Comment (by woohuiren):

 Just some thoughts:


 > What defines active participation?

 For me, I'm living in the Asia region (specifically, Singapore) and it is
 not very possible to attend meetings due to timezone differences. However,
 I do read marketing list emails and meeting minutes. Due to that, I do not
 think that being unable to attend meetings should be considered
 "inactive".

 I do not respond to most of the emails unless I feel I have something I
 can contribute (less noise is good). So occasional replies should be
 considered as "active participation".

 Other than that, I'm also doing local marketing (Twitter, meetups [this is
 more of ambassador], Facebook and blog [fedora planet]). I think these
 small activities should be considered as "active participation". It should
 not just be limited to Fedora Magazine blogging; Fedora Planet blogging
 should also be considered as active participation.

 > The Join page should be evaluated and seen if anything can be updated or
 added.

 I've seen on the IRC meeting logs that someone has suggested a "review
 process". I'm all for it but do take note that some folks might not have
 contributed anything in the past and they want to start off. So how are we
 going to evaluate this specific group of people's passion?

 > What else can we "show" as what Marketing is working on currently?

 Upcoming events, to-do stuff. We can suggest marketing ideas on the
 mailing list (FOSS ASIA, Tech In Asia) and if accepted, wiki page should
 be updated accordingly. Lots of manual work but if there's a better way to
 do it, I'm all for it.

 Suggestion:

 Overall, I think Fed Marketing has done an excellent job with marketing
 but what about onboarding new members or perhaps just get folks to
 contribute to other Fed stuff? Should we hold an annual marketing event
 where we try to get people to contribute to Fedora... or?
