I started writing this a while ago and never got it fully formed. Rather than let it keep rotting in my drafts folder I wanted to share it and see if it made sense to anyone else.
Warning - rough edges ahead!
---
Conversations with several people have resulted in distilling the following idea:
= EasyFix
== Changing metadata
Modify the table that drives fedoraproject.org/easyfix that is located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix
The table would now include two additional columns (optional)
Col 1 = existing reference to the issue tracker. We should consider adding gitlab.com support
Col 2 = existing point of contact
Col 3 = category of task (documentation, infrastructure, programming-Haskell, programming-Ruby, etc.)
Col 4 = SIG/WG/etc. this project is related too (Design, Council, KDE, etc.)
== Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix
Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and Bugzillas
I believe those categories are not the right categories for consumers of the page. Using the new category (col 3) above, we would break things out by the kind of contribution. This would serve to let people browse related tasks more easily and to reduce the overwhelming nature of the current lists.
For BZs we are either going to have to guess based on BZ metadata or leave them lumped together.
= WCIDFF
WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups appropriate for the various endpoints. This way the person who navigates WCDIFF has the option of reading a specific task they could work on right now, if they so desire.
= Marketing/Promotion
The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. This could come in the form of articles, tweets, or live conference appearances.
What do people think?

The third and final day of the Mindshare FAD came to a close.
We discussed the following topics:
* Budget allocation and procedure for Mindshare
* Finding a common meeting time (actually hard…)
* Reporting and devising action plan for messaging
* Generating post-FAD action items
Details are all below. Thanks everyone for your time, energy, and
motivation this week. For many of us, this was back-to-back with other
travel and strategic planning, but I think we all are happy with what we
came up with at the end.
See you in channel, mailing list, or elsewhere soon. :-)

The second day of the Mindshare FAD came to an end a little bit ago.
Today was intense but we covered a lot of ground!
The full details are in the minutes so I won't summarize, but here's an
outline of what we covered:
* Council FAD recap: Understanding Fedora's mission
* Why we want mindshare (not committee, the idea) and how to measure it
* Messaging we want to deliver to outreach teams
* Communicating messaging with Ambassadors
* What do we say in our messaging?
* Swag logistics / delivery
* Role of Design in Mindshare
* Role of CommOps in Mindshare
* Role of Marketing in Mindshare
* Role of Docs in Mindshare
* Role of Ambassadors in Mindshare
* Structure of Ambassadors
It was a really intense day. But in the best kind of way. :-)
We'll be back for Round 2 in the morning. Ciao!

a new mission (bexelbie, 08:27:33)
* original mission: We are making a general purpose linux distro ...
(bexelbie, 08:27:46)

* next mission lead advancement of free and open source software and
content as a collaborative community (bexelbie, 08:28:21)
* this wasn't actionable, is hard and isn't really answered by a
distro. So it was disconnected and asprirational and the world
changed without us necessarily being the leaders of it (bexelbie,
08:28:55)
* said, lets get back to basics of what is unique, what are we doing,
who for, etc. (mission statements) (bexelbie, 08:29:47)

questions of what makes Fedora unique to understand our audience and

* IDEA: jsmith: "People stick around in Fedora because of the
community – all carrot, no stick" (jwf, 08:47:30)
