Fedora Handbook - Call for Native Speakers
by Jiri Eischmann 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Hi, at last year's Flock I announced Fedora Handbook (a "getting started with Fedora" guide that is printed and can be give away at event etc.). Because it was created in the Czech community, the original is in Czech. The handbook was very successful at Czech events, so we translated it to English, so that it could be used abroad and translated to other languages. We have initial English translation, but it's rough and it needs a lot of proofreading and rewriting which is something that needs to be done by a native speaker. It's written in AsciiDoc, easily readable and editable format: https:// github.com/lukaskotek/fedora-handbook-doc Any volunteer to help? It'd be great to have it finished and printed for Flock 2016. All I need is final text, we'll take care of typesetting and printing. Jiri

Idea for F25 marketing blitz: Delivered in under 30 minutes or it's free
by Matthew Miller 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

When I ask what people would like from Fedora, one of the most common requests is "make it either LTS or rolling release". Since these are very different thing with very different impact on users, I usually dig deeper and find that the real thing is people are worried about losing a day or two to upgrading. I've been emphasizing for a while now that our answer is to address that actual pain point, and rather than changing the way we release, we're solving it by making upgrades easy. And with Fedora 25, it seems like we're really getting there. Since it's one of the top things people present as a problem, and we've got an answer, I think we should develop some marketing around it. I just updated my system and it took about 26 minutes. I think it'd be fun to play with the 1980s pizza chain delivery promise, and have some banners and maybe stickers with related slogans and graphics. (Of course, Fedora is _always_ free; that should be worked in somehow.) What do you all think? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Social media wiki gardening
by Justin W. Flory 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hello all, This morning, I did some wiki gardening to the "Marketing social networks" page. This page is where all of our social media presences are listed. I mostly did two things to the page: (1) Organized between official accounts, secondary accounts, and community accounts (with additional sections for community accounts based on social network) (2) Updated administrators for all official social media accounts that I have access to (Facebook, Google+, Reddit, Telegram) If you have time or know more about some of the other accounts, it would be appreciated if you could give this page a look and add more info. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_social_networks Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Magazine issues handling
by Eduard Lucena 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi Marketing and Magazine teams, Since we decided to split Magazine from Marketing, having Magazine ML and IRC Channel separate from Marketing (Marketing meeting for August 30, 2016) we were working really fine. But now we hit a stone, Magazine have no Pagure or trac to follow tickets/issues. For now, we are working with Marketing Pagure, and we have 3 issues related to the Magazine: 208, 233, and 239. The idea with this mail is to discuss with both teams if we should split magazine's issues from Marketing Pagure, being Magazine still a subproject of Marketing. Br, -- Eduard Lucena Móvil: +56962318010 GNU/Linux User #589060 Fedora Ambassador Latam
