I'm with Joe on this. As long as we have people willing to work on a specific area of marketing, we don't need to limit our focus. When the products were discussed, an important point was that each team would have liaisons in the product workgroups: ambassadors, designers, marketers, testers etc.. In due time, I expect the worgroups to start discussing marketing with us, quite like Matt brought this up. We've already been trying to divide our work. For instance: some of the marketing team focus on the magazine; I try and focus on tasks related to ambassadors and keep up with the desktop SIG (which sort of makes me a liaison with these two teams). If we can get just enough people involved to divide our focus on the different products/spins/whoever needs marketing we'll be just fine. The ideal situation would be to have a few marketing team members working with each product/spin/ IMO. I think the only issue here is that we're understaffed, so a starting point would be to start a recruitment campaign of sorts to increase our numbers? Ideas? Probably a different thread? -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora! Come talk to us! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Join_SIG
