Any feedback or thoughts? What do folks think makes the most sense in terms of "ordering" the news that we want to get out? What's a good thing to start with? How do we keep momentum and vary the news between different types of users? etc. --Max On Wed, 6 May 2009, Max Spevack wrote: > Jack and I just spoke about the in-depth-feature and podcast rollout > plan as part of the lead-up to Fedora 11. > > I'm going to summarize the general plan that we discussed here for > any comments.

Jack and I just spoke about the in-depth-feature and podcast rollout plan as part of the lead-up to Fedora 11. I'm going to summarize the general plan that we discussed here for any comments. Jack, note that I've made a few tweaks from what we discussed on the phone. All news is slated to hit at 10:00 AM EDT (UTC -4). We should try to get news pieces out on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, leading up to the final release. TODOs: (1) Start determining the focus of each date's news, and filling in the schedule.

(2) Determine what the "release news about FOO" process actually looks like -- coordination w/ Planet, announce-list, News Distribution Network, Paul Frields, and Caroline Kazmerski.

(3) Wikify this stuff.

I also think we should try to ensure that the subject of the podcast has a chance to give the edited version a listen prior to its release, just to give it a +1 or recommend any changes.

Come tomorrow morning when we release the news (and every morning that we release news), what is the plan? What is being sent to blogs, mailing lists, and the news distribution network? How is the NDN being coordinated? We need to sort out these details because we will be repeating this process a number of times in the next 2 weeks.

Hopefully this will be ready with enough time to let Richard listen to it and give it a +1.
