  5. Tickets (jwf, 14:10:44)
    1. https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issues?tags=meeting (jwf, 14:10:48)
    2. === Ticket #242: "Update release activity steps / process on the wiki" === (jwf, 14:10:56)
    3. https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/242 (jwf, 14:11:00)
    4. IDEA: One-page release notes: We are creating release notes, but a one-page deliverable (adapted from FPL's release announcement? something more unique / targeted?) to share with Ambassadors could improve communication of info to Ambassadors and better equip them for events to talk about a new release (jwf, 14:24:12)
    5. IDEA: Background modules: Pulling info about Fedora itself, similar to FPL's "State of Fedora" talk data about project metrics for approximate growth, both technical and community? (jwf, 14:25:07)
    6. IDEA: Creating the press kit in a git forge to encourage community participation and engagement to help expose the content (jwf, 14:33:10)
    7. IDEA: Feature modules: Individually crafted PDFs based off of release notes / meta points / other things we want to highlight to wider press audience (jwf, 14:35:52)
    8. IDEA: Past press coverage: Currently happening in meeting announcements as "In the news", but could be extracted to the press kit in a file that is maintained during the release and kept current (jwf, 14:39:52)
    9. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Python_brochure (jwf, 14:40:53)
    10. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/SXSW_Materials#Brochures (bkp, 14:41:24)
    11. IDEA: Integrating targeted brochures / flyers into the press kit especially as a deliverable for Ambassadors to use at events (jwf, 14:43:12)
    12. ACTION: jwf Start mailing list thread about using a git forge for maintaining and creating a press kit for our release cycle activities (jwf, 14:49:31)
    13. AGREED: Stopping point: Creating a mock press kit repository to demo the idea of where we create our release activities, with the long-term intent to possibly adopt this as a permanent part of the Marketing release cycle activities and updating our documentation to reflect that (jwf, 14:50:50)
    14. === Ticket #245: "Create Fedora 26 talking points" === (jwf, 14:51:30)
    15. https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/245 (jwf, 14:51:34)
    16. Eduard put a full list of our Labs, Spins, and DNF repository groups. He also proposed a small list of target audiences we could start with, and try to filter down for how we want to approach this release's talking points. (jwf, 14:51:39)
    17. AGREED: Will move the discussion about trimming the list to our channel to free up the meeting channel (jwf, 14:58:16)
    18. === Ticket #248: " Create an education-focused marketing campaign" === (jwf, 14:58:27)
    19. https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/248 (jwf, 14:58:32)
