Revision as of 10:24, 25 March 2013

These are the Talking Points for the Fedora 19 release. They are currently under construction. For information on how we are making these talking points, please see Talking Points SOP.

Not everything listed here right now will end up as a talking point.
The list below covers all the Fedora 19 features; we will be looking at the features that have comments on why they should become talking points, and choosing the final small selection of talking points from that, then cleaning up this page.

Categories

We have traditionally used categories along the lines of "User, Developer, Sysadmin," and of late have used additional categories for release announcements such as "cloud." I'd like to rethink that - the line is increasingly blurry for all of those groups, and I wonder if we might get more understanding by grouping some features along the lines of what they enable.

Suggested Categories

  • User
  • Sysadmin
  • Developer
  • Cloud
  • (new) Develop and Distribute: Languages, compilers, and tools for developing software, and tools for packaging software.
  • (new) Start and Recover: Enabling a variety of options for improving boot times, as well as quicker recovery from system or software failure.
  • (new) Monitor and Manage: Systems and resource management, and tools for diagnosis, monitoring, and logging.
  • Add your suggestion here!

How to use Categories

Feel free to give a feature multiple categories; if you come up with category suggestions of your own, add them to the suggested categories list and apply them in the list of features as you see fit and reasonable.

Brainstorming List

Template for Final Talking Points Selected

These are the Talking Points for the Fedora 19 release. For information on how these talking points were chosen, see Talking Points SOP. They are intended to help Ambassadors quickly present an overview of highlighted features when talking about the release.

The talking points are based in part on the features for this release. Any Fedora community member can introduce a feature, using our feature process.

For desktop users and everyone

Spins

Spins are alternate versions of Fedora, tailored for various uses by community members.

Spins are alternate versions of Fedora. In addition to various desktop environments for Fedora, spins are also available as tailored environments for various types of users via hand-picked application sets or customizations.

(OLD EXAMPLE FOLLOWS - need to replace with what is submitted for F19!) Interest-specific Spins include the Design Suite Spin, Games Spin, and Security Spin, among others. Available desktop environments, in addition to the GNOME 3 desktop which is shipped in the default version of Fedora 15, include Xfce, Sugar on a Stick, KDE, and LXDE.
