I don't know if we talked at all about this in the marketing meeting, but: Do we want to be more specific about encouraging ONLY wiki postings of additional talking points, or also allow postings to the fedora-mktg mailing list? It's not really specified in the SOP (at least that I can find in a fairly quick glance). If we want to head off the world's longest email thread, should we specify not emailing the list? > > The Marketing team will make final adjustments to the list of talking > points at their meeting on February 23, which will be announced on the > marketing list and is open to everyone. > > -- > Paul W.
