Strategy

We don't have much of one.
Perhaps you'd like to help us fix that - if this is a space you're excited about exploring, we'd love to hear from you. Please email the marketing list and let us know you're interested!

This page needs to be updated from a conversation log.
If you have a moment, please incorporate the discussion from the Marketing FAD 2010 into this page, and then delete this note. Full transcripts (the topic starts at 10:39) are available. If you let the marketing list know you've done this, we will thank you profusely, and also try to improve upon your work.

Past discussions

• Social media was briefly discussed at the Marketing FAD 2010. complete logs are available (start at 14:10:39). For a shorter recap, see this video of Neville Cross, Ryan Rix, and Paul Frields explaining the discussion and a diagram of the whiteboard (photo by Henrik Heigl).

Twitter

This section of our social network strategy doesn't have an owner yet.
If you're interested, please let the marketing list know.

• Mirror everything to identi.ca
• Verified accounts and consolidation of accounts for RH and Fedora and JBoss
• For Fedora:
  • Twitter accounts we care about are listed.
  • Goals for content:
    • Automated (get eyeballs)
    • Manual (for calls to action)
    • push content vs conversations (keeps us authentic)
  • QA and accountability (for quality of content)
  • Aggregate #fedora, #fudcon, etc. tweets

Allegheny students!
You may notice that this section is a stub. That means our microblogging strategy has not yet been fleshed in - in fact, it's waiting for you to help us do that. Start with the ideas and proposals - and remember, release early, release often! If you've spent more than 2 hours on something and it hasn't hit the marketing list yet, take 5 minutes and send it to the list with a 2-sentence status explanation before you keep going! You may want to start by reading/viewing/summarizing your impressions of the #Past discussions so far.

People to talk to: Jonathan Nalley, Mel Chua, Ryan Rix, Neville Cross, and anyone else you can find on the mailing list or IRC.

Remember: this process must be sustainable for F14 and beyond.
We'll be using this microblogging strategy for the F13 release at the start of May, but we also need to learn how to use it again for the F14 release at the end of October/start of November - so make sure someone else can follow the trail you make!

We have started the process of obtaining the @fedora account. See #116.
