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.

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.

Self Introduction: Thomas Denham
by Thomas Denham 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi, my name is Thomas Denham and I live in the United Kingdom. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is tmfdenham, I am new to IRC and would like help getting started! I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through online research, and am interested in joining because I am a desktop user of Fedora (17) and feel passionately about the benefits of Linux (Fedora) as an OS and predominantly FOSS. This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! I have had some limited experience of marketing in my day job and chair a forum for 30 or so people in relation to my full time job which is all about bringing people together. I have produced posters/flyers and had to promote various projects. My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: (Marketing Skills) – I feel I am apt at utilizing marketing strategies and I am used to building rapport with people from all walks of life. I understand the importance of PR and a multi-tiered approach to marketing. (Other Skills) – Every project I take on, I commit myself 100% and really give it my all – I am an enthusiastic and driven person who would love to put that energy into promoting Fedora to the general public and highlighting the benefits of choosing this branch of Linux. I am a relative new comer to Linux and Fedora so would like to learn much more about the core of the business and how I can help to market it. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am working full time and fit in hobbies around that! A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are a marked increase in uptake by the general computing population, and a clearer, wider understanding of the importance of FOSS etc. In my area it is relatively unheard of and I would like some support in marketing to as many people as possible in a clear non-to-technical way. I am wondering about what marketing resources you have collectively in terms of posters, leaflets, online banners and introductory articles that I could use to assist in marketing in my area. I would also like some more information on how this marketing community works as I have little idea! I hope that I can begin to get actively involved in this community! Please help me get started! Kind Regards, Thomas Denham

The use of social networks
by Kévin Raymond 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hi there, I am not involved in other social things than the Fedora Planet and our mailing lists… So this email is about an idea that I won't resolve by myself :). We just had an IRC discussion about the use of our social network on websites. Couldn't we set up a broadcasting service to publish on our official Facebook, Google+, identi.ca and Twitter pages? Like what is sent through the announce mailing list, or to auto-send announce message about the beta availability, the release day… Also shooting the release notes link would be great, has people still come asking "Is there anybody know where to get the info about the new features and capability of fedora 17?" (just this morning on -docs). There could also be something that I am not aware of.. Cheers, -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2
