by susmit shannigrahi 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

""Fedora announced this month that by using a tracking tool to monitor unique IP addresses, it was able to determine that Fedora Core 6 now has more than one million users. What does all this metric gathering mean for future Fedora releases? Moreover, what does it mean for the Linux community at large? The answer on both counts: plenty.""

[Fedora-marketing-list] Digg and Fedora marketing
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

I've always struggled a bit with the question, "how can Fedora marketing list be effective? What can we do to amplify the Fedora messages of freedom and innovation?" It's a tough thing sometimes, even figuring out what the precise Fedora message is. We've got some talking points, and they're valid enough, but amplifying that message can be tough as well. So I've been thinking about really organizing to support the stories that *we* think are important -- specifically, getting organized on Digg. I'd like to hear your thoughts. * * * The proposal: Use Fedora-marketing-list to communicate about Digg-able stories. How? * f-m-l members could create Digg accounts, if they don't have them already. * f-m-l members could look for breaking stories already on Digg (http://digg.com/linux_unix/upcoming) or, if they find a good story, they could submit it themselves (http://digg.com/submit) * f-m-l members could then post the URL of the story to f-m-l. Something in the title, maybe, like "DIGG: Fedora 7 Test 1 Released." (Making sure not to dupe stories and split our efforts.) * When a Digg hits f-m-l, members should go check the story out. If it seems like a good Fedora story, digg it. * Be ready to join the discussions around these Dugg stories. * * * Pretty simple, really, and shouldn't take much of people's time. If we get enough people regularly Digging the best stories about Fedora, I think we'll do a lot to improve our visibility. Anxious to hear what folks think. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors -------------------------------------------------------------

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora 7: the Linux Knight in Shining Armor?
by Rahul Sundaram 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi Fedora Core 6 was released on October 24, 2006 and scheduled to come out a half-year later is the seventh major release for the Fedora Project. However, unlike Yarrow, Tettnang, Heidelberg, Stentz, Bordeaux, and Zod, Fedora 7 is shaping up to be the most ambitious release yet. With all the work and reform going into Fedora 7 it poses the question, will Fedora 7 be Linux's knight in shining armor http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=627&num=1 Rahul
