Hi Ankur, I've got one suggestion based on feedback from FOSDEM: the first page should be more attractive. It looks really blank and tha t's the only thing people see from the flyer while it's lying on the table. Some picture, screenshot whatever... may help. Maybe designers could help here.

Hi Jiri,

I'll ask the design team and see what they suggest. Thanks for the feedback.

Does anyone else from the Workstation WG have more feedback for Ankur? It would be nice for a simple "looks good" if there is nothing further the WG would like to see changed.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the feedback.

It looks great as a flyer to give to people who already use Fedora and want to see what's new in F22 that wasn't there in F21. The "Other improvements" section is getting a bit technical, but that might be fine depending on the target audience.

I've basically picked up stuff from the release notes - this is all just a draft - a proof of concept pretty much. :)

I don't think this would be an effective flyer to hand to people who don't already use Fedora, since it focuses on changes in F22 and assumes prior knowledge of the operating system (what is "GNOME Shell?"). Presumably that's not the target audience of this flyer?

We're discussing this on the ambassadors list. It's quite difficult to have a single flyer that can target newbies + current users + advanced users - they are looking for different information and need to be approached differently.

I'm working on a plan here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Marketing_Collateral_Ide as

It'll be great if the WGs could discuss how they want to market their product a little and provide the marketing team with their suggestions/requirements/ideas.

A nit: don't put quotes around overlay scrollbars (or other things that aren't quotes). That makes it seem like they're not overlay scrollbars at all, but some sort of euphemism. For example: http://distractify.c om/people/the-30-most-unnecessary-uses-of-quotation-marks-in- history/ -- you "matter" to us means you do not matter to us, "beer" means the beer is so terrible it's almost not really beer, "new" underwear means it's been used, etc.

Ah, on it!
