Hi,

I've volunteered to help kick off and facilitate the Fedora cross-team CMS (Zicula) planning and implementation meetings. I think things will work best if each team puts forth a representative. We will hold our meetings on IRC or over Fedora Talk and they will be open to anyone, but it will make it easier to schedule and coordinate the meetings if I know who the key people from each team are.

I believe the key teams we need representatives from are: Documentation, Design, and Marketing. Are there any others?

Once I know who the key people are I'll reach out to those people to find a meeting time and day that works best. I'd like to get a response by Thursday, June 25, 2009, so we can kick things off. Thanks, John

There are a handful of people I can think of that should be included in these meetings: David Nalley (ke4qqq), Simon Birtwistle (itbegins) (who is with Zikula), and myself.

I think Talk would be a good solution so we aren't waiting for typed responses. We can capture the notes on Gobby to post on the wiki so people can be reminded of their particular tasks.

I understood the scope to have been previously defined. I'm coming to this at the request of a few people who asked me to help with the "project management" part of "completing the whole thing" and making sure all the different interested and affected groups have a voice and a venue to participate. So I'm admittedly arriving late with the understood goal of helping to facilitate the process of GTD (getting things done). Eric C. and David N., do I have a correct understanding of what you want my help with? > AIUI, the scope still is this: > > 1. Zikula is rolling out to cover docs.fp.o; > 2.

I was under the impression this was already understood on the different teams since representatives from each team would come to the meetings. How can I be clearer about the purpose? >> We will hold our >> meetings on IRC or over Fedora Talk a > > IRC++ > IRC seems to be the overwhelming winner.
