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.

Introducing Your Honey to Linux
by Gianluca Sforna 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

"A couple years ago, I bought my wife a new Thinkpad," Slashdot blogger Chris Travers recalled. "She made a specific request: 'I don't want to use something weird, like Linux.'" Though the laptop came with Vista, it "never worked right. It had video card issues, power management issues and networking issues." After a few days, Travers' wife asked him to "'do anything you can to make this work or return it,'" he said. "So I installed Fedora Linux." http://www.technewsworld.com/story/72103.html -- Gianluca Sforna http://morefedora.blogspot.com http://identi.ca/giallu - http://twitter.com/giallu

[In the news] From Ubuntu to Fedora – Landing on foreign soil (the good, the bad and the ugly)
by Rahul Sundaram 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/from-ubuntu-to-fedora-landing-on-foreign… "From a user’s perspective: It is the next best thing after Ubuntu. If it wasn’t for the missing Ubuntu Community, Software Center and annoying Yum it would be the Ubuntu killer. While Fedora also has a community it is hardly as badass and big as the Ubuntu one. With Fedora you are getting GNOME 3. No GNOME 2 anymore. With the introduction of GNOME 3 comes a whole new UX needs some getting used to. However after using it for 2 or 3 days its hard to go back to a GNOME 2 environment. Its a solid distro. I experienced no crashes or hick-ups. With some googling and help from Fedora users and developers I managed to install everything I needed" Rahul

[In the news] Fusion Linux 14 Thorium - Fedora Plus Plus
by Rahul Sundaram 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi A review of a Fedora Remix http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/fusion-linux-14.html "Comparing to Fedora, Fusion Linux is a clear winner, as it only builds upon the existing without taking away. The only visible downside is the increased memory consumption, but it's nothing drastic. However, if you pit Fusion against other leading distros, there's a bit of a problem. While they offer similar or longer-term support, they have none of the crashes and instability packaged into Fusion. This could deter potential users." Rahul

Please help for Fedora Chinese Group verification on Chinese local twitter at sina.com
by Haowei.Lee 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I am Haowei.Lee,Chinese ambassador and chief administrator of Fedora Chinese community. Now I am responsible for our Fedora Chinese site(www.fedora-zh.org). I am paying effort to promote our Fedora Chinese User Group and our site for promotion of Fedora in our China. These days, as I have seen there are more and more Chinese people keeping focusing on the launching of Fedora 15, I also found that there are so many people who focusing on Fedora also keep active on Chinese twitter of Sina.com. That is why I went to register an account for our Fedora Chinese. Local Chinese twitter on Sina.com has gathered more than millions of Chinese people from different kinds of fields. It is the most famous Chinese local twitter site. Everyone here could go to see that site with typing http://t.sina.com.cn Now, the problem I met is that I need to show one document or a introduction letter to verification Dept.of Sina twitter that our Fedora Chinese User Group and our site is under the lead of official Fedora project(say in another way is that we are a official group of Chinese support maintain). By this, we can pass their verification and get the symbol "V" on our Sina twitter account which means that this Sina twitter account had been confirmed by Sina official and it is true. Additionally, the Sina twitter account with symbol "V" will attract more fans to come and focus their news. I am looking forward that if anyone here could help me to provide such document to help us pass the verification of Sina twitter. Thank you very much for helping our Fedora promotion work. Please reply or contact me (cnblue#fedoraproject.org) ASAP if you can help.Thanks all of you again.

[In the news] Fedora and GNOME branding drama: Missing the big picture
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Hi http://dissociatedpress.net/2011/04/18/fedora-and-gnome-branding-drama-miss… "I’m not saying this to belittle Fedora — but to put this whole thing into perspective. Arguing over branding here is /just plain silly/. Depending on which side you’re on, it may validate your “team” (GNOME vs. Fedora, I guess) but it’s /utterly irrelevant/ when it comes to having an impact on Fedora adoption. At best it’s a distraction from actually increasing the market share of Linux — and at worst it’s a validation of the argument that community driven projects fail due to infighting." Rahul
