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.

Fedora on ARM
by Misha Shnurapet 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello. To those who follows the developments (and, in particular, the recent CES 2011), the trend towards personal MIDs and tablet PCs is not just promising but logical. Quite a few major vendors, such as Dell (with Streak and so-called 'M02M'), RIM, Samsung, Motorola and Sharp (with Galapagos) revealed their plans to deliver ARM-based touch screen computing devices to consumers worldwide. Along with ready-to-use solution providers, Qualcomm showed-off its dual-core Snapdragon CPU, there has been news on Tegra of NVIDIA. According to analytics, the year of 2011 is to be the rise of MIDs and that of biting a nice piece of desktop and laptop niche. I have a question. What does it mean for Fedora? -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shnurapet shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, GPG: 00217306

Anyone Interested in Organisational Marketing ?
by bhutto aamir 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Dear Fedora Marketing Team Members, I’ve been occupied with my studies for the past few months, but not I can sneak out some time. Just wondering if there’s someone around who can help or guide me with organisational marketing, We are working here with 500+ computers (university campus) and rarely anyone knows about Fedora Or Red Hat or Linux J So I guess it’ll be a great opportunity to introduce Fedora and a little about Free Open Source Software’s. I was thinking about an event, more like an introduction to Linux and Fedora. I hope to find some resources and guidelines around; any help from U.K Contributors will be appreciated. Event: Organisational Marketing (tour fedora) Location: Llandrillo College Rhos-on-Sea Conwy, North Wales Date: To be decided

[In the News] Einbruch in Fedoras Infrastruktur
by wonderer 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hy, here one other pressrelease about the secuirty breach. I must say from the PR perspective I'm very happy how that works out (first info to the community, then out "to the wild"). Thanks Jared and all involved people. Link: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Einbruch-in-Fedoras-Infrastruktur-11… Quote: Das Linux-Projekt Fedora hat einen Einbruch in seine Infrastruktur bestätigt <http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-January/002911.html>, es habe jedoch keine Manipulationen an Software-Projekten gegeben. Der oder die unbekannten Täter haben laut einer Stellungnahme von Jared K. Smith offenbar über gestohlene Zugangsdaten den Weg in das Fedora-Projekt gefunden. Auf den Einbruch sei man aufmerksam geworden, weil ein Mitarbeiter vom Fedora-Accounts-System eine Nachricht bekam, es seien Kontodaten geändert worden. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonderer(a)fedoraproject.org

[In the news] Fedora Linux suffers a security incident - compromise risk is minimal
by Rahul Sundaram 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2011/01/fedora-linux-suffers-a-securit… "Long story short is that a Fedora contributor had his/her credentials stolen and then an attacker began to use those credentials to attempt to tamper with the Fedora infrastructure. Due to the limited privileges of the exploited account (and some good luck) it appears as though there has been no risk to Fedora's build or infrastructure." Rahul

Today's Marketing meeting - cancelled
by Robyn Bergeron 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi Folks, Sorry for the late notice. I'm cancelling today's meeting - I am, to be honest, up against the wall of the impending FUDCon in Tempe with a lot of last-minute details, and I could really use the additional time / bandwidth to address those things. Once FUDCon is over, I'd like for us all to get back in the swing of things with regular meetings, and MOAR PEOPLE! Things will start cranking up in terms of stuff needing to be done, and I'm hoping that some folks will step forward to help out with F15 marketing things. Thanks! -Robyn
