Marketing-trac: #126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information

#126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: other | Severity: urgent Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- We often get inquiries from magazines asking for permission to bundle one or more Fedora discs with a future issue. This is a fairly routine process as long as the disc is an unmodified copy of Fedora media (i.e. an official release). Some interaction with Red Hat Legal is required to send out an agreement to the magazine. We can speed up that interaction and the overall process if we have a page that tells magazines what they need to provide, and to whom, for a covermount agreement. Generally we need the following information, sent to the ''press(a)fp.o'' address: * The name (d/b/a) and address of the company producing the magazine * The exact disc(s) that are to be bundled * Contact information for the person making the request -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/126> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

However, Robyn's pretty busy right now. Kara Schiltz from Red Hat's PR department is willing to publish something next week. I'm going to pick this up and drive it forward, my way of helping this week on something Marketing related! -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/125> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

Marketing-trac: #124: FUDCon EMEA Announcement needed

#124: FUDCon EMEA Announcement needed ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mmoeller | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Future releases Component: other | Severity: urgent Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hi all. We need a press release/announce for FUDCon EMEA. Here is some general information which could be taken as 'source'. I would work out the German translation on my own, afterwards: ... It’s time to announce two events that will take place in September in downtown Zurich, Switzerland that among more share the head organizers (Marcus and me). FrOSCamp 2010 Zurich FrOSCamp is an annual multilingual two-day event that will take place on 2010-09-17/18 and evolves around an exhibition, talks, workshops and hackfests in the world of free and open source as well as creative contents, also including open standards/systems and digital sustainability. Currently planning is in its early stages but the most important points have been or are close to be cleared. Various calls are open: volunteers, projects, talks, workshops, sponsors and more are coming up soon, like the call for hackfests. We’re in negotiations with LPI Central Europe to offer cheap exams and we’re preparing a key-signing party. More is to come – stay tuned by subscribing to the various mailing lists and/or joining #FrOSCamp on Freenode. Note that the event takes place in the German-speaking part of Switzerland but aims at an international audience. Therefore you’ll see different languages on the lists and in the channel. FUDCon Zurich 2010 FUDCon EMEA is the annual Fedora Users & Developers Conference for Europe, the Middle East and Africa and will take place on 2010-09-17/19 and features talks, hacking and barcamp sessions related to anything in the Fedora ecosystem of end users, contributors, upstream, downstream, etc. Planning started some months ago but we did not get the official “go” until earlier this week. We therefore have conference and hotel rooms ready but were not yet able to plan what the agenda will look like and stuff like that. Nevertheless pre-registration is open and more details are added to the wiki on a daily basis. We’ll try to get the agenda outline, the call for talks, the call for sponsors and FUDPub information online ASAP. Soon bi-weekly IRC planning meetings will be announced but discussion is already possible on the FUDCon planning list. Shared Spirit Both events heavily focus on free and open source software and related topics. We therefore encourage the participants of FrOSCamp and FUDCon to mix up, work together, discuss, exchange and whatever else might help to have a productive time together. Fedora is a major Linux distribution and FrOSCamp will feature many of their upstream projects and also some “competitors”, other Linux distributions and UNIX derivatives – it’s always good to sit together and speak about issues or chances! Shared Location Both events take place in the same building on the premises of the ETH Zurich on their Zentrum Campus in downtown Zurich. Zurich can be very well accessed by airplane and train from all over the world. The international airport is approached by most major international airlines and just about 11 minutes away from Zurich main station by train. The main station is a destination of direct trains from many major cities of Europe including Berlin, Paris, Milan and Vienna and it only takes about 14 minutes by tram from the main station to the CHN building, the primary event location. The shared event location makes it even easier to work together and will allow a single agenda featuring the talks of both events so the audience of both events can fully profit. Of course there’ll be Fedora-dedicated rooms and rooms for all the projects participating at FrOSCamp but there’ll only be one shared keynote room. Shared Party On Friday, 2010-09-17 there will be a party after the first event day just next to the primary event location featuring free (as in creative commons) music by live bands and delicious FreeBeer (again as in creative commons). Need to chill a bit after a long event day? Get a beer or two at the party! Need to get lose of some energy because you only sat around all day listening to all those interesting talks? Move to the party’s dancefloor! FUDPub On Saturday, 2010-09-18 there will be a party in the evening in the midst of downtown Zurich and everyone participating in FUDCon is very welcome to join us. There’ll be beer and some snacks and a great possibility to just have some fun together before the last day of FUDCon begins. More details are TBA. We look forward to seeing you in September 2010 in Zurich for our events. Everyone is welcome and both events are free of charge. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/124> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

Self-Introduction: Viji Nair
by Viji V Nair 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Hi, my name is Viji Nair and I live in Mumbai, India. (I travel a lot in India to promote FOSS). My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is viji, and my IRC nick is also viji. I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through the fedoraproject.org, and am interested in joining because I am working as an Open source evangelist for the last 10 years and a long term contributor to multiple Linux projects. I could see fedora as a bleeding edge platform to test and deploy most of the cutting edge technology in distributed computing and cloud today. I am working with many government and private sectors on migration/development/deployment of their infrastructure to FOSS, so, I believe fedora will be a very good choice as a platform. I've worked in open source and/or Free Software in the past. Some of the projects I've worked on, or communities I've been involved with, include: reiser4 filesystem where I am doing QA, support, and community-organizing work, and FreeIPA where I do more of the same. You can find more details about my work on - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Viji_V_Nair This is the first Marketing project I have worked on! My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: Marketing Skills: My background is engineering, I have to learn a lot. I have a reasonable understanding about the features of Fedora when compared to other distribution, I am already promoting the same in different colleges Other Skills: * I am into core technology, so, I can provision fedora very well into a any technical requirement. * Documentation and wiki * Conferences and workshops I'd also like to learn: The different ways we can promote Fedora in Academic institutions like engineering and MCA colleges. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am working with Reliance BIG Entertainment. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are conducting more marketing campaigns in Mumbai region. I would also like to see more technical events on different new technology happening in India promoted by Fedora I am wondering about what has been done in Marketing in the past, specifically in Mumbai region. Please help me get started! Thanks & Regards Viji Nair

Hi Viji, There is no process, other than doing the self-introduction, applying, and me seeing the mail (I saw the intro, but not the application to the FAS group). Sorry about that - have been packing and moving during the past week :) Thanks, Robyn On Oct 29, 2010 4:34 AM, "Viji V Nair" <viji(a)fedoraproject.org> wrote:

http://www.sdtimes.com/content/article.aspx?ArticleID=34845 "Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader, said that version 14 is especially relevant for developers, because many new features in this release were built by Red Hat's own software developers to make their jobs easier."

One-two punch
by Paul W. Frields 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Hi Marketeers, FYI, we'll be having a one-two punch on the Red Hat press blog today. There will be a story coming out this afternoon, that Robyn put together to talk about Cloud SIG work. We realized that pushing this off to Friday might make it less prominent. At the same time we didn't want to crowd the Tuesday launch of F14 with a Monday story. Leaving Monday empty is kind of like taking a deep breath before the big shout for Fedora 14 GA. :-) So stay tuned to see the next story later today! -- Paul W.
