Marketing Infrastructure projects, update 2009-12-15

[Mel Chua]

Since a substantial portion of what Marketing is working on between now 
and Alpha (March 2) is getting infrastructure/tools up so we can do our 
work efficiently for the rest of the cycle, here's a quick update on our 
two big marketing-related infrastructure projects, also sent to 
Logistics for cross-team goodness (and mayyybe packaging help? maybe?).

Project 1: Zikula

This is for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight (which 
includes FWN, and will be largely reusable for Docs), and progress is 
being tracked on the logistics list, 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics.

We are currently (still) on publictest6. We want to have soft-launched 
on production by Alpha (March 3).

Simon has an overview of the remaining work that needs to be done before 
we can be puppetized 
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000303.html). 
He's also updated the "how to set up a zikula sandbox" instructions, 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_Zikula_sandbox.

We are blocked by final fixes to the theme (design/CSS help needed!) 
which will then need to be packaged, as well as licensing issues with 
Scribite 
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000301.html) 
but it looks like the interaction between Fedora and Zikula folks is 
beginning to snowball 
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000302.h.... 
I'd like to see if we can get packagers + upstream on IRC at the same 
time to just Work Out these licensing issues at one go, because asynch 
communication is Very Slow.

After those blockers are out, I *think* we'll be go for puppetizing.

Project 2: Limesurvey

This is for 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_research#Infrastructure, and 
seems like it should be relatively straightforward (but then again, 
that's what I thought for zikula...) Robyn Bergeron and Ryan Rix are 
driving this from the Marketing side of things, but I'm temporarily 
stepping in for Ryan since he's afk for exams this week.

As far as I know, there's only one package involved in this (limesurvey) 
which is still under review 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508817). It *sounds* from 
the comments like it should be done and ready for approval, but a 
reviewer (*coughIancough* is needed).

In the meantime, I tried installing the latest SRPM from Eric (Sparks) 
on pt6, and failboated, details here: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_limesurvey_sandbox#Install.... 
Once the package is approved and installed on pt6, I *think* that's all 
we'll need (we might want to change the logo, but that's trivial and I 
really can't think of anything else atm).

In the meantime-meantime, because we need to get the FUDCon survey up 
yesterday, we're giving limeservice $10 to host a 250-response survey 
for us so we can start administering that survey tomorrow. That means 
we'll have a db ready to migrate whenever our limesurvey instance goes 
up, plus people with familiarity administering limesurvey software via 
the web interface (some of us, myself included, have used it before and 
know the rudiments).

Questions? Comments? Am I missing something? (Is this helpful?)
