But good for reminding/improving on it, yes. + +It should be discussed on -discuss and kept into reasonably feasible +limits: roughly, Mageia 1 will be a release providing typical ISOs, +roughly equivalent to a MDV Free++, in DVD, liveCD, VMs forms - those +ISOs will allow for desktop and server deployment at least, minimal +systems setup (from the dualarch). There's room for improvement in how +we present/dispatch things. Again, this must be open and discussed on +-discuss in a guided manner before we close it, and help present the +final images in June. + +As for discussing target as a particular population, Mageia 1 is too +soon and the team is too small at this time to try to go further than +the conservative path: make a strong product, with many different +possible uses + attract/advocate to advanced users that can become +developers/contributors. Advanced users does not necessarily mean +"highly technically skilled people", btw. And that does not prevent +the product to be used/usable for non-experts: what is good for +non-experts is good as well for experts; or it's not well executed. + + +><i> - leader and vice election +</I> +And further team organisation and pace, yes. + +><i> - guidelines to provide to artwork and dev teams +</I> +Not sure what you mean by guidelines for dev teams? + +As for artwork, that would be a joint effort. I'll fire up the wiki +pages with templates/directions about that, as we already had a few +drafts from the past weeks. + + +><i> - decide which way (and means) to promote mageia +</I> +Wobo had an interesting start for previous Council meeting, but we ran +out of time/energy to get to there. Next week I guess. + + +><i> - create a pitch for the product and the project +</I> +Goes back to above vision/mission, actually. That's a dynamic thing, +but we can at least set a global theme for the next 2 years and for +later on. + + +><i> - think about creating a mageia commit-digest (meetbot here could be really +</I>><i> useful!) +</I> +Could you describe in more details what you mean by that? + + +><i> - anything else : ) +</I> +Well, that's a reflexion to have on -discuss as well, but I would like +the project to work on how people contributing and using the +distribution recognize themselves, as a group, online and offline. + +In a very concrete example, that could be, not exclusive of other +things, having a lightweight social network (as in, people having a +dynamic shared profile page that advertises their role and +contributions within the project) and/or having a way to prominently +push forward the human side of the project (real pictures of real +people involved in the project). + +One other avatar of this could be the bonjourmageia.fr website (not +used yet, but can be as soon as a team can take a hold on it): +everyday, or every two days, a picture of someone, a group of people, +involved/linked to Mageia + a short presentation of who/what/when/why. + + +All in all, that makes quite a big list of things to manage. So it +would be good to prioritize and dispatch: + - more communication topics: comm tools, promotion stategy, bonjour, +blog, website + - more marketing topics: mission/vision, pitch, Mageia 1 product presentation + +Reminder: alpha 2 is for March 15th* (in 19 days) and it would be +really great that by then (for its release): + - some work is done on the pitch (that means vision/mission is +squared a bit as well and pushed by the board); + - product presentation discussion has started on -discuss + - comm team sets up. + +Beta 1 is for April, 5th* (in 40 days) and here we need to have the +website ready in many aspects so the identity/strategy of the project +already squared so we can have made some progress on the site info +architecture, goals and navigation, then its design. + +* roadmap is here: +<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=iso_1_specifications#expected_milestones">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=iso_1_specifications#expected_milestones</A> + + +Now, as for holding a meeting, as far as I am concerned, it would +happen in the 8-18 UTC time frame - as +<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=marketing#preferred_meeting_time">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=marketing#preferred_meeting_time</A> +suggests, 15 UTC on Thursday would fit (or Monday, but we miss people +then; or Wednesday but we miss people too). Or if we want to get with +Graham, we need to do it way sooner in the morning or later in the +evening (and I won't be there then). + +So let's try next Thursday at 15 UTC on #mageia-marcom and in the +meantime, start the work on the list and on the channel, anytime, with +people being there and ready. + + +Cheers, + +Romain +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000146.html">[Mageia-marketing] Back to work - meeting proposal +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000150.html">[Mageia-marketing] Back to work - meeting proposal +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#149">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#149">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#149">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#149">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
