by Marketing Team
#219: Create Python talking points for Ambassadors
---------------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: jflory7 | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 23
Component: Talking Points | Severity: urgent
Keywords: python, nextmeeting | Blocked By:
Blocking: |
---------------------------------+------------------------
Originally discussed in a
[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2016-March/019027.html
cross-posted mailing list thread].
= What =
As was identified by mattdm at DevConf CZ (and earlier discussions),
Python, Python developers, and Python communities are a major target
audience for Fedora in 2016. Ambassadors are encouraged to attend and
promote Fedora in these communities and share how Fedora makes working
with Python easier, more effective, etc. However, we are not sending them
out with any documented talking points! Marketing can help with this area.
= How =
We have a limited set of resources from the past we can work with. Ruth
pointed out on the list that there is an existing
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Python_brochure Python brochure]
that was created, but the information on it is old, outdated, and it needs
some touching up.
== Brochure update ==
The solution to this I proposed on the list was:
1. Identify "hot topics" of Python and create a list.
* "What makes Python so great on Fedora?"
* "How is working on Python in Fedora easier than other distros?"
* "What tools and resources does Fedora offer for Python developers?"
* "What kind of support is there for Python developers in the project?"
* "I'm a Python developer and want to help contribute. What can I do to
help?"
2. Submitting a ticket on the Design Team Trac with this info and a
request to update the flyer for distribution in 2016.
== Building our resources ==
Like was mentioned on the list, there are not many resources available
showing or teaching how Fedora is Python-friendly. Perhaps working with
our Infrastructure team to get a list of some of the hottest Python
projects they have and using this as a base is in our interest.
= When =
This is an urgent need. Our Ambassadors either are going out or will be
going out to Python events soon across the world and providing them with
the resources to effectively market Python + Fedora is the first step.
* **Tentative Due Date**: End of March, absolute *latest*
= Open Discussion =
Thoughts, ideas, or ways we can tackle this are welcome. I am intending to
add this ticket to the
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Marketing_meeting_2016-03-02
2016-03-02 Marketing meeting agenda].

[Magazine] Peer review, featured image needed on single sign-on
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all,
Alexander Bokovoy (ab) recently wrote an article titled, "Single sign-on
improvements in Fedora 24". The article covers a lot of topics about
FreeIPA, SSSD, and many other cool technologies available in F24.
This was supposed to go out early this week, but I haven't been around
as much this week because of university finals. I had a chance to edit
it today and give it a solid read-over. I've applied all my edits to the
article, but I would appreciate it if someone else could do a peer
review on the content as well and make sure it's ready to ship.
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=12766&preview=1&_ppp=ca14e2bdcc
Lastly, this article also needs a featured image. We were going to try
to push it today, but I'd like to get a featured image for it first so
it looks prettier on publication, but also so it doesn't break
start.fedoraproject.org.
Thanks in advance!

To Do Article Review
by Matt Harwood
Hi all,
I just wanted to check in and see if everyone was happy with the GNOME
To Do article we discussed at Thursday's meeting:
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=12796&preview=true
There was mention of scheduling it for publishing Monday morning, so I
thought I'd double check if that was still the plan?
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
