Thanks for the heads-up, Paul - ooh, video spotlights! I'm curious to see those.
As a side note, for the next release, we might want to try merging the F13 version of the calendar above and the F13 version of http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-marketing-tasks.html (the marketing task timeline the Fedora Marketing team came up with at the start of the cycle), so we have all the F13 Marketing/PR dates on one page; I wonder if that will make it easier for Fedora Marketing and Red Hat PR/Marketing to help each other out on this.
We can figure whether this will work during F13 planning meetings, this is just a heads-up that it's something likely to hit the agenda at some point after the craziness from this cycle is over.
