| Final release slogan is ready for websites/design || Owner || 2009-09-17 || Marketing creates this, influenced by the Design themes/wallpaper/etc. for the release. The slogan then (circularly?) affects the Design team's release button/banner for the website. Need to make sure this lines up with Design and Website's dates.

| Brief FAMSCo on talking points and propagate link to Ambassadors || Owner || YYYY-MM-DD || Needs to be scheduled with Ambassadors. Ambassadors and Marketing should have a bidirectional communication channel - how do we make sure we're really being responsive to their needs, especially their need to listen to our users' needs? We may need more milestones for this.
|-
| Update the press kits on the [[Fedora press material]] page || [[User:moixs|moixs]] and someone else || 2009-10-07 || moixs is updating the French kits. Ideally, we want this done 6 weeks before general availability. We also want the kits to be printable by anyone (no need to get it specially printed by Red Hat due to strange paper, color, etc. choices). This should be sent to journalists with USB sticks when the time comes. This milestone needs a date, and may need to be split into multiple milestones.

== Missing milestones ==
 
These need to be put on the schedule. Are we missing others? Please add to the list!
 
* How about some dates for concentrated blogging, digging and tweeting <insert your favorite social networking mechanism> around test releases and final releases?
* Any particular splashes that happen on release day?
* What else are we missing that if not completed or tracked would make our release less stellar than we would like?
