Is there any more work that needs to be done for this ticket? Are we good to close it? 21:16:04 <jflory7> In my eyes, I think we're all set here? 21:16:14 <jflory7> cc: mizmo if she is around too, just to be sure 21:16:27 <decause> jflory7: close it, mizmo is travelling. I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering them 21:16:33 * jflory7 nods 21:16:38 <decause> one of the many things I'm in the middle of now ;) 21:16:40 <jflory7> Nice work, team! :) 21:16:44 <decause> cydrobolt: check your inbox, btw ;) 21:16:45 <jflory7> I'm really happy about these 21:17:22 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Close Ticket #219, everything needed is complete! Take churchyard's feedback into Design ticket for updating for later prints (just one or two minor typos) 21:17:35 <decause> jflory7: I think mizmo fixed them 21:17:40 <jflory7> Oh, brilliant! 21:17:42 <jflory7> mizmo++ 21:17:52 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #222 === 21:17:53 <jflory7> #link https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/222 21:17:59 <jflory7> #info "Publicizing "Fedora affiliates" (or groups using Fedora)" 21:17:59 <decause> we worked on them until late recently since the last meeting 21:18:03 <jflory7> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Scratch/Affiliates 21:18:09 <jflory7> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Scratch/CurrentAffiliates 21:18:15 <jflory7> The drafts are ready for review. What are the next steps we need to identify moving forward on this ticket? 21:18:34 <jflory7> decause: Ack. So they might even make it to print then. Cool! I'm sure churchyard will be very happy to hear that. 21:18:55 <jflory7> jbishop: Did you want to offer anything here or you just wanting to get some feedback on these? 21:19:03 * decause has to double check, but I think so 21:19:12 <jflory7> decause: I'll definitely take a second look after too 21:19:22 <jbishop> At this point, I'm just looking for feedback. 21:19:36 <jflory7> Okay, cool. So here's where we can revisit that previous action. 21:19:46 <jflory7> I saw the call on the Marketing list already, which was awesome. 21:20:09 <jflory7> I could forward that same email to the Ambassadors + council-discuss mailing lists for you if you'd like with some background for the folks who haven't been following the discussion. 21:20:20 <jflory7> Does this sound like a good idea? 21:20:25 <jbishop> Sounds perfect. 21:20:29 <jflory7> Awesome! 21:20:36 <jflory7> Then I think that will be the next step for the ticket then 21:20:42 <jflory7> And there's already an existing action item for it. 21:20:51 <jflory7> So I'll take care of that immediately after the meeting. 21:20:57 <jflory7> Anything else for this ticket? 21:21:09 <jbishop> Nothing else here. 21:21:44 <jflory7> #agreed jbishop has the drafts ready for review and posted a request for feedback on the Marketing list. jflory7 will forward his email on to the Ambassadors and council-discuss mailing lists to get a broader amount of feedback from the Fedora community too. 21:21:52 <jflory7> Awesome! Well, that's all the tickets today. 21:21:53 <decause> jflory7: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/raw-attachment/ticket/434/python-fedora_final.pdf 21:22:05 <decause> this was uploaded 6 days ago 21:22:06 * jflory7 checks really fast 21:22:11 <decause> seems like the right one 21:22:27 <jflory7> decause: It doesn't have the very last bit of feedback in (e.g. Pypy being PyPy). 21:22:47 <jflory7> The things noticed were minor at the end, but I'll make sure that feedback gets over to the Design ticket for later reference too. 21:22:54 <decause> def def 21:23:00 <decause> if that's the only miss, then so be it 21:23:14 <decause> she worked *really* hard on this folks, so in the future, we really need to get the feedback in sooner 21:23:33 <decause> adding that whole block about workstation caused us to nearly redesign the whole thing 21:23:57 <decause> so, for reals, in the future, we cannot be proofing things last minute like that 21:23:59 <ridgemat> That leaflet is gorgeous, well done to everyone putting that together! Might print one just for me! 21:24:13 <decause> ridgemat: I agree, it is pretty glorious 21:24:34 <jbishop> Why print one just for you? Print a bunch and give them to your friends. ;) 21:24:41 <jflory7> decause: He has a few highlighted, minor changes in this preview (https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/attachment/ticket/219/preview-inner.png) from this comment (https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/219#comment:40). They're all minor syntax errors, though, so I don't think anyone will be super unhappy with them. mizmo and bkp put in some awesome work on these. Can't wait to see them in the paper. :) 21:24:51 <ridgemat> jbishop: Indeed :) 21:24:57 <jflory7> jbishop++ 21:25:14 <jflory7> Alrighty! So I think that's all the ticket items for today. 21:25:21 <decause> ridgemat: if you're serious about it, there is a 'no bleed' version on the ticket for home printing 21:25:32 <jflory7> Our Trac is almost empty from tickets, which sounds super crazy being so close to GA. ;) 21:25:41 <jflory7> But no worries, I'm sure things will be heating back up in no time 21:25:46 <decause> jflory7: we should add one for the the GA annouce then ;) 21:25:53 <jflory7> That's what I was thinking 21:25:54 <ridgemat> decause: Thanks! I don't have a printer these days, but I'm sure I could 'borrow' someone's :) 21:25:56 <jflory7> #topic Upcoming Tasks 21:26:01 <jflory7> #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-24/f-24-marketing-tasks.html 21:26:05 <jflory7> #info (1) Email WGs to solicit bullet points for GA release announcement (starting: Mon 2016-05-23) 21:26:10 <jflory7> #info (2) Marketing: Final Screen Shots (starting: Tue 2016-05-24) 21:26:14 <jflory7> #info (3) Brief news distribution network (starting: Tue 2016-05-24) 21:26:19 <jflory7> #info (4) Monitor news sites to provide corrections & info (starting: Tue 2016-05-24) 21:26:25 <jflory7> #info (5) Create GA Announcement (Docs & Marketing) (starting: Tue 2016-05-31) 21:26:27 <jflory7> eof 21:26:41 <decause> jflory7: those dates are /close/ 21:26:43 <jflory7> #action jflory7 File a Marketing Trac ticket for the F24 final release announcement 21:26:58 <decause> we've slipped a bit, but I like the idea of sticking to the timeline and getting there early 21:27:09 <jflory7> decause: I think some of them didn't adjust when F24 was pushed back (e.g. monitoring news distribution networks), but for the most part, these are all relevant 21:27:17 <decause> nod nod 21:27:24 <decause> anyone here from docs team by chance? 21:27:25 <jflory7> I reached to mailga about the screenshots, and cprofitt offered to take some on a fresh F24 install next week 21:27:38 <decause> cprofitt++ 21:28:07 <jflory7> But I'm not as savvy with the screenshot process or figuring out what is needed for this release (e.g. do we need all screenshots or again or can we only highlight what's new and fall back to F23 screenshots for the rest?). 21:28:52 <jflory7> mailga or other Marketing veterans' input would be welcome for this one. :) 21:29:00 <jflory7> I just ping mailga because I know he handled them for F23. 21:29:12 <jflory7> In either case, starting email loops sooner than later is a good idea. 21:30:06 <decause> agreed 21:30:14 <decause> def ping mailga, create a ticket for that too? 21:30:20 <decause> cc me, and cprofitt and mailga? 21:30:31 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Create a ticket for screenshots in F24, CC mailga, decause, cprofitt 21:30:34 <jflory7> Cool. 21:30:39 <jflory7> Anything else for this section? 21:31:00 <jflory7> Going once... 21:31:10 <jflory7> Going twice... 21:31:15 <decause> other than the GA Announce, I reckon we're good 21:31:15 <jflory7> Going thrice... 21:31:21 <jflory7> #topic Open Floor 21:31:34 <jflory7> Whoa, open floor and we're hardly at halfway point, when does that happen? ;) 21:31:45 <jflory7> Anyone have any other open business to bring up? 21:31:47 <decause> when folks are getting things done :) 21:31:54 <jflory7> Heh, very true. 21:32:06 <jflory7> I can spend this next 30 minute gap knocking out some action items. 21:32:16 <decause> there is a draft in Fedora Magazine asking for new writers that I'm about to review (soon) 21:32:33 <jflory7> Ooh, yeah, I should take a peek there too 21:32:39 <decause> so, if you are here in mktg, and haven't contributed to magazine before, we're looking for new authors 21:32:39 <jflory7> ryanlerch wrote that one up, yeah? 21:32:50 <decause> jflory7: yes, he pinged for feedback yesterday I reckon 21:32:53 <decause> me at least 21:32:54 <jflory7> Cool cool 21:32:57 <decause> I told him I would help 21:33:03 <jflory7> Sounds good. 21:33:54 <jflory7> #info The Fedora Magazine is looking for new writers! If you're interested in writing for the Magazine, check out the "Getting started" page for more info. Watch for an article on the Fedora Magazine about the same thing too! 21:34:08 <jflory7> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/ 21:34:13 <jflory7> Alrighty, cool! 21:34:15 <jflory7> Anything else? 21:34:20 <jflory7> Going once... 21:34:23 <jbishop> I'm thinking that I might do more Magazine stuff once class stuff wraps up. 21:34:33 <jflory7> Contributions always welcome :) 21:34:43 <jflory7> That page is a super good reference for getting started. 21:34:52 <jflory7> Going twice... 21:35:00 <decause> parting thoughts? 21:35:02 <jflory7> Thrice... 21:35:08 <jflory7> Sure, decause, take the wheel! :) 21:35:16 <decause> #topic Parting Thoughts 21:35:18 <decause> so 21:35:42 <decause> We did a better job shippin the F24 beta announce, and I wanted to officially thank the folks here in mktg for helping make that happen 21:36:01 <decause> the fedora-mktg repo was a little rocky with db bugs, but we worked around it and made it happen 21:36:34 <decause> we also did a good job building an entirely new brand in Fedora for our Python Marketing Initiative 21:36:56 <decause> we leaned on Mizmo pretty hard at times, but overall I think that the important thing is that we're going to be able to deliver for pycon 21:36:59 <decause> and then some 21:37:10 <jflory7> mizmo++ mizmo++ mizmo++ 21:37:31 <decause> this "Fedora Loves Python" marketing initiative is in the draft/proposal stages, but I think we can make it official now 21:37:55 <decause> so, before Flock, I'd like to officially bring a vote to making this a project-wide objective 21:38:37 <decause> this is a *big* deal for mktg, as it would be our first objective tied to this subproject since there has been a council structure of governance (from what I know) 21:39:08 <jflory7> I am very big +1 to seeing that happen. 21:39:28 <decause> I probably shouldn't be the objective owner, but I don't know who else would take it on :P 21:39:45 <decause> I'd be happy to co-own it maybe if the council would allow it? 21:39:52 <jflory7> Hmmm. Seems like a tough thing to pin on a single person. 21:40:21 <decause> either way, that is big news 21:40:30 <decause> #action decause ask council about objective co-ownership 21:40:33 <decause> lastly 21:40:35 <jflory7> I see this as a joint effort between Marketing and the Python SIG, so it might be worth reaching out to someone there so we have 50% Marketing lead, 50% Python SIG lead 21:40:48 <decause> jflory7: I think that is likely the best way, yes 21:41:16 <decause> our next *big* task will be delivering the GA Announcement 21:41:40 <decause> and after the Docs FAD in Raleigh, I've come to realize how much wisdom and experience our docs team has for project wide changes 21:41:58 <decause> the Release Notes are a *trove* of knowledge 21:42:06 <decause> and they should work closely with the Release Announcement 21:42:34 <decause> so, I want us all to make a special effort to reach out to the Docs team, and see if we can't get a better bridge happening 21:42:35 * jflory7 nods 21:42:53 <decause> I didn't make it to their docs hours this week (triple booked meetings today) but I want to do better next week 21:43:15 <decause> if folks are available here in mktg during their slot, please join them 21:43:42 <jflory7> Acknowledged. 21:44:09 <decause> let's knock the GA Announce outta the park this time, ahead of time, and continue building on the momentum we have here 21:44:48 <decause> and the new conribs like jbishop being here is both indicative of and a driving force for that increased energy 21:45:07 <jbishop> Hm? 21:45:10 <decause> let's keep building mktg, cause it's working for sure :) 21:45:40 <decause> jbishop: glad you're here, and we want to bring more folks like you into the fold :) 21:45:44 <decause> ok 21:45:44 <jflory7> decause: +1 21:45:58 <decause> nice work, congrats all, and I look forward to the GA :) 21:46:01 * decause EoF 21:46:08 <jbishop> Thanks, though I don't feel like I've done much. 21:47:31 <jflory7> Every little bit counts, and after a while, that adds up. :) 21:47:49 <jflory7> decause: Good to gavel out? 21:48:20 <jflory7> Going once... 21:48:29 <jflory7> Going twice... 21:48:40 <jflory7> Going thrice... 21:48:45 <jflory7> Thanks for coming out tonight, everyone! 21:48:49 <jflory7> See you all next week. 21:48:51 <jflory7> #endmeeting
