===Logistics stuff===
* [[F12 marketing postmortem]]
* Conference room reserved ([[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] will take care of that this week)
* Articulated goals (short-term, long-term, not-tied-to-a-specific-cycle)
* Conference call phone number - if needed
* Came up with a [[Marketing plan]]
* Need a transportation plan for people going to / coming from airport, phone numbers list, etc.
* Internet access for non-RH people - paperwork, etc? Guest badges?

===Materials / Tools ===
==== Action items ====

* Software! Let's make sure we all have the needed tools installed before we get to Raleigh.  If there is anything specific we need for brand book publishing, video / audio / photo editing, please list it here.
** Someone fluent in Inkscape ([[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] is passable, and can serve if needed.)
** Perhaps Scribus? ([[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] will ask the design list...)
** Audacity is a good sound-editing program. Now we just need someone who knows how to use it. ([[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] has rudimentary Audacity skillz, but also can't hear, so an alternate is greatly desired - I can teach software usage.)
* Cameras / Video equipment

* <s>rbergeron, yn1v: take goals articulated and bucketize into 3 groups: short-term, long-term, not-tied-to-a-specific-cycle - then post to wiki and email the list</s> - ideas have been dumped to [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_brain_dump#Ideas_for_Fedora_13_Marketing this page], Robyn to bucketize. Trac: [https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/103 #103]

* Entry points to Fedora - are they clear, simple, potential calls to action? Discussion on how to make these calls-to-action useful, especially to audiences that we haven't reached well in the past.

Deliverable: Brand Book v.1.0 (available freely online, CC-BY, in remixable format, of course). I'd like everyone to be able to go home from the FAD on Tuesday with a printed copy - even if that means "laserjet printer + staples. [[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] 06:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
== Attendees ==
 
Immediate use cases: I'm going to visit a class at Allegheny College that's doing a unit on open source marketing (yep, this is new) right after the FAD; I'd like to be able to bring the book to them and have them analyze/critique/improve it.
 
Rough schedule:
* 9-10am : over breakfast, share/pass-around/discuss other brand books and what we like and don't like about them, what we are trying to accomplish with this brand book, history lessons from people who've worked on brand books in the past.
* 10-11am : table of contents brainstorm, leading to the creation of a table of contents, and division of labor
* 11am-12:30pm : writing sprint 1
* lunch, wherein we leave campus and, while eating, or around the same time, try to find passerby who don't know about Fedora to compare some of our design options and give us feedback on the (very rough, at this point) work
* after-lunch to 4pm : writing sprint 2
* 4pm : pause for feedback round 2 (either among ourselves, or if we feel the need, going out to find more people)
* then until 6pm : final sprint, finishing touches
* 6pm : SHIP IT!
* dinner, and a test of our shiny new books
 
===Day 3 (Monday, March 15)===
 
'''Interviews and filming.''' Owner: [[User:Mspevack|Max Spevack]]
 
Possible activities:
 
* interviewing local developers for feature profile videos
* a "What is Fedora?" video explaining the project's community and ecosystem
 
* 9-10am : breakfast and game-planning, splitting into teams
* morning : viewing old videos, writing this video's "script" and getting tools ready (and teaching people how to use equipment)
* lunch : user stories
* afternoon : go off and do filming
* dinner
* evening : those who wish to view video and edit, can view video and edit
 
===Day 4 (Tuesday, March 16)===
 
'''PR.''' Owner: [[User:Wonderer|Henrik Heigl]], with remote backup from [[User:Asamaras|Sakis Samaras]].
 
See action items from [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-classroom/2009-11-10/fedora-classroom.2009-11-10-20.36.html Kara's "how to monitor PR for a release"] class
 
Possible activities:
 
* Fotoshooting for press-photos and picturebook
* writing some press texts, backgrounder and press-kit
* putting together some kind of marketing plan
 
Possible schedule (from [[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] 06:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)):
 
* 9-10am : breakfast, meeting people
* 10-11am : "what have we done so far in PR?" overview from Paul/Kara, plus "what PR resources can RH/others offer?" discussion
* 11-noon : photo shoot?
* lunch : Fedora Insight discussion
* 1-4:30 pm : RH Summit (or Other Major PR Event, if one we want to do something for is coming up sooner) planning and sprinting
* 4:30-6pm : F13 and F14 PR planning, and how we want to sync with RH PR
* dinner
 
Possible schedule (from --[[User:Rbergero|Rbergero]] 05:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)):
 
* 9-10am : breakfast, meeting people
* 10-11am : "what have we done so far in PR?" overview from Paul/Kara, plus "what PR resources can RH/others offer?" discussion
* 11-noon : Press Kit - Identify a "table of contents" for a Press Kit, both electronic and hardcopy versions.  Discuss cost/benefit relationship to having a hardcopy for press people at Very Large Events, if it is worth the $, etc.  Any content going in the press kit - let's develop a schedule and owners to get it out the door.
* lunch : Fedora Insight discussion
* 1-3pm: Develop a concrete deliverables plan / schedule of press materials for F13 / F14, to address the groups listed below. On the table: interviews, podcasts, press releases, magazine articles, online webcasts / interview sessions.  We should be trying to get into the position of having continuous content throughout the life cycle - not just a rush of it prior to and after final release.
** General Media (glossy content)
** Engineers (more technical content)
** Potential End Users / Community members (community / friendly-focus content)
* 3-6pm : RH Summit planning.  Deliverable: Plan any time / space we have allotted as efficiently as possible. Possibilities on the table: Interviews / roundtables with press members, "fun" with press people (Fedora jeopardy game, or something to that effect) - emphasize the community aspect of Fedora, Shiny Press Kits, etc.  I think one of the major goals should be to take the opportunity of having press in one place to have them be more educated about what Fedora -is-, and what Fedora -is not- - this makes for better articles on Fedora by our press friends in the future.  Also: anything we come up with can possibly be rehashed / reinvented for Linuxcon, which is in August in Boston.
* Dinner. nom nom nom
* Deliverables for day: Press Kit (or beginnings thereof), Schedule of Press-related Deliverables for multiple audiences, RH Summit plan of attack.
 
===Business===
The list below is just the collection of items we will discuss about and does not say anything about the time or order they're discussed about.
 
* F12 - what did we do there
* F13 - how far we are
** Start of release cycle
** Alpha
** Beta
** GA
** Start of release cycle
* upcoming releases
* measurement
* build up an press and picture archive
* everything else
 
=> goal: have a big picture of a possible marketing plan we could use during Fedora cycles.
 
Proposed by [[User:Yn1v | Neville A. Cross]]
 
How to push articles/news? [[Fedora_news_distribution_network_(NDN)| Fedora News Distribution Network]]
* How RedHat does this?
* What we have done?
* How to translate/localize articles
* How we can tap into a global network of ambassadors?
 
===Ideas===
 
* storytelling
* what is open source marketing?
* events we should go to (as Ambassadors as well)?
** marketing conferences
** RH Summit (Boston)
* FI articles brainstorming
** idea: each article should be tagged with at least one of the four Foundations.
** Fedora-contributions-to-upstream profile(s)
** user stories
 
===Questions===
Maybe there are questions who want to be answered... collect them.
 
** RH Marketing:
*** How do you plan new marketing campains?
*** how was the workflow on the campaign on [product xyz]?
*** how works an international campaign? local departments? centralized?
 
==== Sideline ====
* How about something like a conference-Package, T-Shirt or basecap or some other kind of "reminder" of that event? ... maybe there are some RH Backpacks (max carring around some nice ones ;-) ) or other bags laying around in some office with some cool nice tiny black notebooks and some pens with laserpointer or so in it <- makes a nice package ?! 
* make some pictures for the picturebook (photoshooting -> theme)
 
===Fun===
 
depends on where we are (e.g. springbreak, bikeweek, etc.)
 
===Workshops===
