a fedora.next marketing question
by Matthew Miller
Okay, so, there is a rather big fork in the road ahead of us. I mean, not
that we can't take one path and then find out if its wrong, but, better not
to. That is: part of the Fedora.next process has been working on going from
the "default offering" to three distinct Fedora products -- Cloud, Server,
Workstation.
Three is a magic number, of course. It's a natural split, and it's kind of
easy to see how promotion and the web site would work with that. There is a
discussion now about possible procedures for creating more in the future:
see <https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1197>.
There are basically two camps. Well, there's a third -- that we should have
no default anything and that we should just be a (well-made) source of
building supplies -- but I'm pretty strongly sold on at least offering
*kits* for our users. So, the two camps are basically:
* "High bar, need to show a distinct problem space". The three initial
products are basically all areas we want to cover, and they don't really
overlap. This approach says that for a new primary product to be added,
there should be a new, separate problem space to tackle -- there
shouldn't be internal competition, and users should easily find the
product that matches their needs without going through a "choose your
own adventure!" process.
* "Low bar, need to show viable resources to do the work". The idea here
is that if someone wants to contribute to working on something in
Fedora, and can demonstrate that they can pull it off, we should
promote it. I think this camp recognizes that it makes the web site
more complicated, but judges supporting our contributors to be more
important.
So, marketing team people: what do you think? Which is the right general
approach? If we do the second thing, does it dilute our ability to deliver
the Fedora Message? How can we overcome that? Other questions? Other
answers?
Thanks!

marketing group request still unapproved
by Mohan Prakash
I seem to have missed out something for which my marketing group
request status still reads unapproved.
Could you please suggest what is missing?
I have done the following as per the guidelines:
Joined the mailing list and introduced myself .
Registered in the Fedora Account System , and completed the FPCA.
Joined the 'marketing' group in the Account System .
The concerned page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Joining_the_Fedora_marketing_project
says :
''This makes you an official member of the Marketing project.''
However my status still reads unapproved.
thanks

Proposal for posting in Fedora Magazine
by Marcel Ribeiro Dantas
Hello guys,
During the meeting today we started discussing about the possibility of
this blog post[0] to be posted in Fedora Magazine. Apart from that,
regardless of deciding to post it or not, should we consider updating the
Magazine with this sort of content?
If you think I should change something, I'm ok with that. Let's discuss so
that we have the best approach possible to make sure people will understand
what is happening with these projects :-)
