 = Phenomenon =

 It's about that time of year! Fedora 24 is just around the corner. For
 Fedora 23, the idea came up of having a different kind of release
 announcement, adding more "human" parts of the magic happening for each
 release into the announcement. mattdm expressed interest in this then, but
 due to the time crunch, we didn't have as much time to work on it as we
 liked.

 = Background Analysis =

 We need to see how many hands we have available for this task, what kind
 of angles we want to approach, and whether we want to do one or two
 versions of the announcement (and if two, where the two types end up
 going).

 = Implementation Recommendation =

 This will be a good topic for the meeting to decide how we want to shape
 this release announcement. We will discuss it in today's meeting and then
 also wait for feedback from others who are unable to attend.

Comment (by jflory7):

 '''Discussed in [https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
 meeting-1/2016-05-25/marketing.2016-05-25-20.55.html 2016-05-25
 meeting].'''

 In the meeting, we agreed on a few things and had ideas for how to move
 forward on this one. The
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F24_release_announcement F24 release
 announcement] page was forked today.

 = Ideas =

 * There should only be '''one''' release announcement. The idea
of having
 two isn't feasible.
 * One way to make this release announcement more unique is by telling the
 story from how F24 started. There could be a brief introduction /
 "Thoughts from the FPL" to open it. Other engineers, like FESCo, could
 maybe add statements about F24 to the announcement.
 * For the final announcement, we can omit the "full" technical details and
 point to the release notes via the Docs Team for what has changed, what's
 new, and anyone who is looking for the raw differences between the
 release.

 = Proposed actions =

 1. mattdm and decause will sync up about ideas and plans for the story of
 Fedora 24 and the announcement.
 2. The ideas from this meeting will be posted in the ticket (happening
 now).
 3.

[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...
 A thread will be posted to the Marketing list about the announcement.]

Honestly having two seems to make sense to me from the development cycle
sense. not everything in beta or  alpha  was every end-user noticeable. 
Nor is it (in my opinion) a good idea to assume  or force users to find
another doc (release notes) for a  full announce...  Worst case leave
the 'full' features and just  have an abridged tagline style description
of each.
