Hey everyone!
Today's weekly meeting just came to a close. We made some good progress
on advancing through some of the existing tickets we have open for
retooling Marketing but also identifying some new and exciting goals
too! This was an exciting meeting for me and we went right up to the
full hour for the meeting.
Full minutes and logs are all below. Keep an eye out for more soon –
thanks all!

* It's been a quiet week across the media world for Fedora. No new
articles or coverage of anything this week, but we haven't hit an
exciting period yet as far as press coverage goes. The alpha is just
around the corner, though! (jwf, 14:06:14)

* How This Works: We look at past #action items from the last meeting
for quick follow-up. If a task is completed, we move on to the next

status, we'll try to get a quick update and move forward. (jwf,
14:09:11)

* Picking up on past discussions with regards to retooling ourselves
to being a more effective and productive Marketing Team. New

OSAS from bkp. (jwf, 14:10:42)
* LINK: https://etherpad.net/p/EUYbfXuRGG (jwf, 14:11:56)
* IDEA: Revitalizing press kits: Once upon a time, we had press kits.
Could revisit old press kits, modernize it, and possibly split them
into "target audience" press kits, e.g. Python press kit, Rust press
kit, Design press kit (integrating closely with Labs, maybe???)
(jwf, 14:27:20)
* IDEA: Education approach: Finding a better way to make Fedora more
attractive to an education-minded audience (students, teachers,
professors, faculty, administrators) – maybe a good idea for our
next targeted campaign? (jwf, 14:28:01)

* LINK:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud/Cloud_PRD#User_Profiles.2C_Goals.2C_...
(nirik, 14:31:34)
* IDEA: Fedora Labs are, more or less, already use cases for specific
target audiences of Fedora users - this might be something we can
spend more time looking at and cross-comparing with the user cases /
profiles from the above links (jwf, 14:31:53)
* ACTION: jwf File new ticket for education-focused marketing
campaign, with end goal being to share with Fedora Council at March
22nd sub-project report meeting (jwf, 14:39:34)
* ACTION: bkp (1) Research what our old press kits were, (2) leave
comment in ticket #242 with that info, (3) all marketing team
members encouraged to discuss / give feedback for modernizing press
kits (jwf, 14:40:16)
* === Ticket #245: "Create Fedora 26 talking points" === (jwf,
14:41:38)
* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/245 (jwf, 14:41:43)
* mailga has created the Fedora 26 talking points wiki page, but it
has a lot of trimming and prettying to do, as we discussed. See
bex's comment in the ticket with regards to how we present this
talking points instead by audience instead of by edition. (jwf,
14:41:48)
* LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points
(jwf, 14:41:53)
* IDEA: Separating talking points by AUDIENCE instead of by EDITION or
FEATURESET (jwf, 14:42:08)
* Why do we have talking points? Talking points are the key points we
want to communicate and share with our audience of users (current
and potential) whenever we cut a new Fedora release (jwf, 14:46:46)
* Current Fedora packaging categories: Development and Creative
Workstation, Web Server, Infrastructure Server, Basic Desktop, 3D
Printing, Administration Tools, Ansible node, Audio Production,
Authoring and Publishing, Books and Guides, C Development Tools and
Libraries, Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Management Tools, Container
Management, D Development Tools and Libraries, Design Suite,
Development Tools, Domain Membership, Fedora Eclipse, (jwf,
14:54:56)
* Current Fedora packaging categories: Editors, Educational Software,
Electronic Lab, Engineering and Scientific, FreeIPA Server, Games
and Entertainment, Headless Management, LibreOffice, MATE
Applications, MATE Compiz, Medical Applications, Milkymist, Network
Servers, Office/Productivity, Robotics, RPM Development Tools,
Security Lab, Sound and Video, System Tools, Text-based Internet,
Window Managers (jwf, 14:55:13)
* IDEA: In the interest of time, will instead identify target
audiences by looking at Fedora Labs, then cross-comparing against
the packaging categories above to add more suggestions for audience
as they think is necessary – team can discuss and provide feedback
afterwards (jwf, 15:02:17)
* ACTION: x3mboy Leave comment in ticket #245 for initial list of
"target audiences" based on Fedora Labs, cross-compared with package
categories, to be discussed at the next meeting (jwf, 15:04:29)
* === Ticket #246: "Prepare report for Council sub-project report" ===
(jwf, 15:05:16)
* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/246 (jwf, 15:05:20)
* Marketing is tentatively on the hook for a sub-project update in
March. We'll want to begin mapping out our current status, future
plans, and anything we'd like to request help from the Council on.
Also relevant, see our last sub-project report with croberts on
YouTube as a review. (jwf, 15:05:24)
