Proposing that we meet weekly until Fedora 9 is released, as we have a
bit of catch-up work to do.
When is a good time to meet?
We like using #fedora-meeting, but that limits our times just a bit[1].
Over the next week(s) we can expect to see self-intros from a few of the
Red Hat marketing professionals who are passionate about helping Fedora.
We'll want their input on when to meet, since their participation is
vital to us kicking our marketing to the next level.
First meeting topics:
* What needs to be done and who is doing it?
- Marketing Plan
- Let's get a strawman list together before meeting
* Dividing up the work on the Messaging Guide[2]
* How do we want to track tasks? wiki list v. Trac
* Other?

To reply to what Karsten said... we had a little meeting here in the
corporate marketing department at Red Hat about Fedora marketing. We
didn't get very far until it was suggested that we push this all out in
the open and have a discussion about everything we need to do to get
Fedora 9 out there and, in turn, build a structure that will work in the
future. We brainstormed a little and came up with many questions about
everything from logistics and money to what does Fedora stand for... I'm
sure this will generate just as much response.
This can cover pretty much anything we want it to regarding Fedora
marketing. That's up to the discussion. I agreed (and threw myself into
the fire) to lead the discussion on IRC and try to organize all the
conversations that are happening. You've probably noticed other members
of our team joining the list and I know John has introduced himself
already.
Anyway, the point is: we want to help. We want to get organized and are
committed to having the next launch go off with as much organization and
backing as possible. We want this to continue with future launches as well.
So, I propose we have our meeting sometime mid next week - say Wednesday
at 2EST? We can have it on #fedora-mktg if that's fine with everyone.
I look forward to hearing from you all and working with everyone to get
this moving.

Sounds like an awesome idea to me :)

This should be good for me,

This should be good for me,
The #fedora-meeting channel looks clear then -- 1900 UTC. Since many
people log there but might not otherwise see #fedora-mktg, might not be
bad to use the conventional meeting place.

So, I propose we have our meeting sometime mid next week - say
Wednesday
at 2EST? We can have it on #fedora-mktg if that's fine with everyone.
Although I used to feel differently, I'm now in favor of using
#fedora-meeting, despite the scheduling challenges. It raises the
visibility of the work and gets discussions in front of many more people
(lurkers) than having it on a stand-alone channel.
With that, for Wed. the available time slots[1] are:
1600 UTC (1 pm EST)
1900 UTC (4 pm EST) (oops, Colby and I have a conflict then)
*sigh* Looks like it's time for #fedora-marketing-too (or something.)
Alternately, we can do as you suggest and meet on #fedora-mktg for a
while ... maybe that is the best plan for now while we get things going.

So I'm not the only person who stumbles on the time -- although I
probably do it way more often. :-) 1900 UTC == 1400/2pm EST, 1100/11am
PST. Does that make it better?
