Talking Points
by Jaroslav Reznik 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi, as I mentioned it today on docs meeting - there was agreement with marketing, that docs team is going to write the announcement and it will be polished/"marketized" by marketing team. But we still have Talking Points - current SOP says, marketing team is owner [1]. As it's going to be heavily based on the RN and the announcement (or vice versa), it would make sense to be written by docs team too. Are you, as a team, ok with it? >From Ambassador POV it's a nice idea to have a list of Features we can talk about. Also in cooperation with Design team (task for marketing probably) nice flyers/posters could be produced. (Don't want to cross-post too many lists, I'll ask both Design and Ambassadors teams). Other idea is to avoid tech journalists to use the raw Features list (but as Robyn pointed out on the previous marketing list thread, they probably won't...) but use something "more suitable for media" that really features Features ;-) Currently F18 Talking Points are poor orphans...

Talking points & Features
by Jaroslav Reznik 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi! As there's a huge discussion regarding what Features should be and how Features influences marketing - let's take a look back on the what we can do there. Initial idea of Features as far as I understand was to help marketing, now it's definitely more internal tracking tool for the development and probably should not be used by tech journalist etc. as it's frequently updated, could be out of sync with what's really in release some times and of course, Feature pages usually provide too much technical details to be used as a base for a good article. Also I'd like to avoid limiting number of Features for development because of marketing. Well, we have Talking Points, we have Beats, also Announcement picks up most important features in a less technical way. Could we do more from PR? To offer tech journalists something more pre- prepared - to avoid a lot of confusion, FUDs etc.? It's also very close to Announcements itself. We should definitely fill-in F18 Talking Points [1] based on release announcements - not sure it makes sense to fill it in before Alpha/ Beta but for final, yep. It should also serve as a good source for Final announcement. Who's usually responsible for Talking points here? Btw. reminder - Final announcement should be based on schedule written during the Christmas holidays - I'd say the right time should be before - so I'd like to ask marketing to start working on the TP/announcement. Thanks Jaroslav [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_talking_points

by Bogomil "Bogo" Shopov (Fedora Project) 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Good morning guys, As I promised I am sending more info about the project: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bogomil/I_am_18 I just have 2 questions: 0. - I will need a hosting if we want this hosted on our infrastructure - (PHP, SQL, PHPMyAdmin) 1. I will need some design help - how we can involve the design group in this? Procedure: ---------------------- 1. Users will have a tiny submission interface where they have to fill the URL of the picture and to choose the category. 2. There will be a tiny administrative interface for approving the pictures 3. Once they are approved will be shown on the campaign page. //Bogo -- Bogomil "Bogo" Shopov Open(Web) Thinker and doer. http://talkweb.eu ++ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -- Nelson Mandela

In fact everyone should share all these kind of posts on their social networking sites in order to make Fedora's presence felt. I have one question that why is Fedora not having a fan page on facebook?certainly that will help increasing Fedora planet's reach over closed Fedora community and users groups because the "only" page[1] which exists does not posts anything. It will increase the Fedora's reach for sure.But to my surprise Ubuntu has more than dozens of pages which are quite active. Hoping to see the same in Fedora community.
