FLOCK coverage idea

[Ryan Lerch]

Hi all,

After the success that was Jiří's coverage of GUADEC, i have been 
looking at the incoming links from other websites, and it seems that the 
majority of incoming links to his posts were for coverage on a 
particular talk.

So, my idea here would be to do individual posts for each of the talks 
that we are going to cover at FLOCK. This approach will also make it 
easier to assign a specific talk to a writer so we don't have multiple 
people covering the same talk.

I have created a draft wikipage here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/FlockCoverageOnFMAG

to track who will be covering what.

I have also added a few guidelines for the content at the top, but this 
is really just me throwing out a few ideas, so feel free to change / 
remove anything from there.

Also, do we want to prefix (or postfix) each post title with a tagline 
(maybe "[FLOCK 2014]:") or something so its clear what the post is about?

cheers,
ryanlerch

I'm not going to Flock, so I can take a look to this page; but what do 
you think about spreading the page to others ML, so people can add 
themselves to the list? 
How can we treat people that want covering the same talks?

Hi Ryan (from CZ!),

I talked to the Fedora Engineering team at dinner, to get their help with
these stories. I've also passed them the wiki link. I imagine with almost a
dozen of us here, there would be a significant number of talks we could
help cover. I'm not sure yet how many I'll personally make it to but I'll
try to help as well.

I am planning to live transcribe => blog any talks I can attend 
remotely via video. But I haven't seen any details about video streams 
:(

Oh haha! I spoke too soon:

I will blog this tonight so remotees know it's there.

Hey,

I filled the wiki page out with all of Wednesday's talks (if anybody 
can jump in and fill in another day, please do :) )

I signed up for 4 talks I'm most sure I'll be able to transcribe live 
and then blog about. I'm willing to work on non-live talks based on the 
video recordings after the fact if we don't have anyone covering them 
and they are deemed priority.

As promised, I also put together a guide for remotees wanting to attend 
in a post in my blog here:
http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2014/08/05/guide-to-attending-flock-virtually-d...

I can do this for each of the days. It was easier to slap it up on my 
blog since I already had the graphics ready.

How do we feel about combining a few talks into one post?

I attended the keynote, a talk on QA and a talk on Copr so far today.
Already wrote up the keynote, but not sure I'm going to get a full post
out of the QA talk. Any strong objections to doing a post that looks at
more than one talk?

Best,

I think combining them if they're related makes sense, but it's better to
not combine QA and Coprs even if each result is short. (Headline the QA talk
with the quote about Rawhide bugs _probably_ not being a demonic hand
reaching out of the monitor to strangle you?)

I must have missed that bit. I was thinking if we combine coverage we
might draw more attention to talks than shorter individual posts, but
whatever.

Any help spreading this channel is appreciated as this year's live streaming
is amazing. I'm going to add Fri/Sat talks to the channel later today. So we
can add links + talk screenshot to every post.

I did combos last year.... basically I did a brief synopsis for every 
talk, one blog post per day. Got really good coverage and every post got 
LWN coverage.

FWIW

See:

https://lwn.net/Articles/563213/

Day One:

http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2013/08/10/fedora-flock-recap-day-1/

Day Two:

http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2013/08/11/fedora-flock-recap-day-2/

Day Three:

http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2013/08/11/fedora-flock-recap-day-3/

I was thinking something a bit more conversational, but that'd be a nice
format if someone wanted to replicate it.
