Can we have tomorrow's meeting 2 hours early?
by Jack Aboutboul
Hello All,
We are scheduled to have our regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow. The
agenda will be talking about the future of marketing and plans, titled
Project FooBar, about which you will see an email soon.
I was wondering however, if people didn't mind, if we can have the
meeting 2 hours early tomorrow, so 18.00 UTC instead of 20.00UTC because
this week is pretty hectic with different stuff to do and I need to be
in a meeting tomorrow at 4pm.
If people agree then I can go ahead and send out a preliminary reminder
today.
Thanks,
Jack

Here is a really successful project from where I live that Fedora might
benefit from.
http://calagator.org/
http://code.google.com/p/calagator/
It is different from the traditional "calendaring/Outlook" type solution
that has been under discussion, but it is extremely easy for people to
add events to and for others to query and get updates from (RSS and ical
feeds).
Maybe it would be useful for a small segment of our project like weekly
team meetings. It could also be used on much larger scale for Fedora
events around the world.
John

Fedora Marketing TNG: Project FooBar
by Jack Aboutboul
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to keep people posted as to what's going on in Marketing and
the outcome of my trip to Westford last week. As many of you know, I've
been thinking about what the next steps we need to take in Fedora
Marketing should be. I feel that we have come along way in terms of
improving process and that we can go even further while also putting a
fresh spin on things. For some time there has been discussion of a
"Fedora Magazine" concept; this goes back a couple of years. I really
liked the idea and it sort of stuck in my mind all these years and I was
thinking we can centralize things around that format. I had a few rough
ideas for kickstarting this, but mainly my motivations were to solidify
policies and process for what content Marketing creates, who we create
it for, the content creation schedule, and how we distribute it.
Last week, I went up to Westford to and I met with Mo and Mel and
Stephen Smoogen who was in the house for a visit. We ran through a
bunch of ideas and goals for Marketing's future and the idea of a Fedora
journal/magazine type setup. The results can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Project_FooBar. Mo came up
with the name, lol.
There are 5 main goals that we are striving for as you can read on the
wiki page. Centralization of Content, well scheduled, recurring and
prepared content, design which is consistent with the philosophy of the
Design team, standardized "official" feeds for distribution of different
forms of content, mechanisms for localization and sharing the media with
press or on social news sites.
Feel free to read the wiki page and add/edit, etc. I would like to know
what people think of this type of format, and I know people will have
many question so I would like those to be voiced now so that we can
answer them and make sure we are working to build something that is
useful for the community with input from the community.
If anyone has any comments, please feel free to email me/respond to list.

recording more metrics and doing more data mining about Fedora
by Ian Weller
I'm starting up a project to help everybody in Fedora by combining
statistical (not personal!) data retrieved from FAS, repositories in
Fedora Hosted, mailing lists, translations, and whatever else we can
possibly get our hands on to produce reports that help us see trends in
the activity of contributors, both new and old.
With this project, we'll be better able to understand the effects of
certain marketing techniques or development on what we can measure as
"activity" within the project. Other advantages may be seen as well.
Now, I'm simply starting this -- I don't have any shiny graphs to show
you just yet. But what I do need people to do is let me know what sort
of statistics would help them with what they do. It is also beneficial
to include things that we are already getting statistics on, or that we
previously received statistics for, so that these can all be integrated
into the same system.
Here's where to submit your ideas:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Data_mining_use_cases
I'll be mostly AFK until the next weekend is over, so please surprise me
with your ideas :) If you have any questions, please get in touch with
me.

Fedora 11 Review
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://on-disk.com/cms/index.php?wiki=Review-Fedora_11_page1
"In the past I would have never recommended Fedora for someone new to
Linux. Fedora 11 is a different story entirely. Fedora 11 is easy to
use, fast, rock solid, and loaded with features others just don't have.
If you happen to have a slow Internet connection or service where you
pay based upon bandwidth usage, it's currently the most reasonable
choice available...at least until others can adapt the Presto technology
into their package management systems.
When a cutting-edge development team is able to bring together a release
with this many features, and have it perform so extraordinarily well
it's really something special. An excellent and inspiring job everyone!"
