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.

interview with frostbite media
by Neville A. Cross 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hello, Last meeting we were discusing about ways to promote what we have been doing in our side of the world. I did mention that I got scheduled for an interview, which just happened. The talk centered of what is going on with Fedora on this side of the world... nice match isn't it? Anyway, my interview has just finished, and will no be available right now, but it will be soon at where there is already two more interviews. http://www.frostbitemedia.org/node/8 Look on the left for "This Week In Fedora" -> OGG Feed I passed some emails of other fedora contributors, maybe we can get more people around the globe. Finally, I think those interview should be mentioned on the News stream as other blog post that fedora got. Best regard, and have nice weekend. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check: http://www.clickmanagua.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

linux.pt and Fedora
by Nelson Marques 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I've finally got hold of the person which is still working on linux.pt and had a small chat with him. Currently Linux.PT provides some minimalist information which isn't actually accurate. I don't believe we should offer another site, instead we could use a host like fedoraproject.linux.pt pointing to the /pt of our wiki. This would most likely be nicer to get people enrolled directly with Fedora, and eventually like Paul said in the past, let the community grow inside the international Fedora Community. Anyway, please feel free to make suggestions on how the best way to accomplish this according to Fedora guidelines. nelson.

document template
by Nelson Marques 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Dear all, In the nearby future I will need to use some documents to pass on information in alternative formats, namely PDF to support some contents I will share on the wiki. This came up as I was organizing my notes from the last 4 years of school and eventually found many contents I would like to share with Fedora and in general with the free software community. Since my main goal is to make them available for Fedora, I've created a small OpenOffice.org Write Template (which does require mgopen-modata-fonts). I haven't placed it online, so if anyone around wants to share some opinions in order to improve it and make it more consistent with Fedora branding, please feel free to do such. Nelson

Moving notice #1
by Paul W. Frields 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

This morning I posted moving notice #1 to our Twitter feed via HootSuite: http://twitter.com/fedora_linux/status/17418599783 So far I think I've invited everyone to the management of Twitter @fedora on HootSuite who was managing @fedora_linux before. If I somehow missed you. The only person I didn't add back in was Ashwin Date because I can't find any Fedora Account System entry for him. I was hoping to hear back specifically from Matias Kreder, just to triple-check that he's on board with our plan. We've had several email discussions over the past few months in addition to our meeting notes, but I always like to have some confirmation that everyone's in sync. -- Paul W.

[in the news] New project leader wears the Fedora
by Kara Schiltz 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

The Register 6.29.10 New project leader wears the Fedora Taking over for 'Laughlin' 14 release By Timothy Prickett Morgan Paul Frields, who has been getting his paycheck from Red Hat to run the Fedora development Linux variant since 2008, is moving back inside the company to work on Enterprise Linux, and an outsider named Jared Smith is being brought in as the new Fedora Project Leader. Frields joined Red Hat in February 2008, replacing Max Spevack, another Red Hat employee who ran the open source Linux development product from February 2006 until Frields took over. Smith will take over the FPL position (which is a full-time job with a Red Hat paycheck) to steer the development of Fedora 14, something that Frields already got the ball rolling on.

SWOT - Comparative Analysis
by Nelson Marques 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi, For SWOT (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT) and specially to comparative Analysis ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Comparative_Analysis) I need a couple of guidelines, for which I will not decide upon, since I'm not the most qualified person to engage or set on stone those. I've proposed on the layout the following comparative analysis: - Fedora and Ubuntu - Fedora and openSuSE - Fedora and Debian - Fedora and Slackware - Fedora and Arch Linux To perform this, I'm going to cover 2 things from the marketing perspective: 1. Marketing Mix 2. Communication Mix This 2 points I can manage well and there won't be much trouble, but I would like to place also some more information on this, something we can translate into charts or graphs and that on the end we can actually combine them all. I was thinking on the following: > Ease of Installation (rated in scale, 1-10); > Out of the Box install success in common hardware (mainstream hardware) > Out of the Box security; > Average Time of Installation; > Boot time (power on to GDM login); Now, what more should we use to complete it? Factors we can measure in a scale from 1-10 and that are relevant in therms of comparison to another distros, any more suggestions? -- nelson marques nmo.marques(a)gmail.com
