'''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

Marketing-trac: #219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors

#219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors
---------------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: jflory7 | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 23
Component: Talking Points | Severity: urgent
Keywords: python, nextmeeting | Blocked By:

---------------------------------+------------------------
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].

[Pitch] Single sign-on improvements in Fedora 24 article
by Alexander Bokovoy
Hi,
For those who don't know me, I'm Alexander Bokovoy, working for Red Hat
on FreeIPA, Samba, SSSD and other projects -- mostly on the server side
but since last year I run an effort to get desktop side improved as
well.
I've created a pitch for the article for Fedora Magazine to highlight
our effort between FreeIPA and Red Hat desktop teams to improve GNOME
3.20 use in enterprise environments.
With Fedora 24 beta we'll have first user-visible results of this
cooperation that allow single sign-on use of user credentials when
Fedora 24 GNOME Desktop is enrolled to FreeIPA or Active Directory
environments.
The article is going to walk through the enabled features and would
point to few external resources that describe how to setup some of
server and client side for the single sign-on access.
The content will be based on my talks done at devconf.cz and FOSDEM
2016.
The pitch link is:

Cantarell article
by Sylvia Sánchez
Hi everyone!
I added some stuff to the article, and now I'm going to contact the
maintainers so I can write a proper article about this. Later on, I'll add
some screenshots.
I'm sorry I couldn't do it earlier.
Cheers,
Sylvia

Suggestion about Magazine
by Sylvia Sánchez
Hi all!
I just realised that despite being Wordpress there's no option to share
Fedora Magazine articles with Wordpress. Nor like it using WP neither.
I think it would be nice if those options would be available. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Sylvia

Correct. This *was* decided, and then a question was raised. I don't
want to second-guess the second-guessing, because it was
well-intentioned and we're all communicating in like 15 different venues
and ... ugh. Communication is hard, kids.
I agree with Dusty's post earlier, I think we should stick with the
message that we are doing away with 32-bit cloud images irrespective of
other 32-bit images/etc. We don't at the moment have the resources, or
frankly interest, in doing much with 32-bit x86 cloud images.
I'm CC'ing Dennis directly in case cloud@ and marketing@ are not on his
"read immediately" list. :-)
WG folks: Please respond with a +1 or -1. Other votes welcome too.
Alternate proposals welcomed, but we should move quickly. Happy Friday.
