moixs The F11 cycle was more or less a test on many points 22:12
themayor it was 22:13
moixs Do you have many published news at the time? 22:13
themayor yes, i need to keep updating the press arhive 22:13
themayor i already added only a few pieces 22:13
themayor there are many more 22:13
|<-- ChitleshGoorah has left freenode (Remote closed the connection) 22:13

moixs I just updated 3-4 on the press archive page 22:14
themayor nice 22:15
themayor well anyway, i was thinking more stuff would be published in europe overnight 22:15
themayor as the release was out mid-afternoon there 22:15
themayor most places might run it in the morning 22:16
moixs yes, that's usually the case 22:16
-->| ChitleshGoorah (n=chitlesh@40.4-66-87.adsl-static.isp.belgacom.be) has joined #fedora-meeting 22:16
moixs The release was published at around 17h, which is about when people go home :D 22:16
moixs The Fedora tour page is a real plus or this release 22:17
moixs it is really complete 22:17
themayor yup its a good idea 22:17
moixs The podcasts and interviews were very well received 22:17
themayor yup and i think thats what the focus of fedora really needs to continue to be 22:18
themayor i mean of fedora marketing 22:18
themayor my plans for the future include a change of layout and a concept of a Fedora Magazine 22:18
themayor a live online magazine, with which we do all kinds of things like audio and videos 22:18
themayor more often 22:18
moixs Hard to motivate people in the long run :) 22:19
themayor and print stuff 22:19
themayor well traffic motivates people and i am sure we can get people to come to the site for podcasts, etc 22:19
-->| maploin (n=mapleoin@fedora/maploin) has joined #fedora-meeting 22:19
rjune_ that's probably a good idea 22:19
moixs oh for podcasts sure 22:19
|<-- nman64 has left freenode (Remote closed the connection) 22:19
moixs I was thinking about the pdf magazine the portuguese and french produce 22:19
moixs From what I can see, it's a loooooot of work 22:20
rjune_ it probably is a lot of work. 22:20
rjune_ but would it have to be pdf? 22:20
|<-- kital has left freenode (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) 22:21
moixs Not as themayor seems to do it,which is nice 22:21
=-= lx0 is now known as lxo 22:21
themayor no i would like an online "living" magazine 22:21
-->| giallu (n=giallu@fedora/giallu) has joined #fedora-meeting 22:22
rjune_ themayor: can you give a well known example? 22:22
|<-- rishi has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 22:22
|<-- neverho0d has left freenode (Success) 22:23

moixs We have a problem now...pages and content everywhere. And too many pages which are release-dependent 22:24
themayor yup 22:24
moixs Would be nice to organize the whole thing in a clean manner for once 22:24
rjune_ there's a bit of that. 22:24
themayor well we are supposed to be getting a cms 22:25
rjune_ if done right, it should be possible to pull a handfull of the articles together into a "print" magazine and either publish an ePub or PDF 22:25
themayor sometime soon after the release now 22:25
themayor rjune_: sure, but i really dont wanna focus on print stuff 22:25
themayor meaning if we can add that as a bonus, great 22:26
themayor i want to focus more on content, not medium 22:26
* rharrison seconds that 22:26
moixs themayor: when do you want to migrate the wiki pages to the F12 cycle and clean up the wiki? In 2 weeks? 22:26
rharrison although keeping in mind translating content to mediums when creating it is probably a good idea 22:27
themayor yes something like that 22:27
themayor moixs: yup deadline should be 2 weeks 22:27
themayor i think at some point we need to put together a comprehensive overview of how this cycle went 22:27
themayor what went well, what didnt 22:27
moixs Yeah, lessons learned are important to progress 22:28
themayor and work from there for both whatever direction we decide to go in, but also tying up this cycle 22:28
|<-- dthomasdigital has left freenode ("Leaving") 22:29
themayor so you know what 22:29
themayor why dont we work on that document first, for next week 22:30
themayor and then in two weeks from now i can use that to present something on what the next iteration of fedora marketing cycle should look like 22:30
moixs Post it to the ML, ask people to give feedback 22:31
moixs And compile it on your side? 22:32
moixs It seems the most effective way 22:32
moixs (to me) 22:32
