You here? 14:08:22 If it's just three of us, should we move forward? 14:08:43 I think we should 14:09:08 I agree. It's mostly status updates, we can do the marketing retrospective next week. 14:09:12 bkp: go ahead. 14:09:20 Onwards. 14:09:26 #topic Announcements 14:09:34 #info === In the news: "Fedora 25 Linux arrives with Wayland display support" === 14:09:37 #link http://www.zdnet.com/article/fedora-25-linux-arrives-with-wayland-display-support/ 14:09:40 #info "So when Matthew Miller, the Fedora Project Leader, says "the Fedora operating system seeks to deliver the latest innovations in the world of free and open-source software to our users", he's not making an idle promise. Today, Fedora is once more the leading edge Linux distribution." 14:09:45 What more needs to be said on this one? :) 14:09:51 #info === In the news: "Fedora 25 Released With Wayland, GNOME 3.22, And Kernel 4.8" === 14:09:54 #link https://fossbytes.com/fedora-25-released-download-features/ 14:09:57 #info Not much of an opinion article, mostly an altered version of the release announcement. Still positive exposure. 14:10:11 #info === In the news: "JetBrains’ Rider public EAP, Fedora 25, and MapR’s Customer 360 Quick Start Solution—SD Times news digest: Nov. 22, 2016" === 14:10:14 #link http://sdtimes.com/jetbrains-rider-public-eap-fedora-25-maprs-customer-360-quick-start-solution-sd-times-news-digest-nov-22-2016/ 14:10:17 #info Short blurb, doesn't offer much opinion. Wayland is definitely stealing the spotlight this release. 14:10:32 #info === In the news: "Fedora 25 News & Update: New Linux Based Operating Sytem Available Now; Is This Windows 10, Mac OS Killer?" === 14:10:35 #link http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/73507/20161124/fedora-25-news-update-new-linux-based-operating-sytem-available-now-is-this-windows-10-mac-os-killer.htm 14:10:38 #info Not much of an opinion offered – mostly repeating information from the release announcement. The ending harps on the inability of Windows and macOS users to run Linux – perhaps this is something to note for future cycles this release. 14:10:52 #info === Opinions needed: Fedora + freenode partnership article === 14:10:52 #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/6QOXULA7MW6MFTKMBVFWDRZK35JCUKTI/ 14:10:55 #info We're working on doing a partnership with freenode to publicize the open source projects living on freenode. A first draft of an initial article to publish was shared on the mailing list. Please take a moment to review and offer any feedback. 14:11:23 ^^^ This last one may need discussion. Did you all see this article draft? 14:11:46 I'm still reading it 14:11:46 bkp: not yet. 14:11:48 It looks ok 14:11:53 https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=3065&preview=1&_ppp=ed70b52525 14:12:00 Is the draft view link 14:12:46 * mailga thinks that usually has nothing to add when Justin writes. 14:13:44 I agree, though is the section on IRC from another article? 14:15:17 For now it looks just fine, is needed to add f25 features, but I don't know if there is something specifically related to IRC 14:16:00 #action jflory7 is given positive feedback on the freenode/Fedora article, with the suggestion to add F25 features. 14:16:20 bkp: maybe a more detailed explanaion of useful commands and some rules on how to follow meetings. But I see that a freenode-fedora howto should be more complex. 14:16:51 #action jflory7 maybe a more detailed explanaion of useful commands and some rules on how to follow meetings. But I dazo see that a freenode-fedora howto should be more complex. 14:17:07 Noted. 14:17:16 bkp: +1 14:17:44 Moving on... 14:17:45 #topic Action items from last meetings 14:17:59 #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/marketing/marketing.2016-11-22-14.35.html 14:18:02 #info How This Works: We look at past #action items from the last meeting for quick follow-up. If a task is completed, we move on to the next one. If it isn't, we get an update and re-action it if needed. If no status, we'll try to get a quick update and move forward. 14:18:14 #info === linuxmodder Make commits and comments to the page now, with action to come next week === 14:18:27 This was for ticket #242 14:19:43 jflory7 has some feedback on this ticket, and if linuxmodder is not around, we can address this in the Ticket section. 14:19:57 #info === bkp to follow up and see if Fedora Magazine feed failing to validate is even still an issue === 14:20:55 This was for Ticket #241, the Fedora Magazine feed. Apparently this is still an issue, though the root cause is not clearly determined. 14:21:08 * mailga brb 14:21:17 I read that there is something about the CDN being fixed 14:21:33 And maybe this issue is related to that 14:21:43 x3mboy: Yes. Again, jflory7 addressed this on that ticket as well. 14:21:59 Will move to the tickets. 14:22:04 #topic Tickets 14:22:12 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issues?tags=meeting 14:22:32 #info === Ticket #241 === 14:22:32 #info "Fedora Magazine feed fails to validate" 14:22:32 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/241 14:22:33 #info Checked earlier this morning, and lots of errors seem to be related to images hosted on the CDN (many of which are not currently displaying). Once this is fixed, some of the RSS errors may resolve themselves. Once we clear up any remaining issues with the CDN, we can troubleshoot more specifically and find a solution. Should be discussed in #fedora-magazine. 14:22:53 These comments were from jflory7 ^^^ 14:23:50 I can bring this up in their channel this week. 14:24:28 +1 14:25:02 #action: bkp to raise ticket #241 on the #fedora-magazine channel this week. 14:25:40 #info === Ticket #242 === 14:25:47 #info "Update release activity steps / process on the wiki" 14:25:54 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/242 14:26:04 #info Some examples of things we can do to expand the wiki page section were added to the ticket. Feel free to give feedback on those suggestions. To build further, what other kind of key tasks for Marketing can we identify and describe in this section of our wiki page? 14:26:38 #info The page in question is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing#Release_activities 14:28:37 bkp: why don't we assign the task to the people willing working on it direcly in the wiki, without any ticket opening? 14:28:42 jflory7 left more feedback on the ticket itself. I wonder if the best way to handle this is to assign/ask for volunteers to hit each one of the "missing" tasks. 14:28:56 mailga: My thoughts exactly. :) 14:29:09 +1 14:29:37 .hello dhanesh95 14:29:38 dhanesh95: dhanesh95 'Dhanesh Bhalchandra Sabane' 14:29:45 I'm pretty lae 14:29:45 Sorry if I have some delay, I'm upgrading to f25 14:29:48 late* 14:29:51 dhanesh95, o/ 14:30:05 x3mboy, bkp o/ 14:30:07 #chaor dhanesh95 14:30:09 mailga o/ 14:30:15 #chair dhanesh95 14:30:15 Current chairs: bkp dhanesh95 mailga x3mboy 14:30:21 Thanks bkp 14:30:25 I swear my fingers used to work... 14:30:25 hello dhanesh95 14:30:30 LOL 14:30:44 Maybe I just need scotch. 14:30:45 New keyboard maybe? 14:30:53 I see announcements 14:31:06 dhanesh95: There were a few, yes. 14:31:29 #idea Ticket #242: ign the task to the people willing working on it direcly in the wiki, without any ticket opening? 14:31:57 bkp: take a look at the docs page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Docs_Project_tasks?rd=Docs_Project_tasks 14:32:26 bkp: something similar, IMO, with less infos of course. 14:32:37 I can go though this and see what's really left. Like, "press kit" may be done because we put the actual press release on the wiki this time around. 14:32:51 bkp +1 14:33:05 mailga: YES 14:33:24 I like this a lot. 14:33:27 bkp: +1 the press kit is really important for a marketing group. 14:35:14 Right. 14:36:12 So should we alter the marketing release activities page to have a list like the one mailga pointed out? 14:36:43 Or just add assigned people to the table we already have? 14:36:59 bkp, maybe open a poll for this? To give the chance to all team to give feedback 14:37:10 x3mboy: +1 14:37:26 You want to do this on the list, x3mboy ? 14:37:32 Ok 14:37:36 I can do it 14:37:38 x3mboy++ 14:37:38 bkp: Karma for x3mboy changed to 1 (for the f25 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 14:38:52 #action x3mboy to poll lost to see about altering release activities page to a more action-oriented table like the one at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Docs_Project_tasks?rd=Docs_Project_tasks, or some variant in-between 14:39:19 x3mboy++ 14:39:19 mailga: Karma for x3mboy changed to 2 (for the f25 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 14:39:34 I remember jflory7 doing something similar in CommOps..

Do we conduct a separate meeting for that? 14:46:19 I have a question: The poll is just an email, or we have an app or something similar to have statistics? 14:46:33 dhanesh95: It will be the topic of next week's marketing meeting. 14:46:44 bkp: Understood 14:47:17 x3mboy: An email will work.
