The annual event reached its historical 10 year mark this year.

Mindshare Monthly Report – FAD and First Actions

Establishing the Committee

The Mindshare Committee is officially established.

The Fedora Mindshare Committee represents the outreach leadership in Fedora. Mindshare aims to help outreach teams to work together better by providing them with a way to unify around Fedora’s messaging and work together to achieve goals.

We had a FAD where we we met to discuss how the committee is going to work and to discuss the initial issues we had on our hands. We did a little recap of good things and challenges:

Good:

  1. Events: Ambassadors organizing minor events and presenting at main events
  2. Budget process: Mostly working in part to a dedicated role in Fedora
  3. Design & Web: Two teams collaborating together and offering a good user experience and a model for collaboration
  4. Marketing: Fedora Magazine and generating talking points
  5. Docs: We have Docs, but at Flock when this was originally presented, the team was small; Docs FAD was last week and may impact this

Challenges:

  1. Communication: Missing effective communication between teams
  2. Best practices: Not shared between teams, some teams have efficient processes that could be used by others
  3. Reporting: The events we attend are not informing the project and helping us set direction
  4. Marketing: Disconnected from other teams and its messages need to drive outreach teams again
  5. Local communities: Strong interest from local communities but support is not in place to help engage and include them in the project

Having this list in our hands, we started a discussion, about the topics, our challenges and taking advantage of our good points. The first thing we did was create a list of objectives:

  1. Improving communication between teams
  2. Better collaboration and sharing of best practices between teams
  3. Supporting management of budget for impact
  4. More informed event planning with inputs from several groups
