I struggle with abstract process improvement proposals; my mind is
always searching for a concrete goal to structure for, and doesn't do
as well with structure for its own sake. So, I would prefer this to
*start* with a story to tell, and build the community scaffolding to
align with that message.
Containers seem popular these days, maybe start with the story around
atomic host deployments, building scalable application containers, and
managing that stack?

I guess I read this proposal as more, "how do we make Fedora better at
telling people what we are doing" vs "telling them what we did" or
"telling this particular story." However, I don't think that means that
it needs to be wishy-washy.
The Objective could still have very hard goals, e.g.:
a) identified 3 people who will monitor System-wide Changes and produce
a monthly blog post regarding them
b) the various marketing-esque teams in Fedora will have a compelling
and complete hierarchy
c) the Council will be provided a way to directly set marketing
direction for objectives
I don't know exactly, I kinda made those up and I would think they would
have stages or more detail or stuff, but, I hope I made clear that I,
personally, am looking for a proposal of an Objective that enables a
framework for all Fedorans to be better at marketing what we are doing,
what we did, and why to external audiences. And that proposal would have
measurable steps.
