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.

#125: SSSD F13 feature -- press blog entry -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: pfrields Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: Feature Stories | Severity: urgent Keywords: meeting | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I had suggested this earlier to Robyn -- a press blog entry for Red Hat's PR channel (http://press.redhat.com) that would synopsize and point to our interview on the wiki. 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.

[In the news] Fedora 14 Linux review
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi http://khairul07.wordpress.com/2010/12/26/fedora-14-linux-review/ "I recommend Fedora 14 for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Beginners can certainly install it, but it’s just a tad bit less desktop-friendly for them than Linux Mint, generic Ubuntu and some of the other desktop distros out there. Above all , Fedora 14 rocks !…" Rahul

[in the news] Linux Format magazine article - Ubuntu vs. Fedora: Which is best?
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Thanks to the folks on the users(a)fp.o mailing list for sharing this one: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/ubuntu-vs-fedora-w… (Also available as a print copy.) If you want to skip to the end to find out the answer to the title of the article, I'll save you some time :) "The truth is that there is a distro for everyone. If you want some of the latest technologies, especially in terms of underlying system code, virtual machines and other of-themoment tech, Fedora is a good bet. If you want to have a friendlier desktop experience where your every whim is catered for, Ubuntu would be better for your needs. And, while we're on the subject, if you want to run KDE, you are probably better off with OpenSUSE. There are certainly more than enough Linuxes to go around."

[In the news] Fedora 14 KDE review
by Rahul Sundaram 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/12/12/fedora-14-kde/1/ "Fedora 14 KDE is well suited for experienced users who prefer the KDE desktop environment. The Fedora developers have done a good job blending Fedora’s tools and features with KDE. So there’s a lot of value here if you are a KDE user" Rahul
