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.

Why is there no Fedora Project Store?
by Michael Dinon 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hi All, First off appologies in advance if question has been covered before and this isn't the right list, has there ever been any thought to have a Fedora store where proceeds from T-Shirt, laptop bag, stickers, and coffee mugs could benefit the Fedora project? Basically something like the store for the GNOME project. I am sure there must be a good reason why this doesn't already exist for the Fedora project, but I haven't found it as of yet. Oh and yes I know of the Red Hat mini Fedora store. -- Mike

[In the news] Linux distributions to include /run/ directory
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Linux-distributions-to-include-run-d… "Poettering says that the introduction of the new directory wasn't just his own idea but that it has been discussed among the Debian, Fedora, Suse and Upstart developers; Colin Watson said that he is happy to support the use of the new directory in Ubuntu. Poettering indicated that many developers working in this area may have wanted something like /run for quite a while, but that they may have feared the potential political consequences and discussions" Rahul

[In the news] Fedora introduces new top-level directory for runtime data
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/72645 "Fedora 15 will come with a lot of new features and interesting changes — including a whole new top-level directory in the form of /run for runtime data. This may sound trivial to many, but top-level directories tend to be a touchy topic in some circles. Consider that there's an entire standard that was hashed out years ago, it's surprising to see a top-level directory casually introduced. But Poettering says that he already has buy-in from the other major distributions" Rahul

[In the news] Update on Fedora 15 Development - GNOME 3 Shell Updates
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi http://www.montanalinux.org/fedora15-devel-update-20110326.html "I've been using the GNOME 3 Shell more and I really like the changes they've made since the Fedora 15 Alpha release. These changes include larger icons in the Applications list and auto-managed virtual desktops. Some people call this a "dumbing down" of the interface but I prefer to call it streamlining. If you have a lot of previous GNOME 2.x experience you might perceive it to be counter-intuitive... but give it a little while. The streamlining really makes the new environment easy to learn and use. It is elegant, and as one blogger put it... "it looks expensive"." Rahul

[In the news] Red Hat Proves That Open Source Is Good for Business
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/223346/red_hat_proves_that_op… "Critics of free and open source software are fond of making the argument that software must be locked up, patented and jealously guarded if it is to serve as the basis for a successful business. Well, Red Hat just refuted such claims in a big way this week with its fourth quarter earnings report, which blew away analysts' expectations and placed the company well on track for billion-dollar revenues in the upcoming year." "Based in North Carolina, Red Hat is the company behind both the Fedora and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Linux distributions. Fedora is the free, community version of the software, while RHEL is sold as a commercial product with support and services." Rahul

[In the news] Tim Burke: Ext4 Is Not Going Anywhere Any Time Soon
by Rahul Sundaram 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi http://www.muktware.com/n/19/2011/846/tim-burke-ext4-not-going-anywhere-any… "Red Hat engineers work actively to develop these features in the upstream kernel, work both with the Fedora community and others to integrate them for early adopters and then evaluate when they are robust enough for enterprise users." "*//*File systems are very long lived in the field since users tend to maintain them for years and years. In many cases, enterprise users have external storage so the storage will survive several generations of servers. That means that ext4 is not going anywhere any time soon! That said, Red Hat is an active contributor to the btrfs project and we are actively working on getting some of the key inhibitors for wide btrfs deployment finished with the upstream community" Rahul
