</div>Hi Francisco,<br>
welcome to the team! I'm happy to see someone who is enthusiastic about<br>
marketing because Fedora Project attracts mostly people that are<br>
interested in technical aspects of Fedora and not in marketing and<br>
promotion which are also important.<br>
There is a large field for creativity.<br>
<br>
If you'd like to get some hits what to focus on:<br>
* I've been calling for better coordination of our presence in social<br>
media. I'm currently running Fedora Project's page at Google+, which<br>
works fine, but we don't really have any official account at Facebook<br>
for example.<br></blockquote><div><br>I can do Facebook and Pinterest :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
* I'd love to see more leaflets with information about Fedora. We've<br>
made leaflets about free graphic tools (GIMP, Inkscape,...) that you can<br>
find it Fedora, but I'd like to see more. For example leaflets about<br>
Ruby, Java, Python,... in Fedora with information why Fedora is a great<br>
platform for developing in a particular language. We could take such<br>
materials to conferences such as EuroPython, RuPy to promote Fedora<br>
among developers. This task would require coordination between our<br>
language team (to provide info what advantages and tools Fedora<br>
provides) and our design team to put the info together and create<br>
leaflets.<br>
<br>
Marketing activity and coordination in EMEA would be great, too. When<br>
you get oriented in Fedora Project and want to execute your ideas, I'll<br>
be more than happy to help you.<br>
