]. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/219> Marketing Team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> The Trac site for the Fedora Project Marketing team.

[Pitch] Single sign-on improvements in Fedora 24 article
by Alexander Bokovoy 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi, For those who don't know me, I'm Alexander Bokovoy, working for Red Hat on FreeIPA, Samba, SSSD and other projects -- mostly on the server side but since last year I run an effort to get desktop side improved as well. I've created a pitch for the article for Fedora Magazine to highlight our effort between FreeIPA and Red Hat desktop teams to improve GNOME 3.20 use in enterprise environments. With Fedora 24 beta we'll have first user-visible results of this cooperation that allow single sign-on use of user credentials when Fedora 24 GNOME Desktop is enrolled to FreeIPA or Active Directory environments. The article is going to walk through the enabled features and would point to few external resources that describe how to setup some of server and client side for the single sign-on access. The content will be based on my talks done at devconf.cz and FOSDEM 2016. The pitch link is: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=12766&action=edit -- / Alexander Bokovoy

Suggestion about Magazine
by Sylvia Sánchez 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi all! I just realised that despite being Wordpress there's no option to share Fedora Magazine articles with Wordpress. Nor like it using WP neither. I think it would be nice if those options would be available. Any thoughts? Cheers, Sylvia

This *was* decided, and then a question was raised. I don't want to second-guess the second-guessing, because it was well-intentioned and we're all communicating in like 15 different venues and ... ugh. Communication is hard, kids. I agree with Dusty's post earlier, I think we should stick with the message that we are doing away with 32-bit cloud images irrespective of other 32-bit images/etc. We don't at the moment have the resources, or frankly interest, in doing much with 32-bit x86 cloud images. I'm CC'ing Dennis directly in case cloud@ and marketing@ are not on his "read immediately" list. :-) WG folks: Please respond with a +1 or -1. Other votes welcome too. Alternate proposals welcomed, but we should move quickly. Happy Friday. -- Joe Brockmeier | Community Team, OSAS jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/
