Re: The 4 Foundations thread on fedora-ambassadors
Hello! I'll try to compile at least 5 fedora-stories and make a solid proposition about what I have in mind. Hope to get this done to show it just after Christmas. 2009/12/20 Mel Chua m...@redhat.com 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 -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://www.fedora-ve.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MariaLeandro LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56 Be yourself...

Re: Let's meet! (Marketing FAD 2010)
hy there, *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. The PRO on that would be that we have a REALLY good Infrastructure. But I had the experience from meetings here around where participants are near their workplace that can be contraproductive (e.g. hold on, I had a call from ... I need to to do that ... I grab something from the office, wait)... All other places sounds good for me ... I did not know any of them ;-) 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? I throw some thoughts in: I think we did not meet together in THAT particular group, meaning we had never before a MKTG FAD. We encounter each other at FADs, Events, Office time, etc. but THAT will be the first MKTG FAD where marketing stuff came up on the table and get things done. I think we will become acquainted with each other, know how things work in one or another part of the world, put together best practices, etc. Therefore it will NEVER be enough time to do all things. But I think if it will be possible 3-4 working days withing 1,5 days of planed leisure plus some spare time would be a good choice. Do we want a leisure day? Hopefully yes ;-) 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? Put my in the wiki... hope 2 c u soon :-) Henrik -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Technical communication notes from Betty Ong
Notes from Betty Ong, a student in Seneca's graduate program for technical communications, with my notes inline. Some Marketing Considerations Branding: We need consistency in the message that is communicated through newsletters, podcasts, etc. For example, if a bug is fixed, but we find later that it introduces some other problem, every reference to that bug fix needs to include the extra info about the other problem. Single-sourcing of content would be good, but maybe not so feasible for news. It might be good to start a writing style sheet that a single Fedora meaning for specific words. I would rephrase this as how can we make it so that the easiest way to do things reinforces a consistent message? The idea of a brand/marketing style guide is intriguing, though I'm not sure where to go with it right now - I'm curious how this works for Docs, and for projects outside Fedora. Soliciting feedback from users: After a download is complete, there could be a message to inform new users that they can request additional features by following some easy process. insert fedora-tour here Responding to news about Fedora: We can set up a feed that serves up everything Fedora. insert Fedora Insight here It was fascinating to see what someone's first impressions of Fedora Marketing were through those lens - how do we get more of this kind of feedback? --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
