CMCs
by Colin Charles
By now a bunch of you have been spammed with the request to be
subscribed to a new/private list for Community Marketing Contacts. If
you haven't, please do send me a nice little email about you wanting to
be a CMC
Remember, there's a meeting today, and I expect all/most-of-all of you
CMCs to be present
Kind regards

Pakistan and possible potential for fedora
by Marc Wiriadisastra
I was googling yesterday relating to some information about ISP's and
what type of OS's they were running when I came across an article on zdnet.
http://www.zdnetindia.com/news/features/stories/763,59271.html/
Now on top of that there was a university lecturer saying how OSS is
making huge inroads into Pakistan. Now being in the marketing group is
there a way where we can capitalise on this and provide maybe some
information and or howto's or some further information to grow Fedora there?
I'm not sure how to go about this but I know personally the fact that
the government is getting involved is very different to just the
community getting involved.
Any ideas since to me I see it as an opportunity compared to for
instance my country of origin which is in a sad and useless state when
it comes to OSS and the government. :( e.g. The leader of the opposition
in my state doesn't know what linux is.

November's Red Hat Magazine: All About Fedora
by Greg DeKoenigsberg
Talking with Tammy Fox, the editor of Red Hat Magazine, and she's going to
be focusing entirely on Fedora for the November issue.
Consider this a call-to-arms. :) Let's brainstorm some stories. A few
ideas to start:
* FUDCon London 2005 overview
* Fedora CMCs (assuming we've got the program in place)
* HOWTO build your own Fedora Live CD
I'm sure there's plenty more ideas out there. Let's hear 'em.

Re: Distrowatch this week and Fedora (Rahul Sundaram)
by Luya Tshimbalanga
I will check out if that issue magazine is available to my
area. One of my favorite bookstore went bankrupt but they
used to offer a great deal.

Distrowatch this week and Fedora
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20050912
* Comparisons on bootup time with Fedora
* Linux+ Magazine has reviewed Fedora and included FC and FE in that CD.
* The article mentions that the magazine on the whole has a bias towards
Fedora. Someone in Europe might want to get their hands on this one
A new Live CD based on Fedora called Network Security toolkit has been
mentioned in the article.This is precisely the kind of needs that
Fedora's Live CD tool could serve

For this weeks meeting agenda...
by Colin Charles
I'd like to discuss:
FedoraMyths - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraMyths
How can we use this further, and get it somewhat Red Hat blessed if we
need to
FedoraUsers - http://fedorausers.org/
This is a site that hasn't actually been born yet, but I'd like the
relevant parties to show up to discuss how we can have a site that makes
sense to one of our largest target markets: USERS
Does anyone have contact information for who's behind fedorausers.org ?
Whois doesn't tell me too much
Triaging guidelines - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TriagingGuidelines
How can we market to triagers? How can we make it _absolutely easy_ for
triagers to get on the bandwagon? If I didn't know Bugzilla, how'd I use
it kind of improvements, all user targetted
Fedora LiveCD - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi
We have a LiveCD in the making. LiveCDs as we all know are incredibly
useful as a marketing tool (and a rescue tool, a demo tool, etc.). Let's
find some use cases, maybe more developers to join, and lets give this a
spin if there's techincal prowess among us. I think a lot of inspiration
with regards to marketing livecd's can be honed from
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLiveCd
Get people on the CMC lists
Greg has created this, I have access to it, so its time to get off my
butt and get cracking
All this in addition to our current schedule. Just thought I'd put this
up here, so we all have some time to prepare. Yes, hefty plate for that
one hour, I don't expect it all to be done then, but hey, I'm giving it
a shot =)
