The Fedora Council held their FAD from 26-28
March. During the FAD, they tackled some key areas of interest
across the project. This is one part of a series of posts (to come).
Important information for any contributor to review.(jwf,

=== In the news: "Fedora 26 Alpha Released With
New Features — Download ISO File Here" ===(jwf,
13:05:15)
A generic article supporting the Fedora 26
Alpha release. Nothing too unique, mostly positive, advises caution
to using it on stable machinery. Worth noting is that they source
their changes from the 26 ChangeSet wiki page.(jwf,
13:05:25)
=== In the news: "Red Hat and Fedora Teams
Welcome Ubuntu to GNOME and Wayland with Open Arms" ===(jwf,
13:05:32)
Softpedia covered GNOME developer Christian
Schaller's blog post welcoming Ubuntu / Canonical to the GNOME
community on behalf of the Fedora Workstation team. The response was
overwhelmingly positive! Which brings to the next point…(jwf,

=== Record setting: Facebook, collaboration on
GNOME ===(jwf,
13:05:49)
Our Facebook post resharing the article was one
of our most widely responded to post on Facebook… ever! As of now,
69,018 people reached, 1.4k likes, and 257 shares! People are in
love with the idea of upstream collaboration (it seems)!(jwf,
13:05:59)
How This Works: We look at past #action items
from the last meeting for quick follow-up. If a task is completed,
we move on to the next one. If it isn't, we get an update and
re-action it if needed. If no status, we'll try to get a quick
update and move forward.(jwf,

=== [DROPPED] jwf to solicit the WGs left to
edit the Talking Point page, even splitting the TP in two parts (one
of them is for the long-term vision of audience-based TPs)
===(jwf,
13:08:10)
Most feedback is there, following up with
remaining groups(jwf,

to add their information to the wiki page before the beta release

ACTION: jwf Reach out
to the Server WG / Spins mailing list to ask for talking point
additions to the wiki page before beta release(jwf,

IDEA: Bringing back the
SXSW-style brochures is one thing that would be helpful to demo what
non-Linux users can do with Linux (great for installfests /
hackathons)(jwf,
13:39:29)
IDEA: To the Council:
Seeking clarification on target audiences so we can better work with
Ambassadors to get feedback "from the ground" and convert that into
deliverables that help move Fedora forward(jwf,
13:40:38)
IDEA: To us, later:
Having topic-based meetings to drive discussions around specific
areas or topics instead of jumping around with a ticket-based
focus(jwf,
13:41:13)
ACTION: jwf Start
Google Doc for "State of Marketing" outline/presentation, share with
x3mboy, mailga, bkp, others(jwf,
