This list is also going +up on the wiki here: + +<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=marketing#what_s_hot_current_work">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=marketing#what_s_hot_current_work</A> + +Please check it, and let us know what you can take on. I've put my +name against some of the things, but since we only have about 2 weeks +to complete this stuff, the more people pitch in, the better. + +Numero Uno, absolutely must be done: + + - Build a visual brand for Mageia + +This means: nail down a colour palette (even if it's an interim one) +and bring the artwork/design of the install and the distro (all the +mageia-specific parts), the website and any posters/kakemoni/whatever +into line with each other as far as possible. We can certainly +achieve this in 2 weeks if we jump all over it. + +The artwork team is on board with a fair bit of this - what we need +now is more eyes, to look at the suggestions and weigh in with +*constructive* criticism - "I don't like it" isn't helpful, any more +than "It doesn't work"; we need to know what to do about it. Is it +the balance of the design that needs changing? To what? Is it the +colours that aren't appealing? What would look better? What does +work? Why? + +Remember: we need to be *visible*, we need to be *identifiable* in +the great distro maelstrom, and we need to express who we are as well +as possible. Are we edgy? Comfortable? Out there? welcoming? chintzy? +the community decides, and that's you, so speak up. + +Who: I'm running with this one for the present, but please take a look +as we progress. + +Next, absolutely must be done, from Romain's list: + +1: A presentation section on the Web site, showcasing the product. + +The suggestion at present is that we have a minimalist, focused +layout with around 5 sub-pages linked from the presentation page: + - presentation home, main message being, "this is a Linux system + for people" + - focus page for users (what do they have useful for them in this, +what benefits) + - focus page for developers (same) + - focus page for contributors (same) + - focus page for businesses (same) + - focus page on technical specs, requirements + +We need to get input from the devs and other contributors on what the +benefits are for them; and we need to get hold of the specs and +requirements for that page. + +Who: not assigned yet. + +Who: unassigned at the moment. Anyone up to help with this? + +2: Redesign the download section (to which the section above will +refer). + +For this, we need the final list of ISOs that will be provided, as +these influence quite a lot how we will present things. However, we +can do quite a lot of design with placeholders, so that isn't a +requirement to get started. + +We need this to be ready early so the i18n teams can do their thing. +Ideally we want the EN text finalised by 25-05-11 - that's 8 days +away. + +Who: not assigned yet. + +3: Redesign the home page of mageia.org - special look for release +day and a few days afterwards. + +What will happen anyway on the home page: + - project announcement content will be moved to a distinct page, +under the /about section + - on release day, about only a page-wide home screen picture, +linking to the presentation page will be there + news references + - on following days, usual news section + contacts will be re-added + +This will be mostly artwork/design, with not a whole lot of text, so +the marcomm part should be quick. Hopefully we'll have something by +way of a design coming out of Task Numero Uno (visual brand - I know +it's a ways up 8-)), in plenty of time for the text to be added. + +We need this to be ready early so the i18n teams can do their thing. +Ideally we want the EN text finalised by 26-05-11 - that's 9 days +away. + +Who: not assigned yet. + +4: The message to spread (blog, forum, news sites, etc.) - +varieties according to audience. + +Again we need to have this ready early so the i18n teams can do their +thing. This needs to be ready earlier than any other text, and it's +the most writing; if we could please all jump on this and have +something ready by 23-05, that would be great. + +Who: not assigned yet. + +5. A thank you page, for all contributors to this very release + +(This is very important - our community works hard and makes good +stuff, and by damn a pat on the back is deserved!) + + - needed: someone to mail all project list and collect name of +people that accept to be listed there + - needed: someone (design) to propose a design to use these names +(default solution will be to have a special page listing everyone) + +A Thanks page linked from the presentation page in #1 and from the +Release Day front page will work fine, if we get the design right. + +Who: not assigned yet. + + * NICE TO HAVE: updated global navigation (top nav bar on www, that +should be spread later to other parts of the website). I know I posted +something about it months ago, but did not finish my mockups about it. +This is of course still open. + +If we have time - let's take a look at this. + + * NICE TO HAVE: redesigned contribution how to page - from +<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=contribute">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=contribute</A> + +Again - if we have time. + +Any unassigned tasks, I'll work on as they come up, but we need +contributors - now's your chance to have your words and ideas +immortalised! + +Cheers, + + +-- +Trish Fraser, JD9R RQ2D +52.4161N,16.9303E +di mei 17 20:00:39 CEST 2011 +GNU/Linux 1997-2010 #283226 counter.li.org +andromeda up 1 hour(s), 0 min. +kernel 2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb +-- +-------------- next part -------------- +A non-text attachment was scrubbed... +Name: signature.asc +Type: application/pgp-signature +Size: 490 bytes +Desc: not available +URL: </pipermail/mageia-marketing/attachments/20110517/12853aa0/attachment.asc> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000353.html">[Mageia-marketing] Mageia 1 release, some tasks +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000355.html">[Mageia-marketing] Mageia-marketing Digest, Vol 7, Issue 7; website - The average Mageia User +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#354">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#354">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#354">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#354">[ 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> |
