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

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!

Hi,
Could we have a press-release for FUDCon KL 2012 which is happening this
May?. 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.

Lifehacker polled its readers for their favorite Linux distributions,
and Fedora made the top five (fifth place w/ 8% of the vote):
"Fedora updates every six months, much like some of the other popular
distros, but you'll find the community behind Fedora tends to stay on
the cutting edge when it comes to platform updates, driver updates, and
application updates. it's fast and it's stable—but be ready to start
troubleshooting when something you've just installed breaks down."
http://lifehacker.com/5904069/five-best-linux-distributions
"Linux distro names started to get 'weird' when Ubuntu arrived on the
scenes with Weirdly Wacky African-inspired Animal names. Other distros,
notably Fedora have taken a more democratic approach where community
members vote on the release name, but that could soon change.
'This cycle, the Board is also asking contributors to let us know if we
should continue to have release names for future Fedora releases,'
Fedora developer Toshio Kuratomi wrote."

A 2800 word take on Fedora and its history from The H:
"To the right kind of user, with imagination and adventure to spare,
Fedora is a thing of wonder. And for other users there are Fedora spins
which give a different set of perspectives for those with specialised
tastes and preferences. The value of Fedora to ordinary users is that it
doesn't stand still, and each new release brings new possibilities."
