post on Fedora Marketing and Abassadors on Council mailing list
by Matthew Miller
I just posted a kinda long message about marketing and ambassadors to
the Fedora Council discussion mailing list
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/council-discuss/2015-October/01...>
I know not everyone on these lists is subscribed to every other one,
and rather than cross-posting and watching the discussion get
fragmented, I decided to post just in the one place. However, I'm
interested in all of your feedback, so I'm also cross-posting *this* a
bunch of places.
Don't respond here, please — instead, if you're interested in this kind
of thing, please join the Council list and followup there. Thanks!

It would be a pity if "Flock is a better FUDCon" because the corollary
is "FUDCon is a bad Flock". Instead of going down that zero-sum path,
it would worthwhile to have structured discussions around outreach and
how the project itself can accrue value by gaining more contributors
(and mind-share).
Organizing a FUDCon (like the PP) at a place with minimum contributor
presence without looking at a plan for a build-up to the main event
does make it capital intensive. Local speakers (who are absent) are
supplanted by speakers who have flown in. It may make for a good
event, but I would think it makes for a shaky foundation to sustained
growth. If large events like FUDCon are not creating enough impact,
what alternatives exist to ensure that there is growth. In fact, do we
know for sure that there is lack of growth? Can we look at what other
OpenSource projects are popular in the region and attempt to build
alliances? Do we do this already?
