Public Money: Public Code
by Natale Vinto 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hello, my name is Natale, and I write you here in order to ask you if Fedora could be formally interested to join and sign the campaign "Public Money Public Code" launched by FSFE [1], which aim is to promote and support by the law the binomial between publicly funded software and Free & Open Source software. [2] Together with other supporting organisations [3], the FSFE is spreading this concept through an open letter [4] to be signed by worldwide citizens, addressed to their respective countries legislators. At the moment, I don't see Fedora in that list [3], while there are also distro like Debian and OpenSuse. Do you think this initiative could be interesting also for Fedora and Fedora People? Operating systems are at the base of software development, joining those folks for this particular aspect looks nice :) What do you think about? Thanks Cheers, Natale [1] https://fsfe.org [2] https://publiccode.eu/ [3] https://publiccode.eu/#organisations [4] https://publiccode.eu/openletter/ -- Natale Vinto FSF Member #8163 gpg keyserver: pool.sks-keyservers.net recv-keys 6108A191 Key fingerprint = 60DE 9EAA 5489 EE4E F2B6 C8F2 5055 138D 6108 A191

Do we want to promote Fedora as "Linux"? How *do* we want people to find us?
by Matthew Miller 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

This is not particular urgent; just some thoughts that have been turning over in my mind for a bit. Our current top-level marketing strategy is based primarily on the three Fedora editions and their target audiences. We have a secondary marketing strategy around more focused solutions: for example, the Python Classroom Lab has the simple target of teachers and instructors. Or the various desktop spins, which target enthusiasts of the particular desktop technologies. I'd love for each Edition WG and Spin/Lab SIG to come up with search terms that reflect these goals — for example, ranking high for "desktop for developers" might be a goal for Workstation. But, specific editions aside, what kind of terms would we like to focus on? I'd love for Fedora to be seen as the leader in community Linux distros; should we target simple terms like just *Linux*? Beyond search engines, do we *want* to market Fedora in that way? Or, do we want to do the Android-style thing and market Fedora's OS offerings as their own stand-alone brand? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
