Marketing-trac: #126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information
by Marketing Team 27 Aug '13

#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.

#128: Press Release for FUDCon KL 2012 --------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: izhar | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Future releases Component: FUDCon | Severity: urgent Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | --------------------+------------------------------ 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/128> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

Coordination in social networks
by Jiri Eischmann 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi, the test season starts and our goal for this release is to get more participants in test days. Social networks are a really good place to spread the word about our test days. Unfortunately, Fedora pages/accounts in social networks are not in a good shape. Facebook - several pages, which one is official and who is its admin? Google+ - no one has posted there since May, admin? Twitter - the only account that gets new posts regularly Identi.ca - the account "Fedora Users" is there, but no posts There are tens of thousands people subscripted to our accounts. That's not few and we should leverage it. It'd be great to have a social media coordinator who'd make sure that all important information gets posted at all social networks we're in, and also persons responsible for individual social networks. I'm sorry if I'm talking about something that has already been discussed at weekly meetings. I can't attend them. Thursday evening is a really bad time for me and I already spend two evenings a week at Fedora meetings, another would kill me. Jiri

Draft of Fedora Java Marketing Brief
by Dan Allen 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

As promised, I have drafted a marketing brief* about Fedora Java. "Fedora Java" is about making Fedora the preferred environment of choice for Java and JVM platform development. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java/Fedora_Java_Marketing_Brief Here's the TL;DR: * Java is one of the most popular languages (#2 @ Tiobe Index, #5 @ github, #1 @ sourceforge) * ~ 8 million Java developers * JVM supports many other languages, which means even more developers * < 1% of these developers use Fedora * Fedora Java SIG has made creating Java packages easy, consistent w/ packaging guidelines * Fedora has the latest and most popular stuff on the JVM platform, including Java 7 (OpenJDK), Eclipse 4.2, Maven 3, JBoss AS 7, Tomcat 7 and JBoss Tools * A Fedora Java Spin is in the works (currently a Fedora Remix) * Fedora should be the operating system of choice for JVM platform developers! There have been huge strides made recently in the Fedora Java story, as I cover in the brief. That's why I think this is a good storyline to pursue when marketing Fedora 18. I think it can help attract a lot of developers to Fedora and in return, those developers will hit the ground running with this comprehensive development stack. -Dan * or what I think is a marketing brief :) -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction

Upcoming testing days: Openstack and i18n
by Ankur Sinha 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi folks, We have a big test day coming up real soon on the 4th of September: - The openstack test day[1] - The i18n test day[2] There's less than a week left, so I think we need to start making some noise about these already! I've requested the openstack team to add some more info to their test day that we can use. The i18n test page looks pretty complete already. Any suggestions on how we should go about it? The complete list of test days is here[3]. Please add the page to your "watch list".
