Greetings all, The basis for this email comes from discussions in the marketing meeting earlier today; logs aren't posted (yet), but in a nutshell it was more or less a brainstorming sprint on what projects we (marketing) would like to tackle for F13. The brainstorming list is also getting written up in wiki form, so that will be forthcoming as well, but I'm going to write while it's still in my brain... Are there specific overall goals for F13 posted / written down / being discussed? Or is this something being discussed at fudcon? The only reference I could find was in a sticksterblogpost (http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=2848). The reason I ask is because...it would be ideal to really tie what we are doing to the higher goals of Fedora. Not necessarily doing one-off projects / tasks - although those certainly are awesome too, especially if we discover that they are super valuable or well-received - but more really ensuring that we are coming up with ideas / tasks that assist in reaching F13 goals. Of course, some of these are fairly simple; I'd assume that "getting F13 out the door by XYZ date" is a goal of sorts, and the straightforward marketing work we do - one-page release notes, in-depth features, etc. ties in with that. But there are, I'd hope, some higher, not entirely black-and-white goals - perhaps things like "increasing user base," or something similar - where we should be picking tasks to help drive us on the big, happy road towards that end goal. So as we drill down towards a final task list, I think (now, where'd I put my soapbox? :D) that it would be great to have those goals out there - if we have them - to help us prioritize what we, as a marketing team, would like to do. Because while we seem to have endless ideas, unfortunately, we do not have infinite time and other resources (money, caffeine, and so forth) - and I would love to see the awesome brainpower and resources we do have be put to the most effective use. And if there aren't goals out there yet - are they forthcoming? :) -Robyn
