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.

How to treat trolls
by Jiri Eischmann 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Hi, I'd like to ask others for advice. As you may know, I'm maintaining the Fedora Project page at Google+. And I have a problem with a troll :) There is a guy who started posting a "WINDOWS 8 POWER!" message under every post we have on our page. It's pretty much spamming and it leads discussions on our page to unwanted directions because people of course feed the troll. I'm considering to ban him, but I don't want to do anything that would harm our reputation of open and censorship-free community. Do you think it crosses the line and banning is an appropriate reaction or should I let him be and hope that he'll stop doing it (although he can do it for months because it's nothing time taking)? Jiri

*At tonight's FAmNA meeting[1] the NA Ambassadors will be discussing next year's event schedule and the possibility of expanding outreach activities to conferences/events where the audience may not be familiar with Fedora's capabilities in their area of interest. Are there conferences or events in any of following categories that you think Fedora should consider attending, sending swag to, sponsoring, holding activities at, just keeping on our radar, etc.? DIY, Makers, Robotics ARM, alternative devices, multitouch surfaces DevOps SysAdmins Cloud UX, UI Developer platforms (Python, Ruby, JVM, Clojure, Web, etc) Example: JavaOne http://www.oracle.com/javaone/index.html Data and Data Distribution Virtualization Methodologies (Agile, TDD) Example: Agile2013 http://agile2013.agilealliance.org/ Community Organization, Processes, and Management Government Enterprise Education Documentation Example: Open Help Conf http://openhelpconference.com/ Project Management Security Game Development, Culture Other During 2012, NA Events included regional LinuxFests (SELF, SCALE), open source conferences (Oscon), and a few subject-specific events such as PuppetConf and the World Maker Faire.

Feature Profiles for F18 - looking for folks wanting to take a feature and do interviews (email is kosher!)
by Robyn Bergeron 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Howdy everyone, We're getting close to F18 (*knocks on wood*) release and in the past we've done feature profiles to cover some of the main highlighted features from each release. This usually is a two-part (at least) process, when doing one: 1: Do an interview with someone on a feature / someone(s) on a group of related features. Interview can be by email, podcast, IRC chat, anything that can basically be captured for anyone to read/hear/watch back. 2: Taking some content from that interview, cobbling it into more of a "story"/article format, which we can then publish to either/both of Fedora Magazine / Red Hat press blog / your blog / etc. A few examples interviews from the past: BoxGrinder: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BoxGrinder_in_F15 Fedora on EC2: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_on_EC2 Desktop Enhancements in Fedora 12: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop_Enhancements_in_Fedora_12 I put together a suggested list of potential interviews/features on the wiki - we can always combine some, think about adding other features / other types of stories (ex: "How our QA team is totally awesome and you should hug them for F18"), etc. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_feature_profiles SOP and current FeatureList are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_profiles_SOP https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList Also: Having screenshots attached to an interview - and the final story - is always awesome. Heck, having a repository of screenshots, period, is really helpful just from a "help out the press" type of way. Have we started working that for F18? (Or has anyone?) Anyway..... ON TO THE SUGGESTIONS! Feedback welcome. Claim your fun interview on this list. And add your name on the wiki. And ask questions! I've done many of these, but realize most others haven't. :) I've attached names for a few people who would be good interview subjects - you should be able to find most of them in FAS in terms of email address.
