Ongoing interviews, feature stories, etc.

[Robyn Bergeron]

In an effort to have more continuous content coming out of marketing,
I'd like to see the marketing team put some effort into producing
feature stories and interviews on a more regular basis (ie: weekly,
hopefully).   It helps us to get more content out in the community -
in particular, funneling into the Fedora Insight page, coming to a
computer near you very soon. :)  Additionally - doing an interview is
a really awesome, easy task for new contributors - it allows them to
talk to other people in the community, come up with their own
questions, get familiar with the wiki - without it being a huge,
daunting project.

Paul mentioned a week ago an idea he had for doing a feature story on
pkgdb (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012944.html)
- and at that point, we had no place to list feature story ideas.

But now we do!

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_interviews

This page is definitely a work in progress - I'm thinking about the
best way to keep this somewhat separate from Feature Profiles, which
should really be centered around specific Feature List / Talking
Points for an impending release, but still keep the ideas of how to
actually DO the interviews, etc.  As such - we need some content
around the "how-to" part, or a separate SOP, or to link to the Feature
Profiles SOP.  Thoughts, anyone?

I also need to work out a way to get these scheduled up - I figure as
we have more ideas, we can add a few per week to the in-progress
column - even as "unowned" - and create a marketing trac ticket for
each individual interview, and tag them for discussion in the weekly
marketing meeting.   (Thoughts welcome here as well.)

But - most importantly - I'd like to see some ideas about some cool
interviews that people would like to see in the near future.  I'm
going to write up a blog post on this - but if anyone on the marketing
list has ideas (and I KNOWWWWW we're full of ideas, so don't hold
back!) - please add them to the wiki page.

Cheers -

Robyn
