'''Discussed in
[https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/marketing/marketing.2016-02-24-22...
2016-02-24 meeting].'''
= What =
It was mentioned during the meeting that it would be helpful and useful
for Ambassadors to have a place to show people / groups examples of other
groups successfully running Fedora on their own infrastructure.
Ideas for this would be companies powering their infrastructure with
Fedora, schools or universities that have Fedora computer labs, and other
similar types of cases.
= How =
The difficult part in accomplishing this is identifying the list of
entities that are using Fedora in applications like this. Would a call for
action be needed, such as on the Magazine / Community Blog? Do we have a
past list like this somewhere?
Once these questions are answered and we have the list, we can ''then''
move on to how we want to publish and publicize the list.

We have discussed about it here
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/commops@lists.fedoraproject...
Joe Brockmeier raised few question such as
1) How are we managing the new accounts?
2) Who has the "keys" to the account?
a) We need more than one person, and ideally folks who are
"accountable" to Fedora. (e.g., Matthew Miller, someone on the council,
etc.)
3) Do we have a plan for managing them? Who's taking responsibility for
that.
If you guys need any help with managing, I can help you with the same

Review Requested: Updated Python Brochure
by Brian Proffitt
As per ticket #219[1], I have updated the Fedora Python brochure to include
more current information. The updates are almost all around content, I left
the design elements pretty much alone.
I would like the group to examine the content and let me know if anything
is wrong or missing. If I could get feedback to me by 1200 EDT (1600 UTC)
Wednesday, March 30 (to allow for the upcoming US and EU holidays), that
would be great.
The pdfs are attached; my apologies for not attaching these files to the
ticket itself; there was a file size limit. Please let me know if posting
them somewhere else will be helpful.
Peace,
Brian

#219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors

Type: task | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 23
Component: Talking Points | Severity: urgent

---------------------------------+------------------------
Originally discussed in a
[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2016-March/019027.html
cross-posted mailing list thread].
= What =
As was identified by mattdm at DevConf CZ (and earlier discussions),
Python, Python developers, and Python communities are a major target
audience for Fedora in 2016. Ambassadors are encouraged to attend and
promote Fedora in these communities and share how Fedora makes working
with Python easier, more effective, etc. However, we are not sending them
out with any documented talking points! Marketing can help with this area.
= How =
We have a limited set of resources from the past we can work with. Ruth
pointed out on the list that there is an existing
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Python_brochure Python brochure]
that was created, but the information on it is old, outdated, and it needs
some touching up.
== Brochure update ==
The solution to this I proposed on the list was:
1. Identify "hot topics" of Python and create a list.
* "What makes Python so great on Fedora?"
* "How is working on Python in Fedora easier than other distros?"
* "What tools and resources does Fedora offer for Python developers?"
* "What kind of support is there for Python developers in the project?"
* "I'm a Python developer and want to help contribute. What can I do to
help?"
2. Submitting a ticket on the Design Team Trac with this info and a
request to update the flyer for distribution in 2016.
== Building our resources ==
Like was mentioned on the list, there are not many resources available
showing or teaching how Fedora is Python-friendly. Perhaps working with
our Infrastructure team to get a list of some of the hottest Python
projects they have and using this as a base is in our interest.
= When =
This is an urgent need. Our Ambassadors either are going out or will be
going out to Python events soon across the world and providing them with
the resources to effectively market Python + Fedora is the first step.
* **Tentative Due Date**: End of March, absolute *latest*
= Open Discussion =
Thoughts, ideas, or ways we can tackle this are welcome. I am intending to
add this ticket to the
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Marketing_meeting_2016-03-02
2016-03-02 Marketing meeting agenda].

emails from the wordpress instance seem to not be working (IIRC, they have
never worked).
we have a feedback form that regularly gets comments, but we only see them
if someone goes into the feedback page in the admin interface.
i am pretty sure wordpress does send an email here, but for some reason
its not working.
it would also be nice to have emails if a new post is created.
cheers,
ryanlerch

It was mentioned in #fedora-mktg today about proposing changes to the
Magazine categories to something a bit more intuitive to readers. With the
advent of the Community Blog, the category of "For contributors" isn't as
useful, and as-is right now, the categories are fairly broad and loosely
defined.
We were wanting to discuss ideas for new, relevant categories that more
accurately target the type of material we're putting out. Ideas mentioned
were…
- Fedora News
- How-To
- Events
And so on. What are your thoughts and ideas on new categories?

I have an idea - maybe others can find it useful. I see lot of useful
printable marketing stuffs, but I would like to have them as a form of
repository, common place - that instead of hunting where can an ambassador
- the most actualized and legally allowed, freely printable marketing
stuff - find.
Basic concept is just have an single address or command (maybe dnf make
eventbox) that actually can create an "Eventbox", like copr, or sync-able
fedorapeople storage.
This way not only can solve problems that what can an ambassador take to
events and print it if necessary, else with this we can help mentors (like
me) to give new ambassadors a starter pack - to be able to have basic
easily printable fedora desk stuff.
To this way I would like to create some easily printable timeless A3 sized
posters, and put into the set some flyers, stickers set and such - but my
question is this:
What would you create to achieve this - and what would you put in this
event box? What would be the "poor man's" eventbox that actually you can
print and run an booth?
Eg. Foldable name plate to the desk, some foldable cd holder with some
artwork, generic foldable cd sleeves....

I'm +1 to something cheeky, but -1 to it being about Microsoft.
I think we'd have to think carefully about about this, but I'm open to
ideas. Even just making the magazine upside-down for the day could be funny
enough without making it about anyone else.

I like the idea though :)
