by "Guillermo Gómez S." 13 Nov '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, we have a contributor who posted a modified logo with fedora-ve text in it. Is it valid to do such modifications? I dont want to punish him but certainly he has a point on localizing the logo somehow. What's the policy in this case? To encourgae him to make it "the right" or not to modify it at all ?

[Fedora-marketing-list] who has some CSS/wiki foo?
by Max Spevack 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

So I did some minor changes last night to FedoraMain, the front page of the wiki. But I think we need to do a lot more to make it look good. Compare: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ http://www.mozilla.com/ http://www.ubuntu.com/ http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org Here's my vision for the front page of our wiki. But I don't have time to do it myself. So I want to give it to you, and help make it *our* vision. Expand on it, critisize it, etc. I think that a comparatively small amount of effort could make a *huge* difference in the professional look and feel, and ease of use, of our wiki. This is only going to look right in plain text email readers: ------------------------------------------------------------ Stuff that comes at the top of the wiki ------------------------------------------------------------ Two column layout FC6 screenshot Fedora logo Download FC6 torrents, x86, etc. Download FC% torrents, x86, etc. basically the way it is right now, some sort of box around it to set it apart from the rest of the FedoraMain ------------------------------------------------------------ Two column layout Left column, in white Right column, some sort of color bg Fedora Projects General Information now we list the "biggest" stuff like FAQ, Communicate, Projects, with just a few Press queries, etc, one or two words about each "latest news" blurbs, weekly reports, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------- Legal/Trademark Powered by Dell

Estimados amigos. Recientemente, me he adicionado al grupo de embajadores de "Fedora Project", como embajador de PERU. El 21 de Octubre se realizará en Lima.-Perú , un evento[1] muy grande en el cuál muchas distribuciones de Linux estarán presentes, demostrando su operatividad en vivo. Entre las distribuciones que se encuentran en la lista se encuentran: - OpenSUSE - Debian - Mandrake - Ubuntu. Cada una de las cuales mostrarán al público que asista al evento las bondades de cada distribución ademas de obsequiar Polos, Dvds, llaveros entre otros materiales de merchandesing. Es por ello que recurro a la lista, para solicitar ayuda en cuanto a los materiales de merchandesing que pueda ofrecer para el evento. Cuanto con un equipo que puede encargarse de esta loable labor. Esperamos que puedan ayudarnos. Muchas gracias por la ayuda que puedan brindarnos. Saludos, ---Hernan Embajador Peru [1] - Peru Open Source Day - http://usmp-lug.usmp.edu.pe/linux/?page_id=31 English Version Dear friends.

[Fedora-marketing-list] false fedora mirror...
by Max Murdock 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hello... I'm an Italian Linux usera and "Fedora lover", I follow and appreciate very much the work you guys are doing to keep the distro at top level... I'd like to make you notice a thing, maybe you can't see it because you're not Italian... I had to download the cd isos this week so I went to look for some italian mirrors and I found that the one of ngi is RESTRICTED!... http://fedora.ngi.it/ redirects to http://gaming.ngi.it/mirror_maintenance/ where you find this notice: "Dear user, our mirrors are currently available only for users connecting from NGI's IP addresses." Currently? To me it's an excuse: it's been at least months of this situation lasting... I took a look and discovered the same page just some months ago, but I didn't write to you to report this. I'm doing it now to ask you to think about and maybe reconsider their presence in Fedora mirrirs page because actually theirs is NOT a mirror. It's not public as you can see! I personally dislike when one tries to publicize itsself offering a service that actually isn't there. What's more, using free software communities... Thanks for the attention, anyway... Greetings -- Fabrizio Felici Registered Linux User #398394 Registered Linux Machines #300244 #300245 GROlug - http://www.grolug.org/ Di' di NO al TC-Palladium!! http://www.no1984.org/

Yes, I did do some work, but nothing I feel is share-able at this point. Charles Dostale

Hi Ladislav, Thanks for reporting on the init system discussions in Fedora. Do note that unlike what's being reported at http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060925#news, the wiki page discussing this feature is nearly a year old now. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit?action=info Rahul
