- #info === Ticket #242: "Update release activity steps / process on the wiki" ===
  - #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/242
  - #info Left off with discussion about git forge and what should be included in the press kit. Can make a quick decision on where we want to host this, then focus more on the content that we wanted to put in there and how we want to start building it.

- #info === Ticket #245: "Create Fedora 26 talking points" ===
  - #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/245
  - #info Talking points officially start today, now that the change window is closed for Fedora 26. We're still awaiting feedback from the Council, but we try starting with the raw data that is on the existing talking points page and try to organize that in a way that we can work with? We can also try to task outreach to different WGs / SIGs, but this depends on if we want to collect information by technical grouping or by audience.
