Hello everyone, As you might already know, I wrote a blog post for Buzz the other day[1] and it gained around 109 clicks[2] from Identi.ca and Twitter, as well as many views from Fedora planet. We got some feedback on the post and the main points were as follows: * Buzz isn't all that great of a name for it. * OpenMarketing as a proposed name for the platform (from Gerard) * Similar to KDE Buzz and we should take a look at what they're doing (was someone working on seeing whether the code for that was open?) but it's sufficiently different to warrant a new piece of software. * Marketing about marketing is a good thing! What do you think of these? There are some things that I would really like to get decided relatively quickly so the design of the actual system can begin: 1. Technology - Should this be pursued in Moksha or using PHP. I'm leaning quite a lot towards just using PHP at the moment because it will save drastic amounts of time learning how to use another framework and I'm more comfortable with it. 2. Name - I like OpenMarketing for the platform, but maybe we should change the Fedora-specific app's name from Buzz to something else. Thoughts? Other considerations include design. I'm not a designer by any capacity so I guess I can just create a simple front-end for it to start off with and then when we have something to show maybe we can get one of the Fedora designers to have a look at it? Thanks and I hope I'm not being too verbose, Luke [1] http://bit.ly/9AojGy [2] http://bit.ly/9AojGy+ -- Luke Slater :O) -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
