Here's a quick brain dump, in convenient paste-in-a-wiki format :) ...

* Talking points for the release
** Develop these from the start of the Feature process
** Add some features as they are accepted
** Used to guide press discussions
** Can be l10nized
** Coordinate with Fedora Project Leader
* Guiding the regional localized [[Release announcements]]
** These '''are not''' translations/transliterations of a fixed
announcement
** These '''are''' a set of tight paragraphs (3 to 5), easy to
understand and translate
** These '''are''' available for regional people/Ambassadors to
use when writing their own, from scratch, regional/locale/cultural/etc. specific release
announcement
** Coordinate with the [[Docs Project]], who have the expertise in writing for
translation
* Getting someone to write the whimsical, English, main release announcement
** We have tried to get one person to write from a given or generated idea
** We've looked for someone new each release, esp. hard working writers who
haven't done it before
** May draw writer from [[Docs Project]] or other teams
** The Fedora Project Leader ([[User:Pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] currently) has final pass
on the announcement and should be in the loop along the way
* Release overview?
** Not clearly been owned by anyone in the past
** FPL usually writes it working with Docs
** At least needs to be tracked by Marketing
* Presentation production and maintenance?
** No one has yet owned talk/presentation standards
** Standard template + multiple standard presentations
** Timeless and version-specific
** Work with Ambassadors and L10n
*** Make available in multiple languages
* Video
** Work with Red Hat's video team when we have integration points
** Define whatever central video repo Fedora (TV) is going to have
*** Maintain that repo?

Also, hunting through the history of the Marketing tasks page was
helpful in reconstructing memory, for example:
