Intro & observations
by Alejo Cerrat0
Hi, my name is Alejo Cerrato, and I'm Marketing Director of a medium
size company in SoFla.
I'm very interested in improve my skills on Linux and colaborate with
the Fedora Project.
So far I've found that if you are not very skilled in Linux it is hard
to follow all the steps as they are indicated to succesfully become a
contributor. And I guess that there may be people willing to
colaborate, but without the minimum Linux skills to do so.
For some reason (and I'm not trying to get any help here in this list)
I can't validate my CLA. I wonder how many people got discouraged in
becoming a contributor because of the complexity of the process, and
the intrinsec bureaucracy.
I understand at the same time that it has to be done in a secure environment.
I'm going to keep on trying and get my CLA validated asap.
But at the same time I'll like to help make this process easier for
the contributors-to-be, people that may lack Linux knowledge but have
other skills that could help.

Promotion of Linux is one of many tasks for me!
by Markus McLaughlin
When I use Fedora a lot more for my own uses, I will write more about it,
since I chose it for my main Linux OS. Right now, I am trying to hook up
with other writers, I am not a Programmer,
just a Super User, looking for alternatives to ALL of the apps I used to use
on Windoze and what
I use on my MAC as well. My mission is to convert regular folks who don't
know Windoze, MAC,
or Linux, and convert them into Linux Users, IT guys can help me out with
this task! Onward and forward!

First slogan ideas.
by Giacomo Succi
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
That's are my first attempt to a slogan for Fedora 8.
"Fedora, an operating system with a limitless power."
I think that is really horrible...
"Freedom; Simplicity; Technology Edge. Fedora. Your operating system."
I don't know if "Technology Edge" is the right expression for this idea
"is always pushing the boundaries of technology"
"Freedom; Collaboration; Future ready. Fedora. Your operating system."
Same as above.
"Freedom, Simplicity, Collaboration, Ready for the Future. Fedora.
Your operating system."
A composition of the two above.
"The future of the operating systems is here. Fedora. My choice."
For me this slogan express mainly the idea of pushing on and on the
technology and the idea of community.
For the moment I've no more idea.
I'm waiting for you critics, ideas, suggestions :).
Best regards :)!

Laptops designed for Linux: Matt Domsch
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Matt Domsch, Dell employee and Fedora Board member talks about the
importance of Free kernel drivers in the upstream kernel to the
selection of Dell systems to run Linux amoung other details. Good to
hear more people get the right ideas and spread it along.
http://www.linuxworld.com/podcasts/linux/2007/081407-linuxcast.html
"Now that Dell offers Linux as an option on desktops and notebooks, how
does that affect the company's hardware selections? LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo speaker Matt Domsch explains how Dell uses vendors'
free drivers at kernel.org to help pick the hardware that goes into the
next generation of Dell products."

README for official ISO spins
by Paul W. Frields
The Fedora Documentation Project would like an updated README on the
official ISO spin for F8. Currently, we are using the updated version
of the same README that dates back to at least Red Hat Linux 5.2,
according to one prominent engineering guru.
This would be a good effort for Marketing, and to make sure we cover the
bases, I've left a short outline on a wiki page for drafting. This page
is editable by anyone and we can set a deadline of 10 days for content,
which we would like to get into the test3 spin if at all possible.
If you'd like to be involved, visit this wiki page and follow the
outline:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/README
If you see something missing, please feel free to add it. The Docs
Project volunteers will edit for grammar and usage, although good
grammar and usage is always appreciated. :-)

Discontent with LiveContent
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
A review of the creative commons live content image derived from Fedora
7. Should we be happy for the praise on Fedora 7 artwork or unhappy
about the criticism that the derivative didn't tool well atleast in the
eyes of the reviewer? Jack, you might want to take a look.
http://www.linux.com/feature/118750
"Nor, unfortunately, does the LiveContent customization do much to
inspire industry. The default Fedora 7 wallpaper, with its air-brushed
armada of balloons ascending to the moon above clouds and mountains, may
not be to everybody's taste, but at least it is unquestionably
professional. However, LiveContent has replaced it with a lifeless
gray-green design of its own with the unhelpful slogan "share, remix,
reuse" and the Creative Commons URL."
