Most of this page is taken from an email User:Jonrob sent to the marketing list proposing making the marketing plan time based, and task focused.

In terms of a normal Fedora release cycle:

1st and 2nd months

Press Activities

  • Gathering reviews from previous release - wiki
  • Highlighting the positive comments - RHM (for now) + own blogs
  • Answering the negative (where applicable) - forums, news sites, blog posts
    • Highlight freedom, features and first when answering negative

Push for new contributors

  • Need to review join page. A generic process for all SIGS/Teams might be useful

FUDCon

  • Video, contributor stories, hackfest info, talk recordings, plans for what's to come!
  • Collect individual's blog posts, share them on RHM
  • Videos to go to Fedora TV (can include contributor stories, talks etc)

3rd and 4th months

LinuxTag/FISL

  • Talk about interaction with other projects, more contributor stories, videos etc
  • Collect individual's blog posts, share them on RHM
  • Videos to go to Fedora TV (can include contributor stories, talks etc)

Press Activities

  • Stories about Fedora infrastructure - how great a community to contribute through
    • RHM
    • need to co-ordinate interviews and editorial content
  • Should probably try and get an article in some publications about this aspect of Fedora.
  • Working with upstream
    • blogs
    • Transifex would be a good highlight here
  • Re-spins
    • RHM
    • own blogs
    • editorial content + interviews

Contacting editors/writers to start pointing out work going on with beta and where they can find out more info on key features

      Need to co-ordinate with RH - have a single point of contact

(press@fedoraproject.org?), think it's important to try and work through community here (but then that's my opinion!), this was a slight problem in previous release when RH and I both contacted some magazines about similar topics.

Arrange for external interviews - podcasts etc - with developers and contributors

      Need a list of podcasts and other online media.
      Need a list of contributors willing to be interviewed!

5th and 6th month:


FUDCon

      Talk about interaction with other projects, more contributor stories,

videos etc

      Should collect individual's blog posts, share them on RHM
      Videos to go to Fedora TV (can include contributor stories, talks etc)

Interviews with developers

      Wiki and RHM for now.
      Need to know upcoming features to start this

Kick ass pretty feature summary

      Wiki for text, need websites and art for look

Home page countdown

      Art team

New banner

      Art team

FREEDOM & FIRST

      Need editorial content - RHM and own blogs.

Leader interviews

      Exactly as last time - these worked very *well*


Running parallel:


I'd like to try and get news.fp.o running for F10 release. Totally dependent on others, and totally understand it's a huge amount of work!

Need decent video editing software

Need decent recording equipment at events.

Need to tie in better with fedoraforum.org - Rahul etc
