Notes from Betty Ong, a student in Seneca's graduate program for technical communications, with my notes inline.

I would rephrase this as "how can we make it so that the easiest way to do things reinforces a consistent message?" The idea of a brand/marketing style guide is intriguing, though I'm not sure where to go with it right now - I'm curious how this works for Docs, and for projects outside Fedora.

It was fascinating to see what someone's first impressions of Fedora Marketing were through those lens - how do we get more of this kind of feedback?
