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.

[In the News] Red Hat's Aeolus to 'out-Linux' Rackspace's cloud: OpenStack with a Fedora twist
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08/30/red_hat_aeolus_open_source_cloud/ The analogy being made at Red Hat is that Aeolus is like Fedora, the Linux project led by Red Hat whose work feeds into Red Hat Linux, and whose features can often foreshadow what is coming in the next version of Red Hat's Linux disro.

[In the news] Free as in sake: The story of Koji
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi Nice piece of history for those who are new to Fedora http://opensource.com/life/11/7/free-sake-story-koji "During the Core-Extras merger, being able to use Koji was a huge help to Fedora. While some integration work was required, all other options would have demanded much more effort. Red Hat had already been building pre-merger versions of Core in an early version of Koji, so the transition was simply less drastic. Furthermore, Koji's robust XML-RPC interface allowed other parts of Fedora infrastructure to tie in with relative ease. Over the past four years, Koji has shown its flexibility as Fedora's needs have changed" Rahul

[In the news] Alpha version of Fedora 16 "Verne" released
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Alpha-version-of-Fedora-16-Verne-rel… "The alpha uses Linux kernel 3.0, but versions released from late September or early October are expected to move to version 3.1. It includes the alpha version of KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.7.0, and GNOME 3.1.5 will provide a foretaste of GNOME 3.2. The development team has also replaced further init scripts with systemd units. Systemd replaced upstart in Fedora 15. The planned switch to using Btrfs as the default file system has been deferred to a future version." Rahul

[In the news] A Look Through Fedora 16 Alpha
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora_16_alpha&num=1 "The GNOME Shell for version 3.2 is not radically different, but still nicer than early versions of Ubuntu's Unity desktop (granted, Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 is also becoming more friendly and polished). Fortunately, Fedora is always shipping with the latest open-source graphics drivers and other core components, so the GNOME Shell should work relatively well on Radeon / Nouveau / Intel" Rahul

[In the news] Fedora 16 to have Grub2, GNOME 3.2 and KDE 4.7
by Rahul Sundaram 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Fedora-16-to-have-Grub2-GNOME-3-2-an… "The feature list contains 40 items, including GNOME 3.2 and KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.7. The developers are planning to switch to using Grub2 for the boot loader. Having switched to systemd, as an alternative to sysvinit and upstart, in Fedora 15, the project plans to replace further sysv init scripts with systemd units in version 16. Furthermore, Fedora is to offer everything that's required for Xen virtualisation, as version 3.0 of the Linux kernel, which is now expected to be released on Friday, will include all the necessary components."

[In the news] Google Web Fonts prove free fonts are flourishing
by Rahul Sundaram 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-B… "Historically, fonts have been a weak point in free software. There were probably two reasons: first, programmers were mostly indifferent to fonts, and, second, font designers were concerned about how their work might be used. However, in the last five years, the problem has been largely corrected, as a look at the Google Web Fonts page shows." Rahul
