[Marketing] Feedback needed on Fedora 25 announcements

[Brian Proffitt]

All:

To prepare for the anticipated release of Fedora 25, we have started the
process of drafting the Fedora 25 release announcement and press release.

The release announcement[1] needs the most input. I have based it on the
Fedora 25 beta release announcement and will be going through the document
today to clean up any obvious beta mentions. Members of each workgroup
should focus on:

* Additional features to highlight that were not in the beta announcement
* Important stories that you think this announcement should be telling
* Particular focus on the change from "Cloud" to "Atomic."

The press release is templated from the Fedora 24 press release[2] and will
be revised based on the release announcement.

Therefore, the priority is on the release announcement, and feedback should
be given to that document by close of business (2100 UTC) November 7, 2016.

Thank you,
Brian Proffitt

Hey Brian, thanks for starting this thread. However, I can't see any 
links at the bottom of the email – were they cut off? I'll definitely be 
sure to give them a look before the end-of-day on Nov. 7.

I hope i am not late in this thread.
In Beta announcement couple of i18n must have features were missing.
I have added those features in talking points  [5]  Specifically "*Emoji
input *and *Unicode 9.0*"

I see two future posts in Magazine  -
* Fedora 25 released!
* What’s new in Fedora 25 Workstation

Dont know, i cant view those post but please check whether above features
are covered in it or not.

Thanks,
Pravin

Thanks for adding this feedback, Pravin! I think we discussed this in 
IRC and decided we would edit in the points about emoji input and 
Unicode. We'll be sure to include mention of them for the general 
release announcement. Thanks again!

I am very sorry: footnotes were omitted!

Again, the Release Announcement is the key.

Hi Brian,
there is one major enhancement in Workstation missing and that's much
improved support for switchable graphics cards. That should definitely
make it to the release announcement. More info:
https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2016/11/01/discrete-graphics-and-fedora-
workstation-25/

I think the MP3 decoding support is also big news. The codec is not
part of the default installation, but it's in the repositories and
users can get it without enabling any 3rd party repositories:

ora-workstation-25/
