[Mageia-marketing] Regarding podcasts

Tue Mar 20 02:44:30 CET 2012

Hello fellow team members :).
+
+Last year I was on a podcast for my first time, towards the end of 
+September, when I went on one as a guest. It was a very general episode 
+mentioning  Mageia, Mandriva, Ubuntu, PC Linux OS, Gnome, KDE, and so 
+on, that was rather long, with some music in it as well. It was a 
+special episode that had been arranged with the hosts who I had already 
+known on IRC for about two years or so. The other host wasn't in the 
+episode.
+
+This was before I had joined any official Mageia teams and was thinking 
+still about if I wanted to join any or not, such as marketing and QA. 
+However just like now I was around on IRC a lot then and had IRC 
+channels such as #mageia-uk and #mageia-social, and still got those now. 
+I was also messaging quite a lot about Mageia on Identica although 
+mainly to make sure that the news would show in the group ( 
+http://identi.ca/group/mageia ) as well, but sometimes about Mageia with 
+people who were interested in it as well for example.
+
+I had also on IRC talked to one of the Mageia founders about going on 
+the podcast with him at some stage a few times, and he agreed. This 
+hasn't happened yet, but may happen in the future.
+
+Next time I go on this particular podcast I can go on as a proper 
+official Mageia marketing team representative :), and they will have me 
+on again no problem in the future :).
+
+It had been in the plans for me to be on it as a guest, for quite a long 
+time before I did go on it. I have listened to all of their episodes so 
+far including the test episode. However it has been quite a while since 
+they last had one, because the other host is busy with other things a 
+lot at the moment.
+
+I know someone from Identica who has a podcast where he mentioned Mageia 
+1 in his first and second episode for example a bit. He was going to 
+review it, but then Grub issues.
+
+I asked him last week if I could go on it as a guest to talk about 
+Mageia and he suggested doing a pre recorded message for a 3rd of May 
+episode of his podcast.

+
+More recently he also does a podcast with someone who used to be on the 
+one I was a guest on, a lot for about a year or so. The one I went on as 
+a guest for my very first time on a podcast.
+
+I asked him last week if I could go on his podcast and no problem. I 
+mentioned adding it to our WIKI, and he suggested mentioning it being  
+NSFW.  Not Safe For Work as in for example contains swearing sometimes.
+
+if I am going to guest on it talking officially about Mageia I will 
+request that the episode is kept SFW Safe For Work first.
+
+I guess it doesn't really matter if normally a podcast usually has 
+swearing in it for example, that I may later go on as an official Mageia 
+spokes person. When it comes to telling people about the episode, or in 
+the case of the WIKI about the podcast in general? Other than for 
+example probably mentioning something about the swearing? What are your 
+thoughts about this? What do you think?  This is the main reason for 
+this email message to find that out.
+
+As for podcast contents when on them talking officially about Mageia, 
+what do you think should be mentioned?
