</I>><i> - we make a new team; which role is to think, design, produce and

</I>><i> - it practically merges responsibilities from artwork, web and marcom teams;
</I>><i> - it integrates roles as diverse as: design, marketing, graphic
</I>><i> research and production, copy writing, web design, integration and
</I>><i> development, curation, etc.
</I>><i> - existing web, marcom and artwork lists are kept for archive, but
</I>><i> locked down and all subscribers are unsubscribed;
</I>><i> - will have a say in whatever happens in this team, only those making
</I>><i> and contributing things (so here, actionable designs, working code,
</I>><i> graphics or copy, etc.); opinions and feedback from others still
</I>><i> welcome, but not enough to move forward;
</I>><i> - external contributions are a true option; that is, one team peer
</I>><i> getting in touch/inviting a professional person to propose and work on
</I>><i> a specific, focused topic, from overall project identity design, down
</I>><i> to a specific production. It only needs to be stated within the team
</I>><i> first so that everyone is in sync;
</I>><i> - formatting our resources so that one-shot contributions from
</I>><i> external people are made easier is a true option too (that means
</I>><i> things easier to grasp, understand and update);
</I>><i> - no more meeting, we plan and do things, and update everyone through
</I>><i> the mailing-list (or other, but asynchronous); so being on IRC is not
</I>><i> a must, just good to have;
</I>><i> - no more than 10 hours a week on Mageia.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Questions:
</I>><i> - who's going to lead this?
</I>><i> - what's the plan up to Mageia 3? several things at least in several
</I>><i> regards (identity, print, web, distribution), but that will highly
</I>><i> depend on who lead(s) the team.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> [1] ideally, everything that's the public face of Mageia.Org, the
</I>><i> Mageia distribution and the Mageia project should go through this
</I>><i> team; that does not mean that things will not be flexible, but if
</I>><i> there's one place to discuss, document and synchronize all this work,
</I>><i> it's here. That, in turn, requires some responsiveness and initiative
</I>><i> from the team members.

</I>Sounds good to me. I would like to take on some work especially
concerning Marketing where it appears that we're especially thin here.
I feel that although the distrowatch page-hits are high, there is not
nearly enough of an overall web presence. I think that Mageia has an
especially good potential to poach Ubunt/Mint users but the buzz just
isn't there. I tried to add some sites to the list in sandbox, but was
denied permission. Here are some sites I found:

The one of these that I felt could really use some urgent attention is
Wikipedia. I know this committee/team is in a state of flux with the
merge and all but every day that goes by is a day further away from its'
release. I have my main contract winding down here so I have some
extra time. If perhaps someone either from this team or maybe the
document team has some approved language I could write a proposal for a
Wikipedia update. Let me know what everyone thinks.
Kind Regards,
Digigold
