Hi, my name is Dhanesh B. Sabane and I live in Pune, Maharashtra, India. My Fedora Account
System (FAS) username is dhanesh95, and my IRC nick is also dhanesh95.
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through Justin Flory and am interested in
joining because it seemed like an interesting place. I'm already a CommOps member and
I'm also working on packaging a Python library.
I've worked in open source and/or Free Software in the past. The communities I've
been involved with, include Mozilla and local Linux User Group.
My skills:
Marketing skills:
* None :P My background is in Computer Engineering and hence I'm hoping to learn some
new skills here.
Other skills:
*Soccer player
*Musician
Please help me get started!

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. :)
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.
https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issues
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.
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).
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.
Hope this helps provide some insight and direction. :) Let us know if
you have any questions beyond this. Thanks!

I'll definitely go through all the tickets and see if there is anything I can help
with.

Need to study the release changelog to be able to do that.

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 is super exciting! :D

No questions at the moment but I won't feel shy to post here if there are any. ;)

Excellent! I'll try to find some time to hash this out with you as a
starting point, and see what we come with as far as ideas and
implementation goes... the important thing for this will be breaking
this task into reachable goals and objectives, and ways to monitor and
check on progress. :)
If IRC proves too difficult (which it might for me this week), we can
try to hash out some ideas on the mailing list!
