Flock and possible upcoming objectives: marketing upfront; internet of things

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



At Flock. Terse message so I don't forget this. :)

Background: <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives>,
<http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/>

Currently, the 3 Editions objective is wrapping up. That means we have
two active ones - modularization and university involvement. The
Council plan calls for 2-4, so 2 is okay, but if we want to spin up
some more, now's a good time to talk about. Two things I've heard:

* I have not gone to business school, so I don't know the terminology
  here, but right now, Fedora Marketing is largely an afterthought. How
  do we "sell" the thing we just made? But, it could be so much more.
  How can we get more marketing involvement across the project,
  *making* stories, not just making them up? Metrics: more people
  across the project involved in marketing; marketing artifacts
  produced at start of cycles instead of just the end; more press about
  Fedora, etc.

* Internet of things. This has a lot of parts where Fedora can fit:
  Fedora on devices (hello, ARM SIG!), Fedora Workstation as a devel
  platform, Fedora Cloud as backend. Maybe big data, too. We have lots
  of parts, but no strategy. Metrics: production of such a strategy.
  Features/change requests related to IoT, possibly IoT SIG with
  regular meetings...

Discuss. :)
