[Minutes] [2016-11-29] Timeline for Appreciation Day, what *do* the Council and FESCo do?

[Justin W. Flory]

Hey folks! Thanks to everyone who came out to today's meeting. Apologies 
for my unplanned absences the couple of weeks, and again big shoutout to 
Rhea for helping take lead.

In today's meeting, we spent most of our time discussing two things: 
Fedora Appreciation Day and improving communication about the 
responsibilities and roles of the upcoming electable positions. The 
minutes did a fairly good job of marking up a quick summary of what 
happened, so I recommend checking them out for a quick read about what's 
going on in CommOps.

Also, I'm hoping to unbury our discussion on Fedora Marketing in October 
and bring it into the ticket for discussion and collaboration with the 
Marketing team tonight. We should have more to discuss on that next week.

Thanks again all! See you next week.

   * === jflory7 Open up discussion about Fedora Appreciation Day date on
     the mailing list ===  (jflory7, 17:39:39)

     up smaller tasks for how we can prepare for it (messaging,
     communication, options for contributors to thank each other)
     (jflory7, 17:51:49)
   * AGREED: Next steps will be to update ticket with proposed timeline
     for events, pending bexelbie's thoughts. After, we will try setting
     a date in the calendar. Then, we will (1) create a public wiki page
     to hold info, and (2) write a CommBlog post announcing it to come in
     the summer  (jflory7, 18:00:46)
