We had a really good discussion at FUDCon with about 10 people,
including Leigh Day, who is on fedora-marketing-list and is Red Hat's
corporate communications director.
I believe that Karsten and/or Paul has the notes and that they will make
their way here.
Additionally, Jack will be in Raleigh this week and we will have a
follow up meeting.
It is my hope that by the end of the week, we can have 3 or 4 major
marketing initiatives, find some people to commit to each one and build
some mini-communities of folks getting work done, and have Jack
established in a role where he oversees progress on these various
fronts, and reports back to the Fedora Board what is going on.
In short, a roadmap for Fedora Marketing that we work to implement, with
Jack being accountable to the Fedora Board and Red Hat for results.
We made a ton of progress in just an hour yesterday. A recap:
Problem Statements/Objective Discussion
----------------------------------------
o Need communications mechanism(s)
o Messaging: "We get sh*t done!"
o Lack of spokesperson consistency:
o Lawless
o Need repetition of key themes
o What is our Summit presence/FUDcon plan/other events plan?
o Need to establish long-term comms plan/process
o Competitors are announcing our stuff
SUMMARY: WE WILL ESTABLISH A LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE MARKETING &
COMMUNICATIONS PLAN BY MARCH 1.
Actions
--------
o Call for spokesppl
o Create Fedora Messaging Guide with the following themes (in this order):
o Folks/Friends
o Features
o Freedom
o First/Future
o Develop an 'Events Kit' (turn key solution to establish consistency
and process for all events attended by Fedora) and determine events plan
based on available budget.
o Determine future of FUDCon
o Leverage RH Summit
o Invite OSS press/bloggers
Summit Discussion
------------------
o Call for papers happening now, community submissions needed.
http://www.redhat.com/apps/include/webforms/paper.html
o Fedora presence at Summit:
o Fedora content in Open Source track (see above bullet)
o Designated hack-fest space for duration
UPDATE: THIS HAS BEEN SECURED IN THE HYNES CENTER
o Recap of Hack-fest before Innovation Awards in general
session on last day.
o Fedora booth
I am going to also send this update to the corp. mktg team at Red Hat to
solicit more volunteers to help execute on this. Please let me know if
you have any questions/comments.
Thanks,
leigh
