Hi Dhanesh! You are not an unfamiliar face, so I will skip over some of the usual formalities. Welcome to the Marketing mailing list, and sorry for my slow reply. :)Thank you! :)Since you are looking to pick up some new skills and don't have any formal background in Marketing, you might want to flip through some of the Pagure tickets we have open to get a feel for "what's happening" in Marketing. I structured the Marketing workflow similar to CommOps, so it shouldn't be too unfamiliar to you. https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issuesI'll definitely go through all the tickets and see if there is anything I can help with.Right now, we're currently gearing up for the final release of Fedora 25. Part of this will include drafting of the final release announcements for the Magazine / announce mailing list. I also think it could be a helpful thing if there were some "feature profiles" of new things coming in Fedora 25 on the Fedora Magazine.Need to study the release changelog to be able to do that.However, there is more to Marketing than only writing. One of the things I've been wanting to do for a long time, but have lacked the cycles to manage such a thing, is a marketing campaign specific to university students. A campaign like this would need to consider a number of different factors and would require some creative planning and brainstorming. If this is something interesting to you, I'd love to find some time to talk about it, factor it into the EDU Talking Points that we've started to discuss in CommOps, and determine the steps necessary to craft an effective and engaging campaign to university students globally (although it would be more effective use of our time to target individual regions first, especially where we have the contributors to do so).I love this idea! I'll be around for another week before I head off to prepare for my examination. So we can have a chat whenever you find some free time in the coming week.
Excellent! I'll try to find some time to hash this out with you as a starting point, and see what we come with as far as ideas and implementation goes... the important thing for this will be breaking this task into reachable goals and objectives, and ways to monitor and check on progress. :)
If IRC proves too difficult (which it might for me this week), we can try to hash out some ideas on the mailing list!
This may have turned into a more detailed or starry-eyed sort of idea than a proper welcome email, but I'd love to find a way to get you involved in Marketing with something personally interesting and engaging to you.This is super exciting! :DHope this helps provide some insight and direction. :) Let us know if you have any questions beyond this. Thanks!No questions at the moment but I won't feel shy to post here if there are any. ;)
Again, welcome aboard. :) -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7@xxxxxxxxx
