 Replying to [comment:3 jzb]:
 > I think we should leave magazine objectives to the folks who are doing
 the Magazine most actively. I don't know that, for instance, this time is
 going to work well for Ryan and wouldn't want to be discussing magazine
 objectives without the folks doing the bulk of the work.
 >
 > (How we can work with the Magazine for other objectives is a reasonable
 topic here, but not setting Magazine objectives.)

 I can agree with getting input from the entire Magazine team, but I don't
 think there is any harm with starting the discussion in the meeting and
 moving that discussion to the mailing list later on. The editorial board
 meetings are usually short-sighted and I think that this meeting would be
 a good opportunity to try to brainstorm some long-term objectives for the
 Magazine and how it integrates with other objectives in Fedora. We could
 easily move this discussion to the list for a wider range of opinions
 after the meeting.

 > "requirements for joining marketing" == uh, show up? Do work? :-) We
 shouldn't have any barriers to contributing here. If this is about FAS
 account membership, or whatever, people should get membership *AFTER* they
 have made contributions.

 This was more along the lines of FAS account membership. Gabri noted that
 many times, people will introduce themselves on the list, get approved in
 the FAS group, and then fall off shortly thereafter. I think we were
 wanting to identify the steps to come up with a definite "how to become an
 official Marketing team member" versus raising the bar for getting started
 with contributing.

 > Note also: ALL plans are future plans. Planning for the past would be
 futile. Future plans is redundant. :-)

 My interpretation of this was more as a preventative measure of actively
 coming up with ideas to prevent Marketing from falling into inactivity
 like it has the past couple of cycles. Perhaps it could use some rewording
 for the topic – but I think the purpose of this section is preventative
 action to combat the problems that we have faced in previous cycles.

 > I would like to keep the "state of" section pretty brief and be ready to
 jump into planning for F24 and beyond.

 +1 from me too. This will be where the most meat of the meeting will be.
