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.

We are planning to distribute it to local newspapers and news sites. We are originally planning to produce our own but FPL said that marketing might want to do and approve it. In term of dateline, .. erm .. is 27th March too short?, or more than enough?. The earlier the better of course Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/128> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

All in all, I think it looks reasonably decent. I have some comments on some of the descriptions - I think the Overview page on the wiki has a lot of usefulness in terms of description of community/product. My other note is that - esp. in the "company description" since it's the page about "fedora" the distro - we should probably be more consistent in our references to Fedora vs. the Fedora Project - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview > > Company Description: > > The Fedora Project is a worldwide community of people who love, use, and > build free software.

Maybe... and can we break it up into 2 paragraphs? The Fedora Project is a worldwide, open partnership of free software contributors and enthusiasts. Our mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community. The Fedora Project is primarily sponsored by Red Hat, the world's most trusted provider of open source technology. (I'm not quite sold on your last line re: why red hat invests, but can go either way, I'm not too picky) One thing to consider: Is it worth highlighting more specifically that Fedora is the upstream for RHEL? > > Software By: > > Fedora Project > > Title: > > Fedora 17 > > Version Title: > > Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle) 2012.05.15 > > [Note: I put the date there because I'd like to leave open the option of > updated image spins. Open to suggestions on how best to do this.] That's fine, though I think it would be good to make clear that it's not something like a "nightly image" kind of thing. We don't have to drill into details on "how we'd do that" right now, I agree it's useful to keep the option open. > > Release Notes: > > Official Fedora Cloud image. > > Description: > > Fedora is a Linux-based operating system built on our community's four > foundations: freedom, features, friends, and first.

[Avoiding cross post since I think a lot of people are not on both list] I just posted a message "Please review / comment on / help with AWS Marketplace listing" to the Cloud SIG mailing list. I would very much appreciate feedback from Fedora Marketing, since a lot of this is essentially ad copy. I follow both lists so I'm happy for feedback either here or there. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Re: Getting FWN Rolling Again

Yup... and partly why I've been a little more slack than I meant to be. Corralling this many people is hard! And since not everybody is on every list, copying them all won't work that well either. So... I've got marketing, news, docs, and logistics (Insight) copied here. How about if everyone who is personally interested just email me off list by Thursday, and I'll try to get us all into one IRC or discussion about what to do. Does that work?

Copying the marketing list because there's been interest there as well in putting some life back into FWN. How about a cross-team IRC meeting?

Self-Introduction: Adrian Soliard [asoliard]
by Adrian Soliard 23 Oct '12

Hi, my name is Adrian Soliard and I live in Paraná, Argentina. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is asoliard, and I am new to IRC and would like help getting started! I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through when I joined to the ambassadors list, and am interested in joining because I want to share Fedora; This is the first FOSS project I have worked on, and I'm really motiated. I've worked in Marketing in the past. The project I've worked was a website (http://www.parananoduerme.com.ar) that promote social events, parties, sport events, concerts (I closed it because I didn't have time to control the administration and the staff that I had, but I'm working to start again). My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: Web promotion (I'm a (Other Skills) - _____________________________________________ I'd also like to learn _________________. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am: · Working at government, at Dirección de Hidráulica, Entre Ríos Province (http://www.hidraulica.gob.ar) · Working in personal projects or freelance jobs (http://www.adriansoliard.com.ar) · Studying programming (development) at UTN · Reading feeds to get updated about technologies, systems, and things I like A couple of goals I have for the Fedora ProA couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are get them to use in the government (at least where I'm working) and make people knows about free software, use it without fear, and learn to take advantage. I'm a GNU/Linux user since 2005, and I'm delighted with Fedora, I use it only since last year and now I have installed it in 2 pc and 2 laptops in my home. Please help me get started! Goodbye, Soliard, Adrian D. http://www.adriansoliard.com.ar

List of LUGs
by Ruth Suehle 20 Oct '12

Week before last, we discussed in the IRC meeting whether there was an existing list of Linux User Groups around the world, and not finding one, whether we could/should create one. Today I discovered we already did... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxUserGroups Does anybody want to take on the task of working on making sure its links are still working and adding to the list?
