Notes:

 * Mentors - There's a mailing list, art project with Diana is there,
but the rest aren't responding. Rahul has responded. Note that there is
NO duplication of information by creating new guides - its just revising
existing materials. Marc to resend out more information bits about the
list to developers, and there have been a small number of newbies that
have signed up. Wiki page needs updating, people need to get on lists.

 * FUDCon Promotion - numbers (registrants) 50 at the moment (pending
Alex), there has been publicity, sent to the list. Look at list archives
for this - lwn, lxer, linuxtoday, newsforge. 2 staff volunteers also

 * SOP - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SpreadingNews has been
integrated. It needs to be built on further, with possibly other
inspiration as well. Rahul is done with it (thanks for the great job),
others now need to contribute

 * CMC - list is setup, its private, there are people on it. Keep in
mind focusing on our strengths and promoting that. This week is week of
promotion

 * Logo - First round at: http://www.capstrat.com/development/fedora/.
Infinite freedom isn't decided as the slogan, but the general consensus
is that the logo is loved. Concentrate on logo feedback today. Color can
be fixed later (like Legacy or something)

Is the 'f' too subtle? Do we need a name? 

 * Fedora-derivatives: Rahul will post to list over the weekend, and
Tejas has found a bunch of "dead" distros. Rahul is going to download
everything he can get his hands on. c.f. Blag on LiveCd list for
starters

 * Fedora Marketing Kit - saved for next week. Rahul did:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraOverview, with the idea to expand it
to a list. It clearly needs more content, to link of to other pages.
Patrick has been trying a new redesign, at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PatrickBarnes/Prototypes/FrontPage and the
idea is to move the wiki to the frontpage eventually. Patrick will work
with the designers for this (incl. Bob Jensen)

 * Legacy pages have been cleaned up at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy by Rahul, after talking to Jesse
and folk on #fedora-devel. Rahul probably volunteering to own the
content, infrastructure to fedoralegacy

 * Do we want a wiki as the main/front page?
