Marketing FAD agenda - part-timers, let us know when you'll be coming!
by Mel Chua 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hullo! You're getting this email because you're either (or both): 1. on the Fedora Marketing mailing list 2. listed as a local Raleigh denizen joining us for the FAD at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Attendees We finalized the FAD schedule yesterday, so locals can now take a look and see when they'd like to drop by (you're welcome, of course, to stay for the entire thing, or as much of it as you'd like - Max is doing it. ;) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Agenda Saturday: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Day_1_.28Saturday.2C_Marc… Sunday: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Day_2_.28Sunday.2C_March_… Monday: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Day_3_.28Monday.2C_March_… Tuesday: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Day_4_.28Tuesday.2C_March… If you haven't already introduced yourselves to the Fedora Marketing list, so the other folks coming to the FAD will know who you are, please take a moment and email marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org (cc'd on this email, so reply-all will work) with a few lines about yourself and what you're interested in doing this weekend, what you'll be bringing to the table, and when we might expect you to drop by (so we don't, say, eat all the pizza before you get here. ;) Our mailing list is here (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing) and the sorts of things we usually put in our introductions are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Introduce_yourself_to_the_marketing_group If you'd like to join the Fedora Marketing team (recommended, to get a sense of the rhythm you'll be tapping into at the FAD), the only other thing you need to do after sending your introduction email is creating a FAS (Fedora) account. This will also give you wiki editing privs, which will come in handy during the FAD. Instructions are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Joining_the_Fedora_marketing_project#Getting… I do believe that's all - please ask if you have any questions, and forward to any other local folks you think might be interested in joining us! --Mel

Jonathan Nalley: Self-Introduction
by Jonathan Nalley 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

My name is Jonathan Nalley and i've been actively using/working with Fedora since Fedora 9. I live in Greenville, SC USA. I'm a Systems Engineer in the Systems Architecture department at NuVox: a CLEC and other IT-ish services provider. My goal in the project initially would be to assist Matías Kreder and the few others helping out with the Fedora twitter account. I've already been in touch with Matías and he's set me up with access to the account. I'll be perusing noteworthy items from the Fedora Weekly News, this mailing list and other sources in an effort to flagrantly promote and evangelize Fedora to the unwashed masses as well as those who want to stay up to date about the project. I would be interested in other opportunities in the Marketing group as they match my skill set and as my time permits. I currently run the social media outreach for the Southeast Linuxfest (southeastlinuxfest.org) and i've been using Twitter since December 2006.

Meeting location moved to #fedora-mktg (NOT #fedora-meeting)
by Mel Chua 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Rationale: 1. FESCo needs our timeslot in #fedora-meeting... 2. ...and we're all in #fedora-mktg anyway. They'll be keeping an eye out for people who wander in for the Marketing meeting for a bit, and I've just updated the wiki documentation on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings#Meeting_details and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting_channel#Time_table. See you folks there tomorrow. --Mel

Marketing FAD housing booked, budget closed
by Mel Chua 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

For those attending the FAD who do not normally reside in Raleigh: See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Housing. We will be staying at: Best Western Cary Inn And Extended Stay 1722 Walnut Street Cary, NC 27511 US It's a pretty comfy-looking place; I just checked out the rooms and am now sitting in the lobby right now trying to recognize the classical music they have piping in over the floral-patterned stuffed armchairs. They have breakfast, wifi, fitness center, yada yada yada... and it's 5 miles from the Red Hat office, which makes our commute absolutely lovely. Four nonsmoking double rooms have been booked, see roommate pairings below. The room was booked under the name of the roommate I thought was likely to arrive first. In other news... $1622.54 planefare $1270.32 housing $118.00 other ------------------ $3010.86 total out of ~$3k budget ...we are now done with budget. YAY! (Well, I get to file receipts, and Max gets to approve them, but y'all are set.) --Mel

FAD schedule and to-do prep list: put it here!
by Mel Chua 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

As per Ryan's excellent email the other day reminding us that we need to get our FAD agenda in order, I've braindumped some sample schedules/deliverables into each of the 4 days of our FAD schedule. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Agenda They're all strawmen, so feel free to edit/delete/revise/critique as you will, the final schedule will be ultimately set by each day's owner. One part that's missing from each is "what prep would we need to do before now and March 13 in order to be able to have this schedule at the FAD?" Tuesday's meeting is going to set our schedule and our to-prep list, so get those ideas going (here and/or on the wiki page)! --Mel PS: Those of you working on projects, think about how the FAD can move them forward - find the day you think your project fits best into, and put your project in a space in that schedule and describe what you want us to use the time for - basically, convince the FAD day owner to incorporate it into the schedule. ;)
