Ben!!! Hi, welcome to the Fedora Marketing mailing list! So happy to see
your name pop up here. You're welcome to join us in IRC too in
#fedora-mktg on Freenode.

Your expertise and skills in this area are super helpful. Alberto (bt0)
and Eduard (x3mboy) are driving the efforts these days, and they can
help point you to some of the current tasks the team is working on.
However, the Marketing team is really limited only by creativity. A lot
of the skills and help you could bring to the team aren't things we're
focusing on because of lacking the manpower. If you have creative ideas
that you think would be fun or interesting, I highly encourage you to
pitch them too. We'd be more than happy to help support you in doing
these things. For example, the Fedora YouTube channel isn't utilized
that well, but I know we could do better if we had some folks with an
audio/video interest.

The best way to get up to speed is to attend the meetings. Currently,
the team meets on Tuesdays at 13:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting.
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/4434/
If you can attend, that would be awesome! Otherwise, minutes are always
sent out to the list of what was discussed.
It's really exciting to see you getting involved in Marketing! I'm
looking forward to seeing you around on the team. :)
