Some Idea....please reply

[Giuseppe Pignataro]

Dear Ambassador and member of the marketing list,

I have some idea and want know what do you think about this.

The first idea is this:

1) My first idea is to create a site like linuxcounter for people that use
Fedora.

I believe that this idea is good for two reason.

The first reason is that in this way we can counter the user that use Fedora
The second reason,this is a marketing reason, this is a good way which a
Fedora user can distinguished about another GNU/Linux user.I want that
people can undestand the "Fedora way".I want that Fedora User can say:

"I'm a Fedora user, I'm a special person because I use this distro, because
this distro are the best distro and i have have some that distinguish me
from another generic user.I'm Fedora"

I want that people can consider Fedora (the distro,the community and all
around the project) as a way of life.

2)The second idea is this:
I want to create something like a dating site but for Fedora user.
Ok, I explain the idea about the dating site. I want to create a site where
the user can meet other user in real time.
The site can give at all the Fedora user around the world to know other
Fedora user.Can give the possibility to resolv the problem that the newbie
can have and in this way is possible to see that bihind the Fedora Project
there are real people,and not only a mail address.

Ok,can you say me wath do you think about this 2 idea?

Best Regards,
Giuseppe Pignataro

Hi Giuseppe,

Generally Ambassadors meet together at the events, like FAD (Ambassadors
only), FUDCONs etc... I think marketing contributors, that aren't
ambassador, can join the FUDCONs and the other events.

If you want to join an event see Linux Tag in Berlin that will be held
in the last days of May, there many ambassador, contributors, etc...
will organize conferences, a booth and other activity.

And, for Italian guys, i hope to meet together at the end of July, or in
the first days in September, with the participation of all Italian
Fedora contributors (like translator, developer etc...)

Is ok?

Thank you

Francesco Ugolini

What language will be spoken at Linux Tag? Their site is in German only 
(at least I have not found anything else..). And I am afraid my German 
skills are a bit rusty..

It's a German related event, but many other Europeans join the event,
it's just the biggest event in Europe ( bigger than FOSDEM, that is, at
the end, an European one, but it's smaller than Linux Tag).

We have started http://www.frappr.com/fedora in the past. Perhaps we
should be focusing on that effort.

I see it's an idea from ubuntu :) http://ubuntucounter.org/

Have a look at the post (+ replies) : "the danger of becoming a cargo cult"

Do we really have noone in Australia?  I've just added myself but I'm quite 
surprised.

Well, Frappr seems to require Flash that gnash-plugin can't handle, so 
might not be the best counter for Fedora users (since we believe in 
freedom, and the Flash player macromedia provide, is binary only, and 
worse, i386 only)

We do have many people in Australia but frappr as a group isnt 
attractive to many.
