Marketing FAD page all nicely archived
by Mel Chua
Ok, I'm done now.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010 is all archive-tastic.
Blog posts, logs, and short summaries of what we accomplished on each
day - along with next-steps - are all in there, plus links to major
deliverables. Please take a moment, check it out, read the notes, read
the blog posts, see if it's missing anything...
...and I no longer trust myself to look at this page with a clear head,
so if someone else could take a look, then blog about this to Planet if
it seems complete to you - that would be awesome.
As a side note, I moved the planning material to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010_planning (and linked
the two pages) so people planning events in the future can see how we
did it this time.
I'll be peeking in on the FAD action items status at meetings to see how
we're doing with 'em.

Weekly Fedora Insight Sprint/Meetings
by Pascal Calarco
Hi Logistics, Marketing and News teams --
We've heard from almost all of the peeps who've been involved with
Fedora Insight[1], and we have two slots open where everyone can make
it, although Hiemanshu has requested that we prefer 18:00 UTC or
earlier, and so between Mondays 20:00 UTC and Thursdays 18:00 UTC, we'll
pick the earlier time.
Mike McGrath encourages us to finish up the infrastructure/logistics
components of this, as these get frozen well in advance of the F13
launch, so we should focus on outstanding issues for packaging for
staging first.
#fedora-meeting is available at this time, so I have booked this[2] and
also moved the old Zikula implementation meeting, which was Wednesdays
14:00 UTC.
I'll spend some time this afternoon doing some wiki gardening on the
existing Fedora Insight page, as at last week's Marketing FAD we also
thought it mighty long in the tooth for ideal access.
Its not too late to join us, just hit the Doodle poll below to let us
know your interest and availability going forward.
See you Thursday at 14:00 UTC #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net!

FAD review
by wonderer
Hy there,
I think we all agree that this first Marketing FAD was a full success
for all of us and many great work has been done at the FAD and we all
have a good basis of data to work on.
Also I want to thank Mel, Paul and Max who made this great event
possible for us all! Great job! Then I would like to thank ALL you great
guys and girls at the FAD and also the remote attendees.
I added a small part at the bottom of
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#notes_for_next_FAD for
upcoming MKTG FADs for (if even possible) some kind of improvement.
Hope we all see us soon at next events... rock it!
mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

SystemTap podcast numbers
by Paul W. Frields
At yesterday's weekly meeting I said I would look up the statistics
from the podcast I did for the F12 release on SystemTap features. We
had about 750 downloads from about 150 unique IP addresses for that
podcast.
I would estimate I spent about 6-8 hours total on creating it,
including the interview, editing, and helping write the press blog
around it. If doing one again, I would measure it as being successful
if I could at lesat double that number. If not, I'd be disinclined to
do another for the F14 cycle.
One of the steps we should take now is finding out the venues where we
can publish these podcasts for highest visibility in the interim until
Insight is ready to handle offering them. Anyone producing one of
these should expect them, once approved/posted, to show up in searches
on various popular podcast directories.

F13 Feature profile - HW Enablements in F13 - Help / Contacts request
by Robyn Bergeron
Greetings all,
I'm going to be working on the Feature Profile / Interview for
hardware enablements in F13.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_feature_profiles
Can anyone suggest a few contacts that I can get in touch with who
might be interested in being interviewed?
The basic summary of this profile is as follows -
This feature profile hits Freedom, Features, and First - and Friends
by way of how some of these were collaboratively engineered. The
talking points covered in this feature profile will include
"experimental 3D extended to free Nouveau driver," "print driver
installation," and "color management."
Thanks,
Robyn

Talking_points and TalkingPoints.... wiki page questions
by Robyn Bergeron
We have two wiki pages titled Talking points...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points, which is a category
containing the SOP, template, and historical itemized Talking Points
that are written specifically for each cycle, and also
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/TalkingPoints - which is more
of a high-level list of talking points that Ambassadors can use which
are more "permanent" in nature and speak more to Fedora's vision,
community, etc. than they do to very specific improvements and
features.
Here are my multiple questions:
#1) I don't have a problem with leaving these pages named as they are
- they both are truly sets of Talking points. Would it be helpful to
at least link into the page the fact that - "Hey, you may be looking
for the -other- talking points" - particularly for people who may be
landing on these wiki pages via search?
#2) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/TalkingPoints This page -
which i think is primarily used by Ambassadors, I'm not sure who else
may use it - has not been updated since Feb. 2009. While I think this
page should be fairly stable - we do have a lot of things listed in
this section, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/TalkingPoints#Why_Is_the_Fedora_P...
--- which we could probably revisit from cycle to cycle. Do we have
anything important to add as far as "developments in free and open
software," are the spins listed still applicable, are the derivative
distributions still applicable?
Additionally - should this be added as a separate line item task each
cycle as "Something we need to double check for continuing validity,"
and then - who should the owner be? Obviously it seems to fall under
the "marketing" hat right now - just by looking at the URL hierarchy -
but is this something that the Ambassadors might want to be the owner
of instead? Or - at the bare minimum - do the Ambassadors want to be
notified of when ANYTHING is changed here, so that word can be spread?

Marketing FAD 2010
by Mel Chua
All the logs and blog posts - to my knowledge - have been linked to from
this section:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Event_Reports
If you know something I'm missing, please go link it in!
Now to summarize everything, sweep through gobby docs, and mark the page
complete. /me yawns. Why must I always get into these grooves past 3:30
in the morning?

Limesurvey: no tcpdf patch
by David Nalley
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Everyone - just to keep everyone in the loop.
Ryan and I were looking at LimeSurvey tonight, specifically at tcpdf.
We saw this conversation:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-fonts-list/2009-November/msg00017....
So - long story short - tcpdf bundles it's own utility applications
and scores of fonts, which results in LOTS of extra packaging based on
the above email.
So Ryan, essentaily patched Limesurvey to not do printable surveys.
This isn't a problem with Fedora's use of Limesurvey, but might be for
others. It needs to be done - but is a TON of work. I am sending this
mail on his behalf because of his mail server fail.
his patch is here:

Limesurvey - Plowing ahead!
by Robyn Bergeron
All -
I'd really like to start nailing down some of our "next steps" for
Limesurvey deployment. We seem to have a lot of bits of information
floating around but nothing cohesive defining what the steps are to
getting it out the door. Since we're getting really close to having
Fedora Insight deployed (YAY!!) I think it's a good time to define
what our plan will be for getting another important piece of marketing
infrastructure up and running; once people have more time freed up, we
can actually start plowing through the task list.
I think it would be wise to have an hour-long IRC meeting to discuss
the following:
* A briefing on what our plan of action should be to get any of the
limesurvey packages that have issues (for those not in the loop - some
of the packages have been forked / modified from their originals, for
various reason) into a state where they can be used. Some background
here on "what has already happened and what we've already discovered"
would be helpful, both in the meeting and then documented in wiki
form; we don't want anyone wasting cycles on reinventing the wheel.
* Figuring out some timelines - how long will packaging / fixing of
packages realistically take, how long to develop the instructions for
the Infrastructure team to get it into testing / deployment, etc. I've
probably skipped over some things here, so I'm counting on those who
are more Zen than I with infrastructure deployments to hit me with the
cluebat here.
* Getting owners for any tasks that we come up with.
* Getting owners for documenting the actual plan of action /
background information / etc. on the wiki in the near-term time frame.
I have added some framework around "what the next steps are" on the
wiki - please take a look.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Things_to_do_to_finish_Limesurvey
This is the wiki page where we had previously just been tracking the
individual bz's for limesurvey packages - it makes the most sense to
add in a timeline for packaging and deployment here (imho).
There are probably task items I've missed - if so, please add to the wiki.
If anyone is interested in working on any of the steps listed - or if
anyone has thoughts, etc. - just respond to this mail, and I'll try
and work out an agreeable time with those interested for an IRC
meeting, which would probably be in the next 2 weeks. Most of our
regular marketing meetings will be revolving around F13 marketing
deliverables for the next few weeks and I don't want to interrupt
taking care of those deliverables... but at the same time, I don't
want to push limesurvey progress out to F28 time frame. :)
Additionally - I've gone in and made a new custom report in the
marketing trac instance for Limesurvey, and added Limesurvey as a
component in trac. (This means that tickets / tasks can actually be
assigned as Limesurvey tickets, rather than just as a general
marketing ticket.) There are no tickets currently (save for the one I
created to make sure the query I made was actually working) - but I
would like to utilize trac for keeping track (har har) of all the
associated Limesurvey tasks. The list of available reports for
marketing's Trac instance is at
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/report - just click on
Limesurvey to see where all the future tasks will be! (Sorry, I feel
awesome whenever I figure out how to do something more technically
advanced than writing wiki pages. :D)
Also - David, I know you pointed me upwards in logs to a discussion
you had with someone from limesurvey on IRC at some point in the past
few days - it's long since scrolled off of my IRC backlog, as well as
my memory. Can you bring everyone up to speed on what he had to say?
I think it was mostly a background / why limesurvey forked things
explanation.
Thanks everyone!!
