Hi everyone,
In today's meeting we talked about changing how we do meetings from just posting the minutes to the site, to doing a weekly recap. Nirik came up with this awesome suggestion and I +1 it. My thoughts are someone can come in and get a better idea of what has happened that week in just one spot rather than sort through all the meeting notes.
Thoughts or flames?

I think a curated synopsis is a bunch better idea. There's already a meeting-minutes list and archive for those that want to slog through it all, and frankly, posting the raw logs gives the impression of favoring quantity of content over polish.
Of course, I say this as someone that probably doesn't have a lot of time for the effort. I can come up with the copy for meetings I run, I suppose.

Indeed, it's a nice idea but it is a non-negligible amount of work for a human to commit to. I used to do something similar for the QA FWN beat, and it's not a five minute job; it'd probably be a few hours to try and synthesize elegantly all the stuff that happened in a week of Fedora project meetings...

Absolutely agreed. It's a wonderful idea if someone can do it, but that's not a trivial undertaking on a weekly basis.

I think it would be nice identify people who wants be the connection between groups and marketing before starting doing this.
As Adam said (I can confirm because I did the same in my blog, drastically interrupted) it's very difficult taking time for summarize the weekly work, we all can do this for few weeks then time will be longer.
Isn't it the case to create a template somewhere in the wiki (or in the track) where informations could be filled in? A sort of guided information request that someone of the marketing team could then insert in the magazine, so the work will be subdivided.

Any chance we can get meeting chairs to write a one or two-graf summary of the meetings they run? That would be the best way to handle it. I agree that it's a big undertaking to try to go through all the logs/minutes and write summaries, especially for meetings that the writer didn't attend.
Best,

I like the idea jzb suggested, but we would have to make it mandatory for all meeting chairs +1 ;)

Maybe not mandatory, but just say "if you'd like to see your meeting highlighted on the magazine, can you help us?"
Note, we should be ready to help edit/proofread the summaries for anyone who asks.

-1 to making it mandatory. It's our(mktgs) job to keep tabs on what's going on in the community and filter out what's worth using.
If you've read the recent thread on -devel/-ambassadors about liaisons from ambassadors in the WGs, we've got to do something similar. Everyone just pick a team they're interested in and attend the meetings/read their logs and report it to mktg so they can be published on the magazine. The only way we'll get anywhere close to covering the entire community is if we spread out.
I'll try and keep tabs on the Workstation WG. They had their first meeting recently. I'll have a summary up by tonight. I'm already keeping tabs on APAC, but we haven't had anything that's really worth putting up on the magazine yet.
Ankur +1
I am part of a few other teams and have been keeping tabs on their meetings and post summary's to go along with the notes/logs. I will add a table on the magazine wiki page for the different meetings and spot for people to list their names for the groups that they watch. I know a few of us help out in different areas of the project, so that could make the process easier.

Maybe we could encourage a brief summary to be included as part of the minutes via some zodbot command?
