Marketing classes
by Francesco Ugolini
Hi, maybe this thing could interest few people, but sometimes I faced
some problems understanding the way marketing plan is done and
maintained.
I was wondering if it would be possible that someone, that has done
this plan, could organize some fedora IRC classes, to explain the
concepts behind the marketing plan, and make me, and whoever
interested in, better acknowledge and able to contribute to the
marketing planning process.
Best regards

Self-Introduction: Taylor Perlot
by Taylor Perlot
My name is Taylor Perlot and I live in Hermiston, Oregon USA. I am a senior
in Hermiston High School studying web and computer graphic design.
I'd like to talk about ways of improving community efforts via a site that
would be providing various tools to Fedora users for word of mouth marketing
methods. My goal is to get into detail about this idea with someone who has
the capability to implement such an idea.
I have no historical qualifications or past experience, but I don't believe
that would make me unqualified to provide methods by which to improve the
Fedora Project's current marketing method. I enjoy looking at how
businesses market themselves and what they can do to improve and have put
much time into thoughts of human psychology as it relates to product design
and image.

Cool install Icons?
by Scott Baker
Back in the RH8 and RH9 days there were some cool images displayed in
anaconda during the install process. They were a hot dog and an ice cream
cone, or something like that. Once the install started they would pop up
and say something like "this may take a while, why don't you go have a snack?"
I always thought it was funny, and it showed RedHat's lighter side. That
sort of thing probably wouldn't be appropriate for RHEL, but I think it
would fit in really well with Fedora. Something silly like that to show
that Fedora doesn't take itself too seriously.
Would it be possible to resurrect something silly like that during the
install? The current install images aren't nearly as exciting. Honestly I
couldn't even tell you what they say! But I *do* remember those hotdog
install screens from all the way back in RH8/9 from six years ago. That's
good marketing!
