Fwd: Call for Fedora 13 Test Days
by Mel Chua 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

I am tempted to submit test days for Fedora Insight ("can you submit an article through the workflow?" and "how usable/readable is the interface?"), and for Limesurvey ("can you figure out how to create a survey?") Hollering out for an initial "does this sound like a reasonable idea?" gauge - if there were such a Test Day, held during a time window you could attend, would you probably come test for an hour or so? Would you be interested in helping to organize/run one? I'm not going to hold anyone to this, just getting a handle on the interest in both areas might be. --Mel -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Fedora 13 Test Days Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:42:58 -0800 From: Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> Reply-To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases <test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Organization: Red Hat To: devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hi, folks. It's about time we kicked the Fedora 13 Test Day cycle into gear! For those who haven't had experience yet with the Test Day concept, here's an overview: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days and here's the Fedora 12 Test Day schedule, so you can see what a completed cycle looks like: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_12_test_days This is a call for anyone who's got an idea for a Test Day for Fedora 13 to submit a request. The Test Day process is very flexible. We usually run a track of 'official' QA group Test Days on Thursdays, but the process can be used in different ways. A Test Day can be owned and organized by another group, run on a different day and promoted in whatever way the group feels appropriate. You can help to organize a Test Day that's promoted under the auspices of QA, or you can submit an idea for a Test Day and ask us to do almost all the organization work for you. So if you have any kind of Test Day idea, please don't hold back, send it in! To propose a Test Day, follow the guide: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . It's really short and easy. If even that is too much, though, please feel free to just email the QA list (test@) or me personally, and we'll help guide you through the process. Just for reference, here's the ideas we have already for the F13 cycle: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:QA/Fedora_13_test_days Now dazzle us with your ideas!

For strategic "let us figure out SEO-friendly URLs" stuff, #fedora-mktg seems like the right place to me, yes. Logistics remains the central focal point for all things zikula and should be copied on all updates, but we'll continue frequently swinging out to other groups/lists to ask for help and resources as we need them. Marketing folks: for context on what we're talking about, see the 4th paragraph of http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2010-January/000327.html. Basically, Keiran is coming up with a short URL system for Fedora Insight that's going to be SEO-friendly; suggestions/feedback welcome in case folks have any thoughts as he goes along. --Mel

Self-Introduction: Heherson Pagcaliwagan
by Heherson Pagcaliwagan 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

For a long time I have been subscribed to this list and I just recently decided to formally chip in to Marketing. Please take care of me. :) I'm from Quezon City, Philippines, a Filipino Ambassador, Bugzapper and FreeMedia team member. I'm a sysad by profession though I'm public administrator by training. I'm interested in technology, business and education. My Marketing background involves marketing for previous student organizations, internship at the Philippine Board of Investments (for EMEA), and helping out on our annual Software Freedom Day celebrations. Some other things about me: I'm a passable writer, relatively good speaker (in small groups) and very good in meetings (especially if snacks are available). I'm now almost two years with Fedora Project and I still feel I'm a newbie. :) -- Heherson Pagcaliwagan http://project.azneita.org +63.908.885.5428

FAD and stuff... Time for planning!
by Ryan Rix 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hey all, The topic of next week's Marketing meeting is *finalizing* the Marketing FAD schedule. This means that we need to get some stuff done before that meeting to make things extra super easy for next Tuesday :) So, I talked to Mel, here's what we need to do, for each day... (1) a well specified deliverable (or deliverables) (2) a list of resources (materials, people, skills) required to complete that deliverable (3) a to-do list on what's needed to prepare those resources before the FAD (4) milestones/time-blocks during the day (such as "9-10am brainstorm on $foo, 10-11:30am split into groups and get photographs $bar and $baz taken") etc. so that part-timers can figure out when they need to be available (5) owners of as many tasks as possible (6) milestones for prep between now and FAD-time, if the complexity of prep is needed Robyn, someone to own day 2 (i can if no one else steps up, i guess), Max, Henrik, please take over this thread and answer each question to the best of your ability. :-) There are also the out-of-sync things that we may want to do at the FAD, that may or may not end with specific deliverables, but we may end up wanting anyways :) They should be considered in planning. Things like my personal crusade, marketing materials and SOPs for Spins, and a quick how-to-package- rpms hackfest to get those of us in attendance without such skills up to speed. Please throw others in here, and also add them to the wiki under Business. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Business Have a good time :-) -- Ryan Rix Fedora KDE SIG Member, Phoenix AZ Ambassador, News KDE Beat writer New Mail address: phrkonaleash(a)gmail.com -> ry(a)n.rix.si !! http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://identi.ca/phrkonaleash XMPP: phrkonaleash(a)gmail.com | MSN: phrkonaleash(a)yahoo.com AIM: phrkonaleash | Yahoo: phrkonaleash IRC: PhrkOnLsh(a)irc.freenode.net/#srcedit,#plugaz,#fedora-kde and countless other FOSS channels.

Marketing FAD
by Susan Lauber 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi I'm Susan and I have been lurking here for a while - mainly as a Docs person to help with release announcements and notes but some of you may remember me answering wiki gardening questions. I am local to Raleigh (about 45 miles from RH) so I am thinking about attending at least part of the Marketing FAD. I am an Ambassador so I should be able to contribute to event ideas and as I already mentioned, I am a member of the Docs team so I am also interested in the progress of Zikula. Really though, I just want to meet people and socialize :) Unfortunately once I had added my name to the wiki as tenative and Mel started prodding, I realized that I might be in Boston that weekend. Too soon to tell at the moment. Susan -- Susan Lauber, (RHCX, RHCA, RHCSS) Lauber System Solutions, Inc. http://www.laubersolutions.com gpg: 15AC F794 A3D9 64D1 D9CE 4C26 EFC3 11C2 BFA1 0974

Meeting minutes 2010-01-19
by Mel Chua 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Two notes before the notes begin... First, this week's meeting (and the past few, really) have been sort of standard boring status update meetings. Let's change that. ;) Next week's meeting is going to be a sprint for the FAD - by the end of next week's meeting we should be able to publish (on Planet, etc.) a "here is what we will be doing during the FAD" thing, a "how you can help" thing, and a "here's what needs to be done to make that possible" thing. More prep-fu going out over this list as the week goes by. Second, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Questions was one link that didn't make it into the meeting logs, but Henrik has some question to tackle for the FAD here. ==================== #fedora-mktg Meeting ==================== Meeting started by mchua at 20:04:57 UTC.

Marketing FAD Questions
by wonderer 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hy, I just put another point to the wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Questions where I think could be questions collected. This maybe for the example if we have some RH guys around (hopefully) or on a specific day 1-4 or to a specific agenda-point. So, we all could prepare a little bit better. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonderer(a)fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0
