langdon asked me to start that etherpad but I
don't know why yet(mattdm,
08:24:15)
Goal to walk out with refined set of
requirements, know if we're meeting those requirements, and then how
to deliver on those requirements(jwf,
08:25:37)
mattdm presenting overview of output of council
fad that resulted in a new mission(bexelbie,
08:27:33)
original mission: We are making a general
purpose linux distro ...(bexelbie,
08:27:46)
that was general and put us in a "box"(bexelbie,
08:28:19)
next mission lead advancement of free and open
source software and content as a collaborative community(bexelbie,
08:28:21)
this wasn't actionable, is hard and isn't
really answered by a distro. So it was disconnected and
asprirational and the world changed without us necessarily being the
leaders of it(bexelbie,
08:28:55)
said, lets get back to basics of what is
unique, what are we doing, who for, etc. (mission statements)(bexelbie,
08:29:47)
current mission: in the context of the
foundations, fedora creates an innovative platform for hardware,
clouds, and containers that enables software developers and comunity
members to build tailored solutions for their users(bexelbie,
08:30:50)
Fedora has editions recognizing that we are
more than just a desktop and has multiple audiences(bexelbie,
08:32:13)
IDEA: Enabling
platforms for people to do things(jwf,
08:34:52)
In addition to making this platform, also build
reference platforms to work and serve particular needs we think need
to be filled in a circular way(jwf,
08:36:01)
IDEA: Fedora is not
just a desktop operating system but a platform to do a number of
things(jwf,
08:37:47)
Why we want mindshare and how we measure it - langdon(jwf, 08:41:43)
Why is Fedora different and what makes it
different from everything else in this space?(jwf,
08:41:58)
Interactive discussion! Typing into the
Etherpad to answer the questions of what makes Fedora unique to
understand our audience and what we're trying to target(jwf,
08:44:25)
IDEA: jsmith: "People
stick around in Fedora because of the community – all carrot, no
stick"(jwf,
08:47:30)
IDEA: People get
personal satisfaction for contributing to this community(jwf,
08:47:54)
Messaging we want to take to the groups and
identify challenges we want to address or help them address(jwf,
12:03:16)
Ambassador focus: How do we communicate?(jwf, 12:03:59)
IDEA: nb: Document to
explain what something is in layman's terms (e.g. "What is Fedora
CI??")(jwf,
12:05:35)
ambassadors seem to just kind of do what they
have always done and maybe don't always keep themselves up to date
on the current objectives(nb,
12:12:05)
do we do events because we have always done
that event, or do we have a goal for that event(nb,
12:12:19)
Where is this information located? Do we have a
place to go to get links? Is this info translated?(jwf,
12:14:45)
How do we communicate our focus on these
objectives?(jwf,
12:16:42)
IDEA: Ask for more
thought on evaluating requests and alignment with our overall
goals?(jwf,
12:16:54)
IDEA: at some point
those of us here at the mindshare FAD should sign each other's GPG
keys(nb,
12:18:36)
IDEA: Doing the
outreach via the CommBlog, possibly mailing lists(jwf,
12:22:51)
IDEA: Clear,
easy-to-find way to show this is how you interact with us, and if
doesn't have proper level of specificity, what is needed up front to
be successful(jwf,
12:57:54)
IDEA: Every time has a
different workflow process and this needs to be documented (sharing
best practices?)(jwf,
12:59:58)
What do we say in our messaging? (continued)(jwf, 13:01:01)
IDEA: Messaging: As our
charter, we are carrying forward with the work we were created to
do(jwf,
13:04:44)
Offering: New low-friction processes for
release parties and "small" events(jwf,
13:04:58)
Pushing: As the successors to FAmSCo and FOSCo
(and perhaps FAmA?), we will be changing some things(jwf,
13:05:29)
Design: Where does design fit? (continued)(jwf, 13:06:51)
Figuring out why Ambassadors don't produce on
their own and why guidelines are in place with Design; but how to
make design team more accessible?(jwf,
13:07:25)
HELP: Marketing
collateral wiki page is still used as a current resource by
Ambassadors(jwf,
13:07:58)
Standardizing small parties helps standardize
workflow for design team(jwf,
13:10:18)
AGREED: leave
ambassadors seats unfilled until pending discussion about what
defines an ambassador is complete, the representatives will be FAmA
and the other representatives who are also ambassadors(nb,
13:59:52)
we have at least 1 representative from all of
NA, EMEA, and LATAM(nb,
14:00:11)
CommOps is a purely tactical body that focuses
on internal "marketing" (storytelling), measure of engagement
(metrics), and supporting sub-project best practices; CommOps works
with Mindshare to understand strategic aim of our work(jwf,
14:03:32)
AGREED: CommOps will
mostly continue forward with the work we are already doing now but
will not take on the responsibility of driving strategic
planning(jwf,
14:03:41)
ACTION: jwf Move
recent copytext from CommOps wiki page rewrite to describe strategic
goals of Mindshare(jwf,
14:04:02)
