<div dir="ltr"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 9, 2012 at 7:27 PM, Romain d&#39;Alverny <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:rdalverny@gmail.com" target="_blank">rdalverny@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Hi everyone, (xposted on -marketing, -artwork and -webteam; if<br>
possible, please follow-up in -marketing)<br>
<br>
So here&#39;s the plan (actually, that&#39;s a suggestion of a plan):<br>
 - we make a new team; which role is to think, design, produce and<br>
maintain the identity of the project and its declinations in messages,<br>
graphics, Web and print [1];<br>
 - this team is named &quot;atelier&quot;;<br></blockquote><div><br>My French is a little rusty. Does that mean &quot;workshop&quot;? Who came up with that name? How is it pronounced? And why? (I personally was starting to like webartcom)<br>
 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
 - a new mailing-list is open for that;<br></blockquote><div><br>Are all participants of -marcom, -web and -artwork automatically subscribed to this new list? What is the address? (So I can create a new mail filter)<br> </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
 - it practically merges responsibilities from artwork, web and marcom teams;<br></blockquote><div><br>Good!<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

 - it integrates roles as diverse as: design, marketing, graphic<br>
research and production, copy writing, web design, integration and<br>
development, curation, etc.<br>
 - existing web, marcom and artwork lists are kept for archive, but<br>
locked down and all subscribers are unsubscribed;<br></blockquote><div><br>When will this happen?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

 - will have a say in whatever happens in this team, only those making<br>
and contributing things (so here, actionable designs, working code,<br>
graphics or copy, etc.); opinions and feedback from others still<br>
welcome, but not enough to move forward;<br></blockquote><div><br>So, sort of a reward for participating? Interesting.... but might not work.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

 - external contributions are a true option; that is, one team peer<br>
getting in touch/inviting a professional person to propose and work on<br>
a specific, focused topic, from overall project identity design, down<br>
to a specific production. It only needs to be stated within the team<br>
first so that everyone is in sync;<br></blockquote><div><br>I think iamoverrated has already started doing this with a graphic designer. I&#39;m not sure on the details, we&#39;ve been playing IRC tag for a week or so...<br>
 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
 - formatting our resources so that one-shot contributions from<br>
external people are made easier is a true option too (that means<br>
things easier to grasp, understand and update);<br></blockquote><div><br>How?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
 - no more meeting, we plan and do things, and update everyone through<br>
the mailing-list (or other, but asynchronous); so being on IRC is not<br>
a must, just good to have;<br></blockquote><div><br>Where will we be hanging out? New channel? One of the existing channels?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

 - no more than 10 hours a week on Mageia.<br></blockquote><div><br>Hah! I wish I had that much time to give to Mageia :P<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<br>
Questions:<br>
 - who&#39;s going to lead this?<br></blockquote><div><br>I nominate Romain.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
 - what&#39;s the plan up to Mageia 3? several things at least in several<br>
regards (identity, print, web, distribution), but that will highly<br>
depend on who lead(s) the team.<br></blockquote><div><br>We will probably have to come up with three separate lines of advance. One focusing on web, one focusing on distro-look and one focusing on PR. Sort of to set our goals for each one. They will, of course, overlap, but the end-products of each distinct line will be different.<br>
 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
[1] ideally, everything that&#39;s the public face of Mageia.Org, the<br>
Mageia distribution and the Mageia project should go through this<br>
team; that does not mean that things will not be flexible, but if<br>
there&#39;s one place to discuss, document and synchronize all this work,<br>
it&#39;s here. That, in turn, requires some responsiveness and initiative<br>
from the team members.<br>
