  - #link https://fedoramagazine.org/find-fedora-at-fosdem-2017/
  - #info Fedora was at FOSDEM in Brussels this past weekend. A good number of Fedora contributors participated as speakers during the conference.
- #info === "Fedora Cloud Base Image has a new home!" ===
  - #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-cloud-base-new-home/
  - #info Fedora Cloud images moved to a new home, since Cloud is no longer a main edition of Fedora. This could be a useful point to communicate during the next release as Atomic begins to take a more prominent role.

#topic Action items from last meetings
- #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/marketing/marketing.2017-01-10-14.14.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 No past action items!

#topic Tickets
- #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issues?tags=meeting
- #info === Ticket #242 ===
  - #info "Update release activity steps / process on the wiki"
  - #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/242
  - #info The idea behind this ticket is to reevaluate what the Marketing team does or should be doing during a release, and then more clearly communicating that in a public place, like our main wiki page. The issue we have is that we haven't discussed or brainstormed this much yet.
- #info === Ticket #245 ===
  - #info "Create Fedora 26 talking points"
  - #link https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/245
  - #info As per usual, we want to begin working on the Fedora 26 talking points to share with Ambassadors, the press, and others who will spread the word about what's new and great in the next release of Fedora.
