[Minutes] [2016-06-22] Marketing retrospective, F24 press, future of Docs, and more!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey all,

Figured I'd try a new, slightly less robotic form of sending out meeting minutes with a brief summary of the discussions in the top. Today's meeting mostly focused on writing the upcoming Marketing retrospective to analyze how we did this release cycle. Gabri helped write the first one in many years for 2015, and we'd like to continue doing that this release as well.

Additionally, we're trying to round up any links for all press on F24 so far. This will fit into the Marketing retrospective wiki page once it's up.

Finally, there's a lot of juicy info on the future of the Docs team, where, and how they publish their content. There is a slight overlap with the Magazine which is why we covered this tonight.

Check out the minutes for more info below!

  * At the end of every release cycle, the Marketing team looks back on
    what it's accomplished during the release, in order to see how
    things can be improved for the next one. This process of reflection
    is called a "retrospective," and it's a nice pause between the
    hecticness of release cycles (and traditionally serves as a point of
    leadership transition for the team, when applicable).  (jflory7,

  * Marketing collateral / design assets planning is in progress with
    the Design Team in their Trac. If you are interested in being
    involved with efforts to promote and publish Flock items, please
    join #fedora-flock for more info and to be a part of the
    conversation!  (jflory7, 21:30:31)

* Future Docs Platform  (jflory7, 21:42:20)
  * The Docs Team is working on moving to a different platform / type of
    content for publishing articles than what the Fedora docs currently
    provide. It comes off as very "enterprisey" and less
    "StackOverflow-ish".  (jflory7, 21:42:53)
  * The success of the Magazine has informed the decision for the Docs
    Team to move to a more modular style / topic-based content (as
    compared to comprehensive manuals).  (jflory7, 21:43:36)
  * This change should help boost the visibility of the Fedora Docs for
    users and in search engine results. The decision was made recently
    at the Docs FAD earlier this month.  (jflory7, 21:44:13)
  * Important factor of consideration is to make sure the Magazine and
    future Docs platform remain separate in the type of content they
    provide - we don't want to have one obsolete the other. bkp mentions
    the idea of FM and OpenSource.com hosting great articles, but nobody
    confuses them with documentation (e.g. something like the Arch
    Wiki).  (jflory7, 21:45:08)
