Nice angle — I really like this. I had suggested (or, maybe I glommed
onto someone else's suggestion beacause I like the idea — I forget —
anyway, it was suggested) that Fedora development might benefit from a
"tick-tock" cycle, with one release focusing on process improvements,
and the next release focusing on OS features. People weren't, overall,
comfortable with putting Fedora into that model, I think mostly because
feature changes sometimes come faster than that, but also irregularly.
In any case, though I think this is clearly a "tick" release, with more
process and infrastructure improvements than big change within the
actual distribution.
On a similar note, at FUDCon Lawrence a few years ago, Tim Burke
suggested a "red/yellow/green" model for labeling how much scary change
a release contains. (As an alternative to having major/minor releases.)
I'm not a big fan of that, because I think we're mostly at the point
where even our scary releases are actually very solid and are "green"
in the absolute sense. But from that point of view, this is a "green"
release too. With our current marketing / press model, which relies on
splashy changes to generate talking points, this ironically means the
releases we'd like _most_ to get into the hands of users get less
attention.
So anyway, that's a long way of saying that, yeah, I like the general
idea. I'm not sure a list of technical infrastructure improvements will
play any better with the press than a list of software version bumps,
though. Open to ideas. :)

Beta notes make a good starting point, but I'd say fancy them up _a
lot_. :)

FedMag: SFD Article
by Justin W. Flory
Hey all,
Didn't get a chance to bring this up at the meeting tonight since we
were short on time at the end, but I was wanting to mention the Software
Freedom Day article in the Drafts box.
http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10153&preview=true
Looking through it, it seems mostly content-complete, maybe just needs a
conclusion or wrap up. Is there anything else blocking this article in
its current state? I think it would be a good idea to try to get this
polished ASAP - next Monday will mark the one-month point since SFD
occurred, so maybe we could add this to the agenda for the following
week if we can put the finishing touches on it. If necessary, I'd be
glad to help finish anything left on it or clean it up (although it
might feel a little biased for me to work on it).
Thanks!

Self-Introduction: Justin W. Flory
by Justin W. Flory
Hello all,
I was going through the wiki for joining the marketing group, and
realized that I never formally introduced myself to the list, although
I've been posting intermittently for Fedora Magazine / other misc.
things. So I figured better late than never.
My name is Justin W. Flory and I am currently living in Rochester, NY as
a first-year student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (majoring
in Networking and Systems Administration). My FAS username / IRC nick /
general online handle is jflory7.
I've been lurking in the channels and mailing lists since early 2014 or
so, but after attending this year's Flock in Rochester, I've been trying
to become more active (it was really easy after meeting all of the
awesome people at this year's Flock!) and contribute in any way that I
can to the Fedora Project. So far, I've found myself involved with
marketing activities the most of all the different areas of Fedora, so I
feel like this is the best group for me to join.
This is my second FOSS project that I am looking at contributing
towards. My first project that I spend a good amount of time with is
with the SpigotMC project, which is a Java-based Minecraft server
software. I do not assist with the development, but I am a community
moderator and have a great deal of experience with interacting with the
community over there. Indirectly because of Spigot, that's actually I
stumbled into using Fedora close to two years ago.
This is my first marketing project that I've wanted to participate with,
and I do not have a formal background in marketing, but it is an area
that interests me greatly as I think it's one of the most important
aspects of any project, especially in open-source.
The skills that I hope to be able to utilize in the Fedora Marketing
group are:
- Content Creation (Fedora Magazine, Fedora Planet, etc.)
- University Outreach Initiative (and assisting with any projects /
planning for that initiative if possible)
- I'm also very open to learning new things and acquiring new skills,
particularly in terms of marketing in an open-source project
When I am not working on Fedora, I am a student at RIT (participating in
the university Linux Users Group, the local FOSS community, and more) as
well as running my own Minecraft server and working on other projects
for Spigot (my current task with Spigot is working on migrating our wiki
to a new platform).
A few goals that I have for the Fedora Project are mostly concerned with
the University Outreach Initiative - when I sat in on most of the talks
at Flock about this, they greatly interested me and I wanted to help
spread the awesomeness of free and open-source software and the culture
it represents with other students, and to help make it a more prevalent
concept in education. I'm very interested in working with someone to
organize events not only at RIT, but possibly at other schools in the area.
On that note, I haven't been able to find any official planning area for
work being done on this Initiative, so I was also curious to where
planning or discussion is mostly happening for this initiative.
I am very happy to be a part of this awesome project and the community
that surrounds it. I'm tired of sitting around in the sidelines and I
want to have an active role with helping Fedora to the best of my
abilities. I'm looking forward to working with this group in the near
and long-term future!
Thanks for your time and patience for reading this long email.

--------------------+-------------------------
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a new frontend for the liveusb-creator for a little
while and I'd like to ask for some help and assistance if that's okay
I'm implementing the design done by jimmac [0], not what mizmo has written
in her issue on github, but i keep her remarks in mind.
However, to finish the task, I'm lacking some stuff, or source where to
obtain it, namely:
1) source of marketing text for the products and spins to include in the
app to describe what is provided
2) source of screenshots to download and display below the descriptions
Please see [0] to get a better idea of how the material will be used. Also
please note there will be no other OS or distribution provided (in
contrary to the screenshot). The idea is to show just Workstation, Server
and Cloud along with the possibility to provide your own .iso on the main
page and all the spins and other variants when you unwrap the list.
