Marketing FAD update

Preparations for this are moving right along - everything in this email is also on the wiki page, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010. If you're interested in participating, there's still time - add yourself to the list at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Attendees; if you need travel funding, put your proposal in at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Budget. == Budget == We approved Henrik's travel budget (plane), along with Paul's and Ben's (gas money). IRC logs with rationale and discussion are linked to from the "status" columns in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Budget. == Activities == Right now, I'm trying to get each day of the FAD an owner working on some sort of concrete next-step. You've seen some emails to the list (most recently from Henrik) beginning discussion on this front - see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Agenda for more info. All the days have owners except for Sunday, for which we will be working on the Brand Book - Rahul will be starting discussion on a vision for that shortly, but the day itself does not yet have a leader. Anyone interested in stepping up? (This /can/ be done remotely.) == Current days, topics, owners, and next steps == Saturday: Strategy and Research, Robyn Bergeron. Watching the "target audience" discussion that John Poelstra has started on f-a-b, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2010-January/msg000.... Sunday: Brand Book, No owner yet - please help! Rahul sending a first draft of a vision document to the list. Monday-or-Tuesday: Interviews and filming, Max Spevack. No next step defined yet. The-other-day: PR, Henrik Heigl, with Sakis Samaras helping plan remotely. --Mel
