Two of the topics on the marketing schedule are: 1) Update the screenshots page. What is this page? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Screenshots has nothing on it. I put a deadline of next Tuesday's marketing meeting down for this (May 5). 2) Update the Fedora tour page. Jack's currently listed as the owner. What's the plan? --Max

30 Apr '09

I coded a wordpress widget (Its very basic) That displays the fedora 11 countdown http://keiran-smith.net/2009/04/fedora-11-countdown-for-wordpress/ This should help people spread the word of fedora throughout their blogs etc. Im sorry if anyone considers this as spam -- Keiran Smith - Fedora Ambassador / BugZapper - <affix(a)fedoraproject.org> - Free Software Foundation Associate - <keiran.smith(a)member.fsf.org>

Hi Guys, Recently I was looking for a Remote desktop server that Will allow Multiple Users to connect to It. I found one and decided to make a spin. The spin will include various remote desktop tools such as rDesktop, Vino, VNC etc. I was wondering if anyone would like to help out on this project with integration nd testing. -- Keiran Smith - Fedora Ambassador / BugZapper - <affix(a)fedoraproject.org> - Free Software Foundation Associate - <keiran.smith(a)member.fsf.org> - http://keiran-smith.net

Slogan, redux
by Paul W. Frields 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi Marketeers, There is still some time left before a final slogan is required for the Fedora release web site. (Currently we use the slogan "Fire it up" from the Fedora 10 release.) However, during the intervening period since we collected slogans, the artwork for Fedora 11 has changed significantly, dropping virtually all of the design elements on which we based our slogan guidance. This is not a negative comment; in fact, I really like the new artwork, which is quite different from the earlier versions that I liked as well. You might think I'm easy to please, but there are plenty of people who know me that will tell you otherwise! ;-) I prefer to think that our Artwork team just does consistently great work. Now the artwork features a lion (which is appropriate given the etymology of the F11 release name, "Leonidas"). Since we try to tie the slogan to the artwork, I've come up with some candidates. I would like to open the door for 48 hours for more suggestions. At the end of the process, I'll look at the total list and pick from it. I've updated the wiki and invite you to put in suggestions. *Please* look at the ground rules and try your best to stick to them. If you think your previous slogan should be considered, feel free to just copy it to the new table. I'll look at the results on Saturday night or Sunday and touch base with the list with some thoughts. Thanks everyone! https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_release_slogan -- Paul W.
