Fedora Fliers
by Jiri Eischmann 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi, I've decided to organize production of Fedora fliers for specific target groups because that's something I'd like to have for events at least in EMEA. I've already spoken with Matt Miller about a "Fedora in the cloud" flier and he promised he would help me create the content. I'm also thinking about other fliers: Fedora for developers Ruby on Fedora Python on Fedora ... The fliers shouldn't be overly informative. They should simply convey several clear points why the target group should use Fedora and what benefits Fedora can offer them. And a link to somewhere they can find more information, download Fedora. I think it's a kind of project that is much more effective to do in person, so it would IMHO be a great idea for a Flock session where developers from respective fields, designers, and people involved in Fedora marketing can sit down and come up with something useful. Anyone is going to Flock and would be willing to participate in such a session? Jiri

10th Anniversary of the Fedora Project
by inode0 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Just a quick reminder that the next anniversary is approaching fast! https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2012-August/011809… It would be great to get some press around this one since we missed out on the Fedora Community anniversary. It is less than 4 weeks away now. I know some people had plans to do something around this milestone but haven't heard anything lately (although I don't really keep close tabs on what is going on here so I may have missed lots of stuff).

Marketing activities
by Gabriele Trombini 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Hi all, as you know I'm a new member of this group (I joined few days ago). I see lots of wikipages about the activity and I'm a bit confused (I see it's under revision), so I'm trying to summarize here the main activities and goals. Briefly: 1) spreading news; 2) contacts with LUG; 3) long term strategies; 4) dispel common myths; 5) keep fedora magazine; 6) maintaing updated marketing wikipages. Think these are the major areas of interest where team is acting (please do tell me if I'm mistaken). 1) spreading news: of course this team has various contacts with press, magazines, public offices for sponsorship etc. in the whole world. There is a part of activity performed by itself and another with the Ambassadors involvement. In this second case, Ambassadors should have the opportunity to file into the mktg trac a request for sending to any known contact in order to publicize his event in the area where will be held. 2) contacts with LUGs: my own opinion here is different; here in Italy i tried to keep contacts with the main lugs located in the North, but is a lost cause. Often italian lugs are tied to their activities having a specific interest in things not related to an operating system (there are groups interested in hardware, in programming and so on), even though they are using Linux. Besides every little town has his own lug, so it's really difficult keep contacts with them. At last I think this activity could be performed by country Ambassadors. 3) long term strategies: that's a good point. In this area we should work with Ambassadors. Every year each region should produce a budget plan (money, events, goals) that also should be managed by mktg in order to find the best solution for promulgate the main of them. For instance, here in Italy, in September will be held the worldwide LibreOfiice Conference and I would been happy if Fedora could be into it. Knowing the long terms budget of these events, marketing could move to support them. 4) dispel commons myths: outdated IMHO. 5) keep fedora magazine: discussing with Mitzie, croberts and jzb, it's not clear who have to do what. For example we could assign task for each area of interest, avoiding the overcrowding in a specific sector of the magazine. We can launch a call for research of news editors, events editors, technical topics editors, blog collecting editors (I would love to have a "Fedora inside" section) etc. My article proposal is related to what EMEA Ambassador are doing with the Tibetan contributors (interviews with both and personal considerations). 6) maintainig updated marketing wikipages: I saw you're revisioning the marketing pages, and in this direction I think that an index page (which collect all the pages) should be required. Sorry for boring (and for my English), but I want have clear ideas. Waiting for your replies and don't treat me badly :-). Greeting Gabri

Re: 10th Anniversary of the Fedora Project

I would agree on the monthly basis as well, as we would have more time to finish the given topic and make sure it is perfect and reflects everything ;) I also think that the weekly pace can not only tire the people, but us as well in the process. -Zacharias --- Original Message --- From: "Chris Roberts" <Croberts(a)cintrixhosting.com> Sent: August 28, 2013 9:24 PM To: zoltanh721(a)fedoraproject.org, "Fedora Marketing team" <marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Subject: Re: 10th Anniversary of the Fedora Project I agree with Joe, monthly seems much more doable. Plus that will give us time to make sure we get that months topic covered as best as we can. I think this is a good case where trac tickets are usable, I believe it can help us manage each months project with a little more ease. I was speaking to Joe in IRC and we have come up with some good ideas for the marketing trac. - Chris Roberts >>> Joe Brockmeier <jzb(a)redhat.com> 8/28/2013 1:00 PM >>> On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 05:22:37PM +0200, Zoltan Hoppar wrote: > I think weekly basis is much better, as the next Fedora release is not > earlier as 2013-11-26.

However, I won't stand in the way of others if they're going to do the work. I'll commit to taking on some of a 12-month thing, but the prior results of a weekly plan (dropped on floor) make me suspect that a weekly pace is a bit much. Any other thoughts? I'm happy to start creating Trac tickets for the project and putting together a plan on the wiki... or content to let someone else take lead on that and help where needed/where I can.

#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.
