Re: Marketing Tasks




Two things - I looked at the wiki markup and ran away as fast as I could.  I need help with this, I'm not an expert MoinMoin user, and even though we have a template for this from the Release & Web teams, it's going to take someone a few hours to get this done.  You're right though, it would be a good thing to be consistent with what the Release & Web teams are using.  The second question I had was would this work for campaigns?  I'm thinking we have to clearly define the time period when we do the work, as well as the beginning and end of a campaign.  Or am I overthinking this?

Any volunteers?  This needs to be more than a one person job.

I like your idea of organizing tasks due to due dates.

But why don't we just sync with the regular release schedule? I've seen
something like this for the GnomeWeb here:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/TwoPointTwentyseven

And I like it. It's easy to pick the dates one wants to care about.


This gives us also the opportunity to have a sort of template, so making
a new schedule for the next release is simply a matter of copy'n'paste
instead of having someone re-collect all the data every year. For
example, I didn't see the dates for making the release notes in your
task calender.

So, I'd suggest we drop
and start something like this

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Schedule/TwoPointTwentyseven
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Schedule/TwoPointTwentynine
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Schedule/ThreePointOne

This may also help us to figure out what tasks need to be done before
other tasks. Maybe we can use colors to distinguish between certain
classes of tasks if that's needed.

I'd also suggest to delete items on the task list that are done. For
example, the brochure for sponsors is done, AFAIK. There's no need to
keep it one the list, then.


Best regards,
Claus
