Fedora 12 Marketing Schedule Review

[John Poelstra]

Hi Marketing People,

I recently came across 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_F12_schedule .  I would like to 
add all the good information you have there to the master Fedora 
schedule we have for all the teams. 
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/  To do this we also 
need to add real dates for all of the TBD items, etc.

The advantage of this approach is that you won't have to recreate a new 
wiki page for each release and new schedules can be generated 
automatically.  We can also create iCal versions of the schedule for 
importing to online calendars.

To accomplish all this we've found it works best to use use Gobby and 
FedoraTalk to discuss and clarify everything in real time.  Other 
methods can work, but I have yet to see them work in a reasonably 
efficient way.

I've set up a calendar http://whenisgood.net/marketing

Please indicate the times you are available and add your name.  Once we 
get enough responses I'll send out another email with the time to meet. 
  I'd like to meet w/in the next week.

Thanks,
John

Mel, would you be kind enough to take charge of making this meeting 
happen?  High priority, since we definitely want to make sure that F12's 
schedule and Fedora Marketing's schedule are in sync.

Thanks,
Max

I'm tracking the available times for people using 
http://whenisgood.net/marketing

Based on the results so far we are honing in on time on Monday between 
17:00 and 21:00 UTC.

I'll send something final out in a few hours so get your votes in!

I'd like to participate too if that suits everyone else.

figure out details in John's other email thread.
