Thanks, Paul (and sorry for the belated answer) - edited. Here's the
final generic one - final in the sense that we won't worry about this
until the start of F13, since this will certainly be tweaked at the
beginning of the next round.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Schedule/Generic
Incidentally, we need someone to convert this file to taskjuggler format
- see
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/1. (yes, we're using
a ticketing system now. You'll see more of this as tasks trickle in...)
I'll ask John about this -- in the past I believe he's taken care of
this for teams.
PS: Yeah, I know, I should have made the first ticket "not
everybody
contributes to Fedora" or something like that.
"Some people think Fedora is just a kind of hat." ;-)
PPS: Note the level of detail at which I'm trying to write
tickets. I
went a little overboard; they don't all have to be this detailed.
However, a relative newcomer should be able to read a ticket and
immediately know how to start - at the very least, the ticket should
point to instructions on how to find someone on IRC to ask about how to
get started. This means using URLs instead of vague references ("that
site thing") and putting in clear "here's how you tell when you are
done"
criteria. This will also help us remember what the heck a ticket referred
to several years down the line.
I'll repeat all this in a "now we have Trac!" email (which will point to
a wiki page asking people to do this sort of thing), but as a former QA
person, I couldn't resist an opportunity to advocate for good
ticket-writing skills. (Further suggestions welcome.)
This is spot-on in my opinion. Actionable tickets are
self-documenting and make collaboration and contribution a snap. Nice
work.
