Hi Dhanesh! You are not an unfamiliar face, so I will skip over some
of
the usual formalities. Welcome to the Marketing mailing list, and sorry
for my slow reply. :)
Thank you! :)
Since you are looking to pick up some new skills and don't have
any
formal background in Marketing, you might want to flip through some of
the Pagure tickets we have open to get a feel for "what's happening" in
Marketing. I structured the Marketing workflow similar to CommOps, so it
shouldn't be too unfamiliar to you.

I'll definitely go through all the tickets and see if there is anything I can help
with.
Right now, we're currently gearing up for the final release of
Fedora
25. Part of this will include drafting of the final release
announcements for the Magazine / announce mailing list. I also think it
could be a helpful thing if there were some "feature profiles" of new
things coming in Fedora 25 on the Fedora Magazine.
Need to study the release changelog to be able to do that.
However, there is more to Marketing than only writing. One of the
things
I've been wanting to do for a long time, but have lacked the cycles to
manage such a thing, is a marketing campaign specific to university
students. A campaign like this would need to consider a number of
different factors and would require some creative planning and
brainstorming. If this is something interesting to you, I'd love to find
some time to talk about it, factor it into the EDU Talking Points that
we've started to discuss in CommOps, and determine the steps necessary
to craft an effective and engaging campaign to university students
globally (although it would be more effective use of our time to target
individual regions first, especially where we have the contributors to
do so).
I love this idea! I'll be around for another week before I head off to prepare for my
examination. So we can have a chat whenever you find some free time in the coming week.
This may have turned into a more detailed or starry-eyed sort of idea
than a proper welcome email, but I'd love to find a way to get you
involved in Marketing with something personally interesting and engaging
to you.
This is super exciting! :D
Hope this helps provide some insight and direction. :) Let us know if
you have any questions beyond this. Thanks!
No questions at the moment but I won't feel shy to post here if there are any. ;)
