19:07:31 * jsmith lurks
19:07:41 <mitzie> Hey jsmith
19:08:05 <croberts> hey guys
19:08:44 <mitzie> We will keep it short today guys, as suehle and jzb are away
19:09:42 <croberts> ok lets start
19:09:55 <croberts> #topic Fedora Magazine
19:10:42 <croberts> So again I wanted to thank all the contributors, the magazine site looks amazing back when I joined marketing in August this thing was dead
19:10:56 <croberts> We should have more videos ready to upload soon
19:11:13 <croberts> if anyone has any suggestions for the site please let us know :)
19:12:06 <mitzie> Although I just realised the bug gnokii mentioned about the slideshow
19:12:24 <mitzie> I will try to fix it, I know what's causing it
19:12:25 <croberts> I have been very active in posting the minutes for each meeting so everyone can view them there. Also I am going to start posting the "This week in Fedora" as well. Some of you probally have seen the awesome email I have been putting together the last few weeks for that
19:13:05 <mitzie> +1 Croberts!
19:13:44 <croberts> Anyone have anything to say about the magazine before we move on to the next topic
19:14:59 <croberts> ok next topic
19:15:32 <croberts> since we are keeping the meeting short we are just going to open floor
19:15:39 <croberts> #topic openfloor
19:16:07 <jreznik_> just reminder - readiness meeting is this week - on Thursday
19:16:16 <croberts> I will be there :)
19:16:40 <mitzie> For beta? Great!
19:16:46 <jreznik_> yep, for Beta
19:17:06 <jreznik_> but it does not look like we will be able to say go this week, but readiness is still scheduled
19:17:31 <croberts> Yes I will make a great post on the magazine for this and sticky it to the front so other people who are not in marketing can attend. Will you let me know if the date is changed?
19:17:50 <croberts> I am working on trying to finish up my release marketing tasks
19:18:00 <croberts> 10 years of Fedora and the Firefox bookmarks
19:18:27 <croberts> I know jzb was working on a few things, but he is out of the country atm
19:19:42 <croberts> jreznik_: do you have the link to the release tasks
19:19:46 <jreznik_> I'm not going to move it :) but in case of emergency, I'll ping everyone involved :)
19:19:53 <croberts> i had to reinstall fedora and lost a few of my bookmarks
19:19:57 <jreznik_> croberts: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-20/
19:19:59 <croberts> ok sounds good :)
19:20:31 <croberts> I should get both of those tasks done today especially the bookmark task
19:20:52 <croberts> me and jzb have started to use the Marketing Trac to keep tabs on the tasks at hand
19:21:05 <croberts> anyone is free to comment or help with them :)
19:21:31 <croberts> me and jzb went through and closed a lot of the old outdated marketing tickets so it should only be current info in there
19:21:31 * mitzie will take a look ;)
19:22:20 <croberts> I would bring up flyers but jzb and suehle are not here.
19:22:31 <croberts> does anyone have any other info about flyers they would like to share?
19:23:17 <croberts> I am hoping to start working on some flyers come Dec, I think suehle said nov/dec is when we will start needing more flyers
19:24:27 <croberts> anyone have anything else to add?
19:25:21 <croberts> Will close in 1
19:25:53 <nirik> oh, I have a thing to bring up...
19:25:59 <croberts> hi nirik
19:26:03 <croberts> sure :)
19:26:04 <nirik> back to magazine... :)
19:26:11 <croberts> ok :)
19:26:14 <mitzie> Hey nirik!
19:26:16 <croberts> #topic Fedora magazine
19:26:34 <nirik> I see you're posting meeting minutes, but is that much value add? I mean people can subscribe to the meetingminutes mailing list?
19:26:54 <nirik> I like the idea of a weekly wrap up tho, or some kind of summary of what happened or something value add. ;)
19:27:10 * roshi is finally here
19:27:11 <croberts> +1 nirik
19:27:17 <roshi> I concur with Nirik
19:27:20 <croberts> I do like that idea actually better
19:27:33 <croberts> it would make posting everything easier too since there are lot of meetings
19:27:37 <nirik> but of course it's more work
19:27:39 <croberts> just have 1 post which highlights the week
19:27:47 <roshi> everything is always more work nirik
19:27:48 <roshi> :0
19:27:52 <nirik> yeah, so very true
19:27:52 <roshi> ;)
19:27:55 <croberts> hi roshi
19:27:58 * croberts waves
19:28:04 * roshi waves back
19:28:19 <nirik> anyhow, just thought I would bring it up... I think the magazine should strive to add value, not just repeat stuff
19:28:52 <nirik> thats all I had, just a side note. ;)
19:28:52 <croberts> I would perfer a weekly wrapup kinda of like this week in fedora
19:29:40 <croberts> I will bring it up to the mailing list and get the rest of the community's oppinion but i +1 this idea
19:29:52 <croberts> opinion*
19:30:07 <croberts> #topic openfloor
19:30:26 * robyduck has to add something too
19:30:29 <croberts> roshi since you just joined did you have anything to bring up from the QA side of things
19:30:34 <croberts> hi robyduck
19:30:38 <robyduck> hi croberts
19:30:43 <roshi> not atm
19:30:50 <croberts> feel free to chime in robyduck :)
19:30:58 <roshi> I'm drafting a blog post for this weeks test days
19:30:59 <mitzie> Hey guys! Sorry I was away a bit
19:31:10 <roshi> gfx test week - so I can put that on the magazine if you like
19:31:13 <robyduck> we have an open ticket for the websites for long time now, and we really need to update the using and features pages
19:31:19 <croberts> roshi: yes please :0
19:31:21 <croberts> :)
19:31:23 <roshi> ok
19:31:32 <robyduck> just yesterday I had to drop another feature because it links into nothing
19:31:44 <croberts> robyduck: can you link the ticket
19:32:04 <robyduck> so, if anyone has time to put something together (mizmo did it in the past) would be fine
19:32:11 <roshi> I was also thinking maybe this group could select poignant posts from planet.fedora and put them on the magazine
19:32:12 <robyduck> .webticket 164
19:32:13 <roshi> or something
19:32:13 <zodbot> robyduck: #164 (http://fedoraproject.org/using/ "Too old usage") – fedora-websites - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/164
19:32:45 <robyduck> croberts: I can also open another ticket on mktg track, but there would be too much tickets
19:33:15 <croberts> +1 roshi I like this idea as well some of the planet posts do have some value which would be nice to have on the magazine
19:33:29 <croberts> robyduck: i will take a look at it
19:33:33 * croberts goes and looks real quick
19:33:57 <robyduck> nice, ping me if you want, will help you if needed
19:34:31 <croberts> will do robyduck: I will
19:34:38 <robyduck> great :)
19:35:02 <robyduck> thank you, sorry for interrupting you
19:35:12 <croberts> #action chrisroberts to work with robyduck on webticket 164
19:36:00 <croberts> #action chrisroberts to send email to marketing mailing list about having a weekly recap instead of posting meeting minutes
19:36:15 <croberts> Anyone have anything else to add :)
19:36:58 <croberts> ok closing in 1
19:37:16 <croberts> roshi: did you want to pick a few posts
19:37:19 <croberts> from planet
19:37:37 <roshi> I could look through and nominate some - send it to the list
19:37:46 <croberts> +1
19:37:56 <croberts> #action roshi to pick a few posts and send to marketing list
19:38:06 <roshi> also - if this becomes a thing, there could be badges created out of this
19:38:17 <roshi> might be a little bit of an incentive
19:38:24 <croberts> +1 I like that idea
19:38:30 <mitzie> Great! We couls add a new category roshi in the mag and put it on the main menu
19:38:34 <roshi> but that would take more thought than what I just put into it :p
19:38:38 <croberts> suehle submitted 2 badges for contributors to the magazine site
19:38:51 <roshi> cool
19:38:55 <croberts> yep :)
19:39:16 <croberts> ok everything thanks for coming
