Fedora 12 tour
by Paul W. Frields 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Before we embark on Yet Another Wiki Page, I wanted to get some consensus on whether we need an additional [[Fedora 12 Tour]] page. Currently we have a (soon to be) screenshot-filled one-page release notes page that is supposed to serve the function of introducing novices to all the great features of release, and the basics of Fedora in general and Fedora 12. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes The new document includes pretty much everything I see in the old [[Fedora 11 tour]] page, including links to the in-depth feature profiles, overview, talking points, and so forth. It seems to me an additional tour page is unnecessary. I just want to voice my opinion, and if there's general agreement, we can knock that off the release deliverables page in favor of the new standard of a meaningful one-page release notes document. -- Paul W.

Meeting minutes, 2009-11-17
by Mel Chua 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Logs at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings#2009. Many thanks to everyone for all their hard work during the F12 cycle! From Paul: "Thank you to *everyone* on the Marketing team for all the hard work you did for this release. It's one of the best we've had, IMHO, from the standpoint of interested, energetic people helping with marketing content and tasks. The one-page release notes are stunning, the interviews were great, the interaction with other teams was phenomenal, and I want to say from the bottom of my heart, again -- thank you all! You help make Fedora the special community it is :-)" (This was immediately followed by much +1-ing, cheering, and celebrating by those present.) Next week's meeting will be a sprint to make Fedora case studies; Sakis is leading us and will let us know what we need to do to prepare. F12 press looks *awesome.* We will continue to monitor F12 press with the [in the news] tag on this mailing list; Robyn is also making a press page on the wiki for us to collect them in a somewhat easier to read format. Also, looking forward to F13: we've set December 8th's meeting as our Big "What Are We Doing?" planning session, which gives us 3 weeks to do all sorts of experimentation, brainstorming, talking on IRC, phone calls, in-person meetups (at FUDCon and beyond). We'll then get all the ideas we like written up - probably on the wiki - and do the final round of target-setting for F13 on 12/8. The intent is to make sure that everyone (regardless of whether they can make FUDCon or not, or make that IRC time or not, etc.) gets a (more) equal chance to put their cool "I'm going to do *this!*" Marketing plans forth. So keep those ideas coming! Probably the best way to do this is to open a new ticket (https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/newticket - FAS login needed) and set the milestone to "future releases" but we'll do a nice sweep before 12/8 and catch everything we can.

DesktopLinux.com -- eWeek 11.17.09 Mint 8 achieves RC1, and Fedora 12 goes final By Eric Brown The Fedora Project has released the final version 12 of its Red Hat-related Linux distribution. As we reported when we covered the _beta release_ <http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4472675809.html> of Fedora 12 ("Constantine") last month, the new release is notable for offering speed optimizations for i686 CPUs and the Intel Atom. The latest version also provides IPv6 support, plus enhanced Bluetooth, virtualization, multimedia, and power management features (see our previous story for more details).

Tour wiki fix
by Paul W. Frields 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

I redirected the [[Fedora 12 tour]] page to point to the [[Fedora 12 one page release notes]] page. This is a much better landing spot for people clicking on the main fp.o page and looking for highlights of releases. (The original redirect destination was the in-depth feature category, which is not as attractive or helpful IMHO.) Hope this works for everyone? -- Paul W.
