Fwd: Re: [in the news] Virtualisation Enhancements in F12
by Mel Chua
Amit,
We've been admiring your article in Fedora Marketing - do you happen to
know whether it's released under an open license (or if it'd be possible
to do so, or at least to allow reprints)?
Thanks!

Not sure on the license - I didn't upload it.
It would be awesome to also find out if the publisher allows reprints
(in the event the article is not appropriately licensed).

Fwd: [Ambassadors] DIY booklets for better info delivery
by Mel Chua
IRC convo in #fedora-mktg, and (immediately afterwards) Justin's
resulting email to Ambassadors; good example of how Ambassadors and
Marketing can work together.
---
18:20:59 < Southern_Gentlem> a trifold brochure explaining the fedora
project and a f13 features i am guessing
18:21:21 < mchua> Southern_Gentlem: would that be something like
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes but laid
out in trifold brochure form?
18:21:39 < Southern_Gentlem> something easily to make and hand out to
people at events and othewise
18:22:01 < Southern_Gentlem> mchua, thats something we can discuss in
the FAD
18:22:42 < mchua> Southern_Gentlem: pop it on the wiki page so we can
make sure it's on the agneda
18:22:44 < mchua> er, agenda
18:23:15 < mchua> My guess is that we'll be doing a hard look at the
deliverables we produce and whether they're the right ones, so that fits
right in.
18:24:32 < threethirty> why couldnt that be a DIY thing? get the artwork
team to make a cool looking PDF and then someone (somepeople) could
just print them
18:24:45 < threethirty> it would be like the free media thing
18:25:45 < mchua> Yeah, there's a distinction between
18:25:57 < mchua> (1) media the Marketing team *must* make each release,
and needs to be directly responsible for
18:26:01 < mchua> (for instance, talking points)
18:26:04 < mchua> s/media/deliverables
18:26:29 < mchua> (2) deliverables that could be made each release, but
which the Marketing team doesn't need to be directly responsible
for (i.e. "if someone wants to make it, great, if not, ok")
18:26:52 < mchua> similarly, I don't think there's anything the
Marketing team needs to *physically* produce.
18:27:33 < mchua> the way I'd see it is that if an Ambassador wants
media to take to an event, they would ask their regional Ambassador
coordinators for budget and coordinate the physical production of the
digital materials produced by Marketing and Design.
18:27:53 * inode0 agrees
18:28:13 < mchua> Southern_Gentlem, threethirty: does this make sense? I
do think you're right and that this needs to be brought up / clarified
at the FAD or earlier
18:28:36 < mchua> threethirty: and your analogy to Free Media is right on.
18:29:08 < inode0> I want marketing to help generate great content,
ambassadors can do the production itself
18:29:53 < inode0> which might just be saying x, y, and z should be added
18:30:43 < Southern_Gentlem> mchua, link to the FAD page please
18:31:05 < threethirty> i really just want a wiki page with cool stuff
that you can download, print (or have printed), assemble, and
distribute, im working on a way to "screen" discs using stencils and
spraypaint
18:32:29 < mchua> Southern_Gentlem:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010
18:32:51 < inode0> threethirty: I don't see any reason you can't just do
that
18:34:44 < threethirty> inode0 which that :)
18:35:49 < inode0> create a wiki page and run with it
18:36:10 < threethirty> alrighty can do

From: Justin O'Brien <three(a)threethirty.us>
Reply-To: fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com

Howdy all:
I had this crazy idea of taking the idea of a 'zine and making it a
useful tool for Ambassadors [and anyone else for that matter but I'm an
Ambassador and short sighted :)]. These could be implemented at no cost
to RHT/Fedora and could be done for fairly cheap (I think).
Ok Idea #1 is a booklet that I have hacked up a [terrible] alpha quality
version of http://dl.dropbox.com/u/194299/Fedora%20Booklet.tar.bz2 The
idea is we make a quick intro guide to Free Software and the fedora
project. I was thinking 8-12 pages printed on US Legal sized paper
[8.5x14 (to allow for a nice full page to read from)] that was basically
a subset of the wikipedia article on Free Software (so that it was
neutral sounding) and most of the Overview wiki page.
Yes I know its on-line so why print it, well because people are lazy.
Wiki's are great because they have a lot of information. Wiki's are
also a PITA because they have a lot of information :)
Another thing that could be done with this is as you are stapling it you
could take a paper cd/dvd sleeve and add it to the mix, that way there
was one thing to hand people.
Idea #2 is an "Ambassadors Field Guide" basically the same idea but
would have a list of FAQ's and answers, a near total list of contacts
for every sub project (I know this isn't totally feasible but I can
dream can't I), the talking points for $currentRealease and
$nextRealease, and anything else we can come up with that would be
helpful to have in hand when we are talking to people.
I think Idea #2 is absolutely suited to the DIY 'zine format because if
you destroy it carting it around in your back pocket you can just print
another one.
I know that anyone person could make both of these happen but I was
hoping to pool the knowledge of others and hopefully get the art team
involved so these could be a nice looking as possible.

FI content workflow
by Mel Chua
I tried drafting out an ascii version of the workflow I saw being tossed
around at FUDCon - thoughts? Is this accurate? Workable? It's pretty simple.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight#Content_workflow
(I'm not sure if I'm using the word "workflow" in the same way that FWN
uses it - if there's another word I should use instead, or some way this
diagram ought to be revised, please ping - or edit the wiki version. ;)

Re: Fedora-tour idea

Advocatus diaboli would say on slashdot, via Matt Asay: "See, Red Hat wants
to abuse poor little users for free testing" what would you counter to sth
like that?
FTR - I love the idea, but I want it to be perfect ;-)

05:19:30 <PhrkOnLsh> If jrandom comes into #fedora saying "hey i just

05:20:31 <PhrkOnLsh> mchua: hmm :)
05:20:36 <mchua> When you install Fedora from scratch, it prompts you at
the end if you want to submit your smolt profile.
05:20:42 <mchua> If you say yes, it automagically ships it off.
05:20:54 <mchua> But what if - in Fedora-tour, or something - by the
little "contribute" section, it went a bit further?
05:21:08 <mchua> And said "hey, here are some things we'd love for you
to check, and see if they work - try doing X, Y, Z"
05:21:42 <mchua> and then a few minutes later, "congratulations you just
submitted your first test case! now go see where it went, and who's
going to pick it up from there..."
05:21:52 <rbergeron> oh, that'd be interesting.

Meeting minutes 2010-01-05
by Mel Chua
First meeting of the year!
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-01-05/fedora-meeting...
- also available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings#2010
If you look at the minutes, you'll see we nailed down the FAD - it's to
be a 4-day festival of Marketing glory in Raleigh in mid-March. Check
the notes for details; we #info'd the high-level points.
Also, as I noted during the meeting: I will be wearing my Project
Management hat in Marketing a lot to push Fedora Insight through in the
next month (so we can finish it already, and move the tech part to
Websites) meaning I won't be able to spend much time on the strategic
thinking stuff until then - so *thank you* to everyone for stepping up
and driving the discussion on social media, PR, and the like, and please
continue to do so!
