    • #link http://www.zdnet.com/article/fedora-25-linux-arrives-with-wayland-display-support/
    • #info "So when Matthew Miller, the Fedora Project Leader, says "the Fedora operating system seeks to deliver the latest innovations in the world of free and open-source software to our users", he's not making an idle promise. Today, Fedora is once more the leading edge Linux distribution."
    • What more needs to be said on this one? :)
  • #info === In the news: "Fedora 25 Released With Wayland, GNOME 3.22, And Kernel 4.8" ===
    • #link https://fossbytes.com/fedora-25-released-download-features/
    • #info Not much of an opinion article, mostly an altered version of the release announcement. Still positive exposure.
  • #info === In the news: "JetBrains’ Rider public EAP, Fedora 25, and MapR’s Customer 360 Quick Start Solution—SD Times news digest: Nov. 22, 2016" ===
    • #link http://sdtimes.com/jetbrains-rider-public-eap-fedora-25-maprs-customer-360-quick-start-solution-sd-times-news-digest-nov-22-2016/
    • #info Short blurb, doesn't offer much opinion. Wayland is definitely stealing the spotlight this release.
  • #info === In the news: "Fedora 25 News & Update: New Linux Based Operating Sytem Available Now; Is This Windows 10, Mac OS Killer?" ===
    • #link http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/73507/20161124/fedora-25-news-update-new-linux-based-operating-sytem-available-now-is-this-windows-10-mac-os-killer.htm
    • #info Not much of an opinion offered – mostly repeating information from the release announcement. The ending harps on the inability of Windows and macOS users to run Linux – perhaps this is something to note for future cycles this release.
  • #info === Opinions needed: Fedora + freenode partnership article ===
    • #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/6QOXULA7MW6MFTKMBVFWDRZK35JCUKTI/
    • #info We're working on doing a partnership with freenode to publicize the open source projects living on freenode. A first draft of an initial article to publish was shared on the mailing list. Please take a moment to review and offer any feedback.

• #topic Action items from last meetings
  • #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/marketing/marketing.2016-11-22-14.35.html
  • #info How This Works: We look at past #action items from the last meeting for quick follow-up. If a task is completed, we move on to the next one. If it isn't, we get an update and re-action it if needed. If no status, we'll try to get a quick update and move forward.
  • #info === linuxmodder Make commits and comments to the page now, with action to come next week ===

    • #info "Fedora Magazine feed fails to validate"
    • #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/241
    • #info Checked earlier this morning, and lots of errors seem to be related to images hosted on the CDN (many of which are not currently displaying). Once this is fixed, some of the RSS errors may resolve themselves. Once we clear up any remaining issues with the CDN, we can troubleshoot more specifically and find a solution. Should be discussed in #fedora-magazine.
