Hey Zoltan

I saw that page by Sankarshan.  That is too detailed for what I'm thinking about.  Actually all that would have been a chapter or two at the end of the booklet.  I was thinking of some quick DIYs like:

1. Installing Fedora

2. Some cool Applications in Fedora
    a. NetworkManager
    a. Lets Browse the Internet (Firefox)
    b. Watch movies with Totem.
    c. Moving around with nautilus
    d. Official Liberty with LibreOffice

3. You want more Applications?
    a. What are Repositories?
    b. Using PackageKit
    c. The Terminal is your Friend

4. More Cool Stuff
    a. Workspaces
    b. Wow! It sees my Cam
    c. I'm a GIMP Artist
    d. Chat and Mail

5. Enough Fun for one day (shutdown)

6. Inside Fedora
    condense Sankarshans outline here


Something like that, but drafted like a quick how-to guide to get the end-users down to the business of exploring Fedora.  It should have more of graphics .... then text explaining steps to achieve the illustrations on the Graphic images.

Hi Onyeibo,

I have only made the research - the "homework" so right now nothing is
fully ready. Right now, on the marketing page as I written, there is
only an CONCEPT, what I have begun to build, is here only partially
contents - eg. texts gathered from several pages - followed by the
concept (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sankarshan/FedoraHandbook).
With this, I feel that we could have an universal booklet, that could
be handed out not only as gift, else as an useful information source,
that could leave an footprint about us, what we are doing, and why is
it so important.

Btw: Gobby is an collaborative editor (you could find in the
repository), where we could create an session, and edit together one
file and save and format it as we need. This software is not really
capable to do DTP work, but we could fully edit till the end the full
source.

Glad Someone feels like I do about printed gifts

They make a good manuals, picture story-guides  or even 'hand-fans' at
events :).  A lot of the geek talk get past the head with these regular
users sometimes that all it takes is a few minutes of looking through a
souvenir to reconnect and actually DIY!  Nothing teaches better than
Doing-It-Yourself at the end of the presentation.

Hey, Zoltan ... what's Gobby??
What have you done so far?  Can I have a look?   This could turn out to be
an essential Fedora People's tool.  Is your work known to other possible
contributors ... like the Design Team, Fedora-Art (Often wondered the
difference), and Ambassadors?  I'm hearing about this for the first time and
I'm excited.

Hi Onyeibo,

We don't have such, but it's planned and a scratch POC (proof of
concept) are can be found at our marketing page. I'm glad that you
have you are looking for this, because I have already begun to build
that. However, I'm sure that I need one more hand, and I think we
should meet inside Gobby to design this and put together an POC. I
think the CD booklet is nice for 2 things. We could include to an
slim- or jewel CD-DVD case (or even slim DVD case), what is useful for
giving out info with our discs. I know these boxes are not really
cheap in huge amount, but for exclusive gift - can be awesome. Also if
we give out just the booklet alone, could be useful too.

So, are you with me? Can we push this cart forward together?

PS: we already begun to create printed material, so it's good time to
bring this up at our meeting - that we are on work on this.

PS2: There are huge amount of marketing stuff that needs some love,
last time I have also finished the USB live station stand poster.

Hello Ambassadors,

Just wondering if we have a booklet covering the basics of Fedora (in
print).  That will make a good 'hand-out' in Events.
Something the size of A5 looks okay.  -- OR -- an A3 colour printed material
that folds down to A5 will also be cool.
Do we have something like that?  Where and how do I get some?
