20:03:18 <rbergeron> #topic Who wants to be my backup for marketing meetings on 8/3 and 8/10?
20:03:46 <rbergeron> Soooo - I'm looking for someone who is interested in possibly running meetings the next 2 weeks - I'll hopefully be to Wyoming by this time next week, but may be still on the road.
20:04:03 <rrix> rbergeron: I can pick them up
20:04:06 <rbergeron> And then I'm driving home the following Tuesday, or maybe it's wednesday... but I'll be on VA CAY SHUN, so I may need someone.
20:04:10 <rbergeron> rrix: thank you, sir. :)
20:04:29 <rbergeron> #action rrix is my hero and will run meetings in my absence 8/3 and 8/10 if i don't show up
20:04:50 <rbergeron> #topic F14 Marketing Schedule
20:05:05 <rrix> I'm everyone's hero
20:05:20 <rbergeron> yes, yes, you are.
20:05:31 <rbergeron> #link http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/f-14-marketing-tasks.html
20:05:47 <rbergeron> #info we have Talking Points starting next week, and Release slogan starting the following week.
20:05:57 <rbergeron> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points
20:06:09 <rbergeron> And actually - it looks like we've already started populating the Talking Points.
20:06:23 <rbergeron> thank you, dramsey :)
20:06:30 <rrix> woo!
20:07:44 <leoboulton> newbie question: are tasks owned by volunteers? or how do they get to be "assigned"?
20:07:58 <rbergeron> leoboulton: excellent question.
20:08:30 <rbergeron> So - all tasks are volunteer-owned - if you are willing to step up to the plate, we'll let you at it (and give you help as much as you need).
20:09:01 <rrix> (and if no one steps up rbergeron is mean and assigns it to whomever she doesn't like</joking>) ;)
20:09:08 <rbergeron> There are no assignments - but we do all try to pitch in and realize that things do need to get done, and that we also all (to some extent) have lives :)
20:09:41 <rbergeron> yes, if nobody else volunteers, I give it to ke4qqq, who finds someone else to delegate it to. :)
20:09:44 * rbergeron kids
20:10:06 <rbergeron> It really is all volunteers - people try to pitch in as they have time.
20:10:35 <rbergeron> So - for Talking Points, in the past, it's something we've done partially on IRC, and then taken time as we all can to fill in content on the wiki page.
20:11:16 <leoboulton> :)
20:11:17 <leoboulton> OK... I'll have to look at those tasks then.... I was checking out the talking points yesterday.... it seems like that one is collectively worked on.
20:11:17 <leoboulton> OK... I'm learning.... thanks for the patience... :)
20:11:44 <rbergeron> When we get to release slogans - that is something where a lot of the people in the community participate, and marketing comes down to making a final selection together in an IRC meeting.
20:12:35 <rbergeron> Essentially - some tasks are done more easily solo, others -have- to be done in groups, and most are able to be done in a "participate as you can / have time" type of way - this works especially well for things done on the wiki, which have multiple parts / steps / bits of content.
20:12:54 <rbergeron> NP :) We try to not make things too difficult for new contributors to jump in on.
20:13:03 <rbergeron> As an FYI - in the marketing deliverables section of teh wiki
20:13:22 <rbergeron> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing#Release_deliverables
20:13:36 <rbergeron> You'll see an SOP for each item - that's short for Standard Operating Procedure
20:14:13 <rbergeron> it's basically a "how-to" guide for each deliverable we do - the goal being to make it as easy as possible for a newcomer to be able to do the work successfully, without having to reinvent the wheel.

20:15:33 <rbergeron> https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/33 - Free Media distribution, yn1v - still plugging away on this one?
20:16:09 <rbergeron> rrix, have you seen nourishedcloud on lately?
20:17:04 * rbergeron pokes at rrix
20:17:28 <leoboulton> Got it... I've been doing a lot of reading since Friday.... I got to those SOPs. Thanks for the welcome and info!.... I don't want to monopolize the meeting :)
20:17:28 <leoboulton> my plan is to spend some more time looking at those tasks... hopefuly by the next meeting I can see what I can definitely take the lead on....
20:17:29 * rrix sighs at his internets :<
20:17:29 <rrix> rbergeron: on identi.ca...
20:17:29 <rrix> lemme poke him on xmpp
20:17:35 <rbergeron> stickster: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/123 - send out notices for ublog account changes
20:17:46 <yn1v> rbergeron, freemedia is fine... the problem is with distribution
20:18:23 <rbergeron> leoboulton: that's a great idea.  and honestly - next week with the Talking Points is a good place to get started with some small contributions, and be able to get help, get more familiarized witht he wiki, etc.
20:18:41 <rrix> rbergeron: message luke -> luke is now marked as away
20:18:52 <rbergeron> yn1v: distribution... in what way?
20:18:57 <rbergeron> you mean the actual distribution of it?
20:19:38 <stickster> rbergeron: I can send final notice today
20:19:48 <stickster> rbergeron: Sorry, in a PM convo with someone trying to solve a problem
20:19:59 <rbergeron> stickster: np
20:20:17 <yn1v> Looking how to fill some gaps in distribution pages.
20:20:49 <rbergeron> yn1v: when you get a chance, do you wantt o detail some of those gaps in the ticket?
20:21:26 <rbergeron> maybe we can try and find a few people to help fix that up.
20:22:29 <rbergeron> ianweller: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/107 --- how goes your universe of branding
20:23:24 * rbergeron pokes ianweller with a jolt of caffeine
20:24:30 <rbergeron> okay.
20:24:44 <rbergeron> oh, there goes the channel.
20:26:44 * rbergeron waits patiently for everything to rejoin
20:26:44 <rrix> oh hello other side of the netsplit :)
20:27:10 <rbergeron> oh hai?
20:27:16 <rbergeron> rrix, ianweller, you kids alive?
20:27:53 <rbergeron> no, still lagged.
20:28:46 <rbergeron> oh hai, you said that 2 mintes ago in my other screen
20:30:45 <rbergeron> okay.
20:30:46 <rbergeron> wow
20:31:31 <rbergeron> okay - I'm going to officially call this meeting. Since we can't talk to each other. ;) stickster - drop us a line on the list and let us know if we're kosher to close the microblogging ticket now that we're all migrated.
