fedora-tour update
hi, wrt : http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-12-15/fedora-meeting.2009-12-15-20.03.log.html Ryan and I had both been off the internet for a week or so. Sorry we couldn't make it to the meeting. There isn't much to report on the project currently: We got the git repo on fedorahosted today[1]. We're working on the app. I've added a placeholder splash[3] etc. to the app already. My blog post from earlier today[2] We're going to try and do it the "release early, release quickly" way. Version 0.1 should be out in a few weeks. :) regards, Ankur (franciscod) [1] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/wiki [2] http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/2009/12/19/fedora-hosts-fedora-tour/ [3] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/browser/data/fedora-tour-splash.png -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: fedora-tour update
This is an excellent example of how to keep communication lines open for a new project - IRC meetings, mailing list updates, and blogging about current progress (and in past posts, opportunities to help). We're going to try and do it the "release early, release quickly" way. Version 0.1 should be out in a few weeks. :) Let us know when you're ready to figure out what content to put into your design - it might be that we can make a pretty good number of our release deliverables reusable for this as well. --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: "The 4 Foundations" thread on fedora-ambassadors
So this is the idea: * 4 foundations: is the literary representation of what is fedora as a complement of technology and people. * Personas (people): is a way to know more about who makes Fedora possible, how and what does everything gets involved * Picture book: is a window through our team real life beyond the pc monitor. what can we do with this 3 projects? you can ask this questions to yourself: The idea was to possibly combine resources from the above 3 projects into Making One Deliverable: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sankarshan/FedoraHandbook This isn't a release deliverable (non-critical-path for Marketing right now) but it would be *extremely* nice to have. It may make a good deliverable for our FAD: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Workshops (depending on the other things we want to get done). Mostly, this project needs someone to step up and move it forward, which is what Tatica is doing. :) --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Let's meet! (Marketing FAD 2010)
Hi, Talking to Mel last night reminded me that the team needs to start getting the ball rolling on Marketing FAD. We need to make a few decisions here for the FAD to happen, so that we can even start planning it: Where, who, when. Who: Add yourself to the wiki if you want to attend, either in person or virtually. We currently have 9 in-person and one virtual attendee on the wiki page[1] Knowing the Who will make the Where easier. Where: A few locations seem to make sense to me, feel free to throw out any others... *Red Hat office in either Boston, MA or Raleigh, NC as we have attendees in the area (Mel for Boston, Max and Kara for Raleigh) and we have the benefit of having a Red Hat office, which would probably get us easy conference space. *Las Vegas, NV was thrown out there; cheap hotels, cheap eats, LOTS of touristy things to do, lots of conference space. Of course, with it being Vegas, it may take some work to keep things on FAD topic :) *Phoenix/Tempe, AZ as Robyn's an hour or two's drive from Phoenix, and I'm in Phoenix. We have _AMAZING_ weather in March (afaik, it's still cold and gross in Boston and possibly NC in March, it'll probably be in th 60-70°F range in the Phoenix area.) Tempe is close to at least two universities, one of whom I can get a contact at easily. I'm writing this email sitting in my back yard, in a tee shirt, if that helps explain how awesome the weather is in winter :) *Portland: Portland is open-source friendly, and John Poelstra's centered there. They also have good coffee I hear, which would be a big plus for a Fedora event :) When: Mel suggested a March time frame, which is pretty broad. My high school has spring break from Sat 13 to Sun 21, so any days in those time frames work best for me and (iirc) Robyn, as her children have those days off, too. Some questions: How many days? Do we want a leisure day? What works best for everyone else interested in attending? Of course, these questions are avoiding the large and awesome topic, of "what" we want to do at this event? Mel said we wanted deliverables after the event, what deliverables do we want? Any other goals?

Contributor Spotlight Podcast
Hey all, At a few weeks' ago marketing(may have been ambassadors?) meeting, I drug Paul Mellors (cc'd) into a discussion with Max Spevack and I about creating a podcast where various Fedora contributors would be interviewed by the host(s) about what they do in the project, how they found Fedora, why they are a member, etc etc etc... Well, I think that such a thing would be a good marketing project, and think that the new year would be the perfect time to start it up. Max said he had some ideas on the podcast, and so did Paul, so I think it would be a good idea to start up this discussion again, in a mailing list. I don't know if Paul is a member of this list (I think so) but hopefully he doesn't mind joining in on the discussion :) Mine are, in essence, that first paragraph, it's a pretty straightforward idea, I think. We'd brainstorm a list of contributors; not just big names, but a lot of the newer developers, too. This has, I think, a two-fold effect: It gets new developers who get featured -really- excited and the chance to promote $project of theirs, and it shows people who may be thinking about contributing just how easy it can be. Thoughts?

This has, I think, a two-fold effect: It gets new developers who get featured -really- excited and the chance to promote $project of theirs, and it shows people who may be thinking about contributing just how easy it can be. Thoughts? Even easier startup: interview chain. You interview someone, they become the next interviewer and have to interview someone else, and so on down the line. (Note: this only works if it's really easy to set up for making a podcast, so that's something to check.) This is one of those great ideas that came up once upon a time, and keeps coming up (because it /is/ a great idea), and mostly needs someone to step up and do the first interview. ;) --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

This would be great stuff for Fedora Insight :) I have been thinking something along the same line - although I was thinking more in terms of print / email / irc interviews, since I'd imagine quite a number of devs don't necessarily have the gear needed to do audio, or the bandwidth to follow Paul's guide to doing a podcast interview (I'll plug that link again for goodness: http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-news-list/2009-10/msg0.html). The great part about it is - in addition to getting developers excited about contributing, like Ryan mentioned - is that it also helps to open up the dialog a little more between marketing and engineering. Alternately, we could do two separate chains - one where we have devs interviewing each other on features via email, and maybe the occasional podcast interview by us. And since I'm such a marketeer, I have a fabulous name for it: "Under the Hood" ... since that's basically what we're doing, taking a look under the hood with these interviews.
