[fedora-marketing] Issue #248 `Create a education-focused marketing campaign`
by Justin W. Flory 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

jflory7 reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-marketing` that you are following: `` **Originally discussed in [2017-02-14 meeting](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-02-14/market… # Summary Similar to the [Fedora <3 Python](https://fedoralovespython.org/) campaign, the Marketing Team should organize a campaign targeted towards an education type of audience (students, professors, faculty, teachers, etc.). # Analysis This was a long discussion in our meeting, and before summarizing it, it's important to have some context of other similar things where this has been discussed or has been focused on already. * [Fedora Objective: University Involvement Initiative](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives/University_Involvemen… * [Original EDU FAD 2016 plans](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_EDU_2016) * [EDU refresh - raw notes](http://etherpad.osuosl.org/fedora-EDU-refresh) * [CommOps ticket 43: EDU Roster](https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/43) There's no easy way to summarize this one. But in short, we identified the unique success of the [Fedora <3 Python](https://fedoralovespython.org/) campaign in appealing to a unique niche of our broader audience of users. Ideally, we would like to craft a similar campaign that focuses more closely at a university / education type of audience. ### How to move forward We established a strong interest and some general directions for how to proceed for this, but we will want to establish some sort of planning milestones and also circulate this idea with other groups. This would make a good candidate for something to share our more complete thoughts with the Fedora Council with, as per ticket #246, to get their input and feedback. `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/248

Where to put press kits: GitHub or Pagure?
by Justin W. Flory 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hey all, Apologies for the delay in getting this thread started so late. In our last meeting, we discussed the idea of integrating "press kits" more fully into the Marketing workflow for each release. A press kit is a deliverable we would prepare each release cycle, and also has the benefit of having concrete activities that would need to be consistently completed each release cycle (which makes it easy to document the process and to help others contribute to these tasks). Using a public git forge or public platform for the press kit is a good way to promote our content and encourage community contributions, while also making sure our work and content is easily findable and revisable. One concern I had was where we decide to host this content. Pagure is the default choice for any git repository in Fedora, but I also want to be cognizant that git can be an intimidating tool for someone who is not normally a technical person, and marketing is usually a non-technical area of the project. Because of this, I think there are special concerns to take into consideration when choosing a platform for where we want to host our content. Because of these reasons, I felt like GitHub might make a more intuitive place to host the press kits than Pagure because of the benefit of having a web editor where people can make quick edits or revisions, and then easily submit those as a pull request. Having a tool like this enables someone who has never played with git or isn't familiar with it (but still has ideas to contribute) to have their input and contribute to the content we host in the press kit. Does anyone have any other thoughts about where we want to put our press kits? We can discuss this in the meeting today too, but I wanted to try to get this out earlier as a precursor to any discussion. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

by Justin W. Flory 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hey all! This week's meeting just came to a close, although we are still continuing in #fedora-mktg. We mostly focused on building / generating our press kits and what that will like (in terms of what we're including and how it would fit into our release schedule) along with our talking points (although we're more or less discussing this part in channel now).

Spin Your Exhibit marketing ideas
by Jeff Sandys 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

I am Fedora Ambassador Jeff Sandys and gave a presentation called Spin Your Exhibit at Fedora Rochester. The main idea is that we want to give the Linux Fest guest an experience they will remember. By focusing on a spin we can focus the experience. While some guests are not interested in music or games, many are. Guests for music could experience playing instruments, guests for games could experience a TuxCart tournament or play other games. The swag we give guests should be associated with their experience, we gave guitar picks and TuxCart entry cards to guests. If a guest tells a friend about their Fedora experience we succeeded in making a connection. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spin_Your_Exhibit I hope the marketing team will take a look at my Spin Your Exhibit presentation and consider how we can improve the value of Fedora’s conference and Linux Fest presence and sponsorship. Thanks, Jeff Sandys

Intro and Cube
by Alexandre Moine 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi all, My name is Alexandre, I am a student in computer sciences and I am a fedora packager and ambassador here in France. I first wanted to translate the Fedora Cheat Cube [1] to use it in our events, but the Cube seems to need some love. I have updated an old ticket opened by Ankur Sinha [2] based on duff'y comments and Ankur work, please tell me if there is anything that I can do to update/rework it. For the translation, I don't know if it's possible to automatize text-getting with some svg voodoo... But it will help us! Thank you in advance, Alexandre Ps: I had never done anything with Inkscape before, so there certainly some things to say!
