Mktg Meeting 2/28 recap, and next meeting

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

Thanks to John Babich for sending out the full IRC transcript.

The simple recap, for folks who don't want to read the whole IRC log:

John Adams, of the Red Hat Brand team, has provided us with a template 
of what a full Marketing Plan looks like.  That templates lives on the 
Fedora wiki:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan

We've dramatically simplified our task list to focus on fleshing out a 
full marketing plan for Fedora based on this skeleton.  The task list, 
with owners, can be found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Tasks

Over the next week, the owners of key sections of this Marketing Plan will 
be asking questions, making proposals, and filling this plan in, bit by 
bit.

If someone asks a question of you on-list -- like "I think that our target 
audience for press releases should be X, Y, and Z" -- PLEASE RESPOND. 
You're on this mailing list because you care about the marketing of 
Fedora, so please take this opportunity to express your opinions.  You 
folks *are* Fedora.  We need to hear you.

Next week we will convene on IRC once again to see what progress we've 
made.  Details:

Time:	Thursday, March 6, 2000 GMT/UTC (3pm Eastern US)
IRC:	irc.freenode.net, #fedora-mktg

Thanks to all of today's participants.  It's been a while since I led an 
IRC meeting, and this one was extremely worthwhile.  Let's keep the 
momentum going.
