Comment (by woohuiren):
Just some thoughts:
What defines active participation?
For me, I'm living in the Asia region (specifically, Singapore) and it is
not very possible to attend meetings due to timezone differences. However,
I do read marketing list emails and meeting minutes. Due to that, I do not
think that being unable to attend meetings should be considered
"inactive".
I do not respond to most of the emails unless I feel I have something I
can contribute (less noise is good). So occasional replies should be
considered as "active participation".
Other than that, I'm also doing local marketing (Twitter, meetups [this is
more of ambassador], Facebook and blog [fedora planet]). I think these
small activities should be considered as "active participation". It should
not just be limited to Fedora Magazine blogging; Fedora Planet blogging
should also be considered as active participation.
The Join page should be evaluated and seen if anything can be updated
or
added.
I've seen on the IRC meeting logs that someone has suggested a "review
process". I'm all for it but do take note that some folks might not have
contributed anything in the past and they want to start off. So how are we
going to evaluate this specific group of people's passion?
What else can we "show" as what Marketing is working on
currently?
Upcoming events, to-do stuff. We can suggest marketing ideas on the
mailing list (FOSS ASIA, Tech In Asia) and if accepted, wiki page should
be updated accordingly. Lots of manual work but if there's a better way to
do it, I'm all for it.

Suggestion:
Overall, I think Fed Marketing has done an excellent job with marketing
but what about onboarding new members or perhaps just get folks to
contribute to other Fed stuff? Should we hold an annual marketing event
where we try to get people to contribute to Fedora... or?
