Tickets wouldn't hurt. It's been a while so I don't recall how much we
were using Trac at the time, but it couldn't hurt.
It seems to me it was weekly for a while, then bi-weekly. Again, it's
been a long while (2013, early 2014 maybe?) and a new flock of Fedorans
to help kickstart.
With what you and Ruth said, it seems like it might be a good idea to
space meetings on a monthly basis, and maybe increase frequency in the
month / two months before the release?
I think the next step might be to put a potential meeting date and
timeslot on the map for 2016.

I'm ok with a ticket based meetings (in effect I'm using tickets as a
to do list yet). Let me make some considerations:
1) at present few people from magazine is working on marketing as well;
2) in these days I'm looking at the wiki and we need a renovation about
that. There are a lot of pages I didn't know they existed;
3) maybe we should plan meeting time based on our tasks, and monthly
only for parsing tickets;
4) in order to have a clear marketing meeting I think it don't have to
include magazine (magazine meetings can goin'on as usual).
Today I have time enough to put my specific considerations in the
retrospective.
Thanks.

Yes. We definitely need to overhaul the wiki...

Not sure I fully grok what you're suggesting here. I think you're saying
monthly meeting to go through tickets, but no sure about "plan meeting
time based on our tasks."
4) in order to have a clear marketing meeting I think it don't

Yeah, I think the magazine folks have a system that's working and don't
want to tamper with that. This would be for all other marketing issues,
and if we have something specific to the magazine we can hit up that
meeting.
Best,

CommOps will add this to our "WikiGardening" section for our next
meeting (after the new year.) We could still use a battle plan though,
in addition to refreshing and revamping old SoP's, and other mktg
content I we already know to be out of date.

monthly meeting to go through tickets, but no sure about "plan meeting
time based on our tasks."
Ticket based meetings work well for design, and have worked decently
well for CommOps thusfar too. We didn't use this model at first
because our team infrastructure wasn't quite up to speed (people or
tech wise) but I think we've gotten the hang of it now. I would def
recommend bi-weekly, ticket based meetings, at the very least. CommOps
will ship a "whenisgood" poll for this in the near future to nail down
days/times.

Yes, def agree with jzb here. Magazine is rocking and rolling, and we
want that to continue humming along at full-speed :)
Looking Forward,

monthly meeting to go through tickets, but no sure about "plan
meeting
time based on our tasks."
Hello Joe,
I meant that, excluding Magazine stuff, there is spare time where we
don't have anything really urgent to discuss and we could base the
meetings time on the marketing tasks [1] because there are days in
which we need to be synchronized.Of course if we decide to manage those
tasks through the trac this proposal doesn't make any sense.
[1]

Hope I have explained better what I meant.
Thanks.

Hi all! Hope you've been having a good New Year so far.
Now that we're in 2016, I'd like to go ahead and start polling for
timeslots for the new Marketing meeting time frame. I think it's
important that we get this rolling sooner or later, and I think there's
a good number of things we can talk about already.
http://whenisgood.net/fedora/marketing/2016/newmeeting
Please go to the poll and choose the times on the grid that work for
you. Remember to choose your time zone at the top.
Looking forward to getting 2016 Fedora Marketing started!

Have submitted my times, but I did want to mention that these options
look a bit sub-optimal for folks in Europe. A few early morning times
Eastern might be best.

This is true, but mid-afternoon Eastern is sort of kind of less good
among choices that might work for North Americans.

Hi all,
To follow up on this, 22:00 UTC on Wednesdays is looking like the
overwhelmingly preferred time slot for Marketing 2016 meetings. It's
been slow to get this going, but I think we should try to come to an
agreement on an official date at the next Open Floor at a Magazine
editorial meeting (closest thing to Marketing meeting at the moment).
The only people who answered on the poll that this did not work for was
myself and jzb. I'm going to see if I could do minor rearranging on my
schedule as well to make this time slot work.
