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, and anyone else you can find on the mailing list or IRC.
