Fedora 12 tour
by Paul W. Frields
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.

Meeting minutes, 2009-11-17

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.
Minutes below.

Tour wiki fix
by Paul W. Frields
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?
