Marketing Meeting Log for 2009-09-22

Meeting logs [1] and notes [2] for the 2009-09-22. Fedora Marketing Meeting were made available. All Marketing meetings and notes are open to the public. [3]


Thanks to Robyn Bergeron for running the meeting in Mel’s absence!!

F12 Talking points

Talking points are more or less done[4] and now ambassadors can start using them. Ambassadors can choose from various suggestions on using talking points[5].

Matchmaking for Feature Profile interviews

With the F12 talking points out already, we need to start doing print or podcast interviews around some of the points /features[6]. We identified the desktop,admin and development users category and selected 4 talking points that should definitely have interviews to go along with them- Next-Gen Ogg, NetworkManager enhancements, Virt improvements, and Systemtap improvements.

The tools / information to start doing interviews are available[7]. If someone is willing to take something on, please add your name to the wiki as the owner so we know that we (a) have an owner, and (b) don't have 12 owners being redundant.

Paul W. Frields has graciously volunteered to do the SystemTap interview and has shared a stub page for the systmetap interview he did in F11[8]. A podcast will be available soon. Thanks Paul!!!

We're still looking to synchronize interviewees and interviewers[9].

Fedora Insight status

We originally planned to launch Fedora Insight on September 29 (right before infrastructure freeze), but to get a stable platform up and tested, with a contribution workflow we're all happy with, we pushed the launch date out until right after the freeze instead and moved it to Oct 14(when the freeze lifts), and the revised schedule is available[10]. [11][12].

Marketing Research

Robyn is working on a list of questions on marketing research to be sent out and will keep plugging away at market research.

Coming up next

In-depth feature profiles are on track and should get finished by 2009-10-06. Help with podcasts is available on a wiki page "How to make a podcast" and provides advises on how to start with making podcasts for best results[13].

Red Hat Marketing/PR will be helping a during the F12 release cycle and we should have a release video ready for release day. Paul will be recording the video and is currently working to get a couple feature videos ready in the coming weeks.
