[Ambassadors] Swag ideas for the general events

[Aleksandra Fedorova]

When I wrote the original mail I had a little bit different picture in my
mind, since I want to create something for 'not so newbies' also. Something
closer to the idea of Talking points [1]

As I understand Robyn suggested to create a certain workflow which will
give as relevant and up-to-date information about Fedora Features. And I
think it could be nice to add the step of creating flyers into this
workflow.

I have created the ticket for the template desing at Fedora Design tracker
[2]. Feel free to comment there.

> Hello all!
>
> I think the QR idea is great, specially if we want to direct people into
> contribute or know more about a specific topic (ex, the design flyer QR
> should link to the Design team wiki page, and stuff like that...)
>
> Now, about answering the question "what's Fedora and what's Linux?" in a
> single flyer I see that at the end, there will be too much content and we
> might need a 2x2mts flyer. then let me offer you guys an option... What
> about a video that explains the difference and where users can identify
> themselves (which will also reduce the time that you spend explaining each
> one and will let you reach a bigger audience) and then, deliver the
> specific(s) flyer(s) that can make this person get really interested in
> Fedora?
>
> Now; if we want to get even more crazy... what if we develop a simple
> website/web-app that let users select their profile and their personal
> data?
>
> ex.
> Profile such as: student or professional, designer or coder... if
> designer? photographer, music or all? ... and go on
> Personal such as: NA, LATAM, APAC or EMEA? Housewives or Police? if
> Housewife, how many Pc's are at your house? are yours? tablet? etc...
>
> At the end, probably in 6 months of release parties and other events, we
> could not only be able to identify what audience do we reach the most (or
> which users are more interested), but also a demographic about the
> situation and how does our users make use of the tools that we are
> offering. This might sound crazy, but I guess that at almost each community
> there is someone with a Tablet that can be used as "our touch device for
> users help" (touch please... no click click :D )

> Anyway, some random ideas :)

>>
>> No, for me, the answer is "What is Linux ?"

>> I think most people don't know Linux.
>> Very very little lambda people know it. It's, in my opinion, the most

>> know the differencies between the distribution.
>>
>> I think we should say why Fedora it's different between Windows (and
>> Apple), and after why Fedora it's different between the other distribution.
>>
>> Jukka say a very great idea:
>>
>> People just do not understand that they are already using linux in some
>> form every day and many times.
>>
>> It's really true!
