Hey Ardian!
Took me a lot longer to cycle back on this email than I wanted, but this
is a discussion we should definitely have.
What were your ideas and thoughts on putting together something "final"
to represent the Campus Ambassadors? I am definitely a fan of creating
some fliers or other easily distributable info sheet on the program to
help encourage students at universities to get involved.
As far as internal structure / hierarchy goes, what were your thoughts
on my wiki page draft? Were there any details that seemed questionable
to you or maybe could be reworded? I'm still meaning to edit it and make
the revision that event reports can go on the Community Blog *OR*
personal blogs, as a benefit for personal branding for an Ambassador
(this was discussed in a FAmNA meeting two weeks ago).
For anyone who isn't sure where this draft is, see here:

Other opinions and thoughts are surely welcome on this! Feel free to
chime in if you have ideas or thoughts.

[PROPOSED] [DISCUSS] Marketing FAS Requirements and Activities
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
During the last two weeks' meetings, we discussed membership
requirements and what it should take to be a member. I recall this
coming up again and again, and recalled that it had already been decided
once. The problem is it wasn't recorded!
This is from an email in 2014 following Flock, when Chris Roberts was
"marketing lead":
[Begin Quote]
During Flock we had a talk about being active contributors and
membership in the FAS marketing group and we have come to the following:
To stay active in the FAS group you have to make at least one
contribution during a release schedule, if you have not made any
contributions you will be removed from the FAS group.
We have a lot of inactive members and when I did start to remove people,
I got a lot of feedback from them saying why they were removed. This
happens in the FI-Aprentice group where if you do not reply to an email
each month you are removed. If you are removed from the group and would
like to rejoin that is totally fine, we want to see contribution in
order to be in the group.
I will post this new information on our Marketing wiki page as well.
[End Quote]
Cite here: http://markmail.org/message/qghmwa3mlq745bxw
So my proposal here is that we stick to what's already been agreed and
stop re-re-discussing this.
Note to people who say "but I was busy," "I got married that cycle," "I
was in a coma..." - our response should be "that happens. Contribute
this cycle, and we'll reinstate you," "congratulations! Contribute this
cycle, and we'll reinstate you," and "wow! We're so glad you're OK.
Contribute this cycle, and we'll reinstate you."
In other words: No exceptions.
## What Constitutes a Contribution?
OK, so maybe what constitutes a contribution is unclear. Let's start
with what *isn't* something that gets you over the requirement:
* Saying something on the mailing list.
Just participating in a discussion on the list is *not* a contribution.
So what are some of the things that are contributions?
* Managing talking points for one or more editions, or parts of Fedora
(a spin, a major feature, etc.).
* Writing / compiling a release announcement - or contributing a large
section to a release announcement. [Fixing a comma splice is not really
a significant contribution. Managing a section on the Workstation
Edition is.]
* Working to create one or more flyers or information sheets for an
edition, Fedora overall, etc.
* Substantial work helping clean up the Marketing wiki.
* Creating materials for Fedora Ambassadors for an event, or talking
points for an event or events.
* Any observable significant and useful contribution that moves Fedora
Marketing forward during a release cycle.
* Mentor and bring in new contributors to marketing. We should be
totally good with granting membership to anybody who spends a lot of
time teaching other people the ropes, even if that means their
fingerprints are not as visible on the finished product as if they
created it solo.
## Also Proposed
I hope you've read this far - because I have one more proposal:
* We edit the wiki to remove the "add yourself to the FAS group" bit.

Self-Introduction: James Bishop
by James Bishop
Hello Everyone,
My name is James, and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada (AST). My FAS
username is jamesbishopca, and my IRC username is the_jza. I am
currently a student of marketing and I am set to graduate within the
next couple of months, so I thought the marketing team would be a great
fit. Outside of class, I am a web developer, where I work primarily
with Wordpress and Python.
I have been a user and advocate of Open Source software for more than
15 years, but this is the first time I have formally participated in an
Open Source project. I am looking to move past being a passive consumer
of Open Source software and would like to do my part to help make the
projects I love the best that they can be. I am also a huge proponent
of small business, and would love to see Open Source help
entrepreneurs, especially those just starting out.
The skills I bring to the table are as follows:
Marketing - Marketing Research, Internet Marketing, and Writing
Web Development - Python/Flask, Wordpress, MongoDB, and MySQL
Some things I would like to do are promote the use of Fedora and other
Open Source software within my local community, especially among
students and small businesses. I'm also interested in marketing
research. That being said, I am willing to help out in any way I can.
If anyone has advice on some tasks I can get started with, please let
me know.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to getting to know you all.
Regards,
James

To help sort our mailing list posts in our inboxes, I thought it would be
a helpful addition to add a [Marketing] prefix before the subject lines in
our mailing list.
If we agree on this, we can request for a mailing list administrator to
add this.
