I've updated the F12 schedule according to the meeting (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2009-July/msg00140.htm...) that Paul, John, and myself had today.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_F12_schedule
We've got some dates and such to coordinate with various teams (cc'd here) before Monday in order to make sure our calendars sync up. One of the things we'll be talking about at the Marketing meeting tomorrow (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings) is how to make sure that each Marketing + OtherTeam coordination happens this week - some of these connections already have delegates, others have people who probably should be, others are wide open.
The notes below are very, *very* much drafts, and only starting points! It's also entirely possible that I've put *too* much in the notes below (that figuring out something shouldn't be Marketing's job, or its focus). Patches welcome.

Design: We should make sure we get you a release slogan in time, and give fast enough feedback/final-slogan turnaround based on your designs that you can make release buttons/banners with time to spare. Also need to see what sort of work we need to coordinate in order to make spiffy Ambassadors kits.
Docs: We should commit to those 1-page shiny release notes you wanted, and find other good points during the cycle to check in with each other. We also need to talk (possibly with News) on who'd like to do what portions of talking points and in-depth feature profiles. (How can we market our documentation as awesome, too?)
Ambassadors: We need to schedule a briefing for you folks to happen once the talking points are ready - but most importantly, we need to learn how we can listen to you better so that we can make the things you actually want and *need* to spread the word on the ground. What can we do?
Websites: We should talk - potentially with Design - about how we're going to coordinate various webpage redesigns and revisions, and how our respective roles complement each other.
News: We also need to talk (possibly with Docs) on who'd like to do what portions of talking points and in-depth feature profiles. We should also figure out what's going on with News and Marketing and Fedora Insight, so we can schedule in coordination times with other teams if needed.

Hello, It might be stupid question, sorry, what is this for? Where is 'Localization'? noriko
(Marketing folks - this was asked on the Docs list in response to this email, so I thought it might be good to give a fuller explanation.)

Thanks for the call-out - I should have been more clear when I sent out that email.
This email was basically announcing the almost-final (it will be frozen on Monday) Marketing schedule of what we'll be working on for the F12 release. It's here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_F12_schedule
I sent it to several other lists (including Docs) because one of the things we want to make sure is that our schedule is OK for all the other teams we'll have to work with on a deliverable, or send a deliverable to. For instance, if Marketing is supposed to make 1-page release notes for Docs, a milestone for that should be on the Marketing F12 schedule, and Docs has to be happy with the date of that Marketing milestone, so we can get stuff to you on time.
Not all the other teams were listed (for instance, as you pointed out, Localization wasn't mentioned) because we only have "deliverable due dates" for a few teams. We'll still be working with, listening to, and making stuff for all the other teams (and really, anyone working on Fedora who'd like Marketing help) - this list was just to make sure big schedule milestones all matched up. If you think we *should* have specific milestones for a team that isn't listed, please let us know!
Hope that explains a bit - and please, let me know if I should be going about this differently, or explaining things better... I'm trying to go around to coordinate individually with the owners of the various team schedules, so things should be taken care of, but I also wanted to let others on the teams that we'll be working with know why they might at some point get stuff from Marketing, or see Marketing people show up at particular meetings, and that kind of thing. ;)

Thanks a lot for all the information. I now could learn how Fedora Marketing works, and it is excellent! Thanks again!
