We are being kind, though, and had the initial meeting internally with a specific first goal of getting everyone comfortable with how we are working in the open. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-January/msg00233.html That is the call for the first meeting, and it's all about repeating what we discussed internally so that it is owned by the community, and starting from there. It's OK for small, smart groups of people to have a sidebar, generate ideas, and take them back to the larger group for input and decisions. That is what we can expect to see from this group, as we see in other parts of Fedora. In the end, open and visibly accountable is the rule of the day.

Like you I'm a novice at this and I'm looking forward to seeing how the pros do it, but I do want to stay involved and not get completely sidelined; otherwise (from a completely selfish point of view) I'm just not going to be able to learn much at all! Not to say that I'm planning on going into marketing as a career, but learning about anything rocks my socks. Anyway, keep up the good work, but please can we keep this in the open and not sideline the community? My best wishes to all!

I await your email about the steps forward on the marketing list which I'm hopeful will be useful apart from a news list. I’m with you on that.
