Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron. I do [[marketing]] "stuff" for Fedora.  Market research is my thing, and strategic marketing is something i consider fun and exciting.

I am, as I say, a domestic household engineer, which means I have 2 kids, a man, and usually something planned for burning for dinner.  In my former lives I have been a business analyst, a market research analyst, and I'm also a recovering [http://xkcd.com/149/ sysadmin].  I have no official employer, unless you ask my kids, who quite possibly think that I work for them. :)  I also help edit papers for the Ottawa / Montreal [http://http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2009/ Linux Symposium] every year; I encourage people to submit papers for and attend this great event, and if you know anything about LaTeX, I would love to have more help.  Awesomely, all the work / editing / building of the proceedings for this event is done on fedorapeople.org.  
Greetings, earthlings! I'm Robyn Bergeron.  


Speaking of Fedora... what, you may ask, do I do within the Fedora Project?  I'm a contributor to the marketing team - you have probably seen my emails making calls to the community for participation in things like the [[Release_slogan | F13 release slogan]], [[Fedora_13_Talking_Points | F13 talking points]], and probably many other things. I've also been working on driving [[Marketing_research | market research]] forward; if you took the [[Marketing_research#FUDCon_Toronto_2009_Survey | Post-FUDCon survey]], or have seen me banging the rallying drum for packaging work on [[Things_to_do_to_finish_Limesurvey| Limesurvey]] on my blog... those are just a few of the things I'm doing, research-wise.  As far as other team infrastructure goes - I also run the weekly [[Marketing_meetings | marketing meeting]] on IRC sometimes, am one of the admins for the [https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ Marketing Trac] instance, and one of the sponsors in FAS for new members to the Marketing group.  Other things I've done and continue to do include [[Feature_profiles | feature profile]] [[Desktop_Enhancements_in_Fedora_12 |interviews]], make sure that the marketing team is keeping on track to produce our deliverables according to [http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/f-13-marketing-tasks.html schedule], wikify various marketing things, and in general, just try to restrain myself from volunteering for more than I can actually do. :)  I was also delighted to attend the recent [[Marketing_FAD_2010 | Marketing FAD]] and help drive some of the schedule and deliverables at that event.

I live in the Phoenix, AZ area. Give me a jingle if you're in the area :)

Looking for schedule information?

The current schedule can always be found here.

Additionally, if you're the super planning type and planning on aligning a feature or package in a future fedora release, schedules are available through Fedora 20 for your perusal.

Please note that future schedules are subject to change, are not set in stone, and may still have bugs in them; however, the major dates, such as release dates, freeze dates, and feature submission dates, are fairly close to accurate.
