| +1 a ton to this. I think this is a great us to expand our reaches - Chris Roberts >>> Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 10/27/14 11:40 AM >>> Take a look at be able to once you're logged in; the FAmSCo trac requires a FAS account but I don't think anything else). From that ticket: With the new Fedora Council, some of the broader budget discussions are being brought up into a higher project level, and at the same time, FAmSCo has successfully delegated other responsibilities down to the regional ambassadors' committees. Meanwhile, the project really lacks coordination between various areas of outreach — Ambassadors, Marketing, Design Team (which is responsible for branding), and support efforts like Ask Fedora and even Documentation and Web. This may also include areas of the new Fedora.next Working Groups which touch on these areas — branding, marketing, conference attendance in support of a particular product, and etc. The new Outreach Representative on the Council is meant to help with this, but: a) we'd like that person to be selected by an elected community body, and FAmSCo is the current closest match, even though it doesn't encompass everything, b) having a group with this shared responsibility reduces the workload on one single individual, c) having a committee connected into the various groups will help prevent cases where that person happens to have a blindspot due to their background in the project, and d) having a coordinated outreach group would be useful in itself. This new "FOSCo" group would mirror FESCo, and to jointly represent the interests of all of the outreach-oriented parts of the project. And, clearly, Marketing is one of the key areas that would fall under that banner. The current FAmSCo group is generally in favor, but also in some ways that is the group which would be least impacted. So, what do you think? If people are generally in favor, I'm thinking we'd start this with the post-F21 elections. -- Matthew Miller Fedora Project Leader -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List info or to change your subscription: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing |
