Fedora- Ireland Website?
by Frank Murphy
Going back to school on Tuesday.
Will have to create a website as part of it,
using whatever app is specified.
Rather than creating a fictitious site,
was thinking of putting together a fedora-Ireland site.
Which after the schooling could be used,
a basis for Ireland\Fedora users.
Looking for some feedback on the idea (1), and the use of the name
fedora (2) in a registered domain.

Re:distributor spin
by Arnav Kalra
this is not going against FOSS it is spreading FOSS to all and if the
creator wants to have something closed source in his OS he has full freedom.
I only want this not to have a patented spin but to customize fedora
according to one's needs.

Fedora Site(s) Getting Info
by Frank Murphy
Just some thoughts.
Might have some merit, might think I'm sniffing chemicals.
1: Bugzilla
remove all eol bugs entries, they're not going to be any benefit at this
stage. May speed up searching and return more relevant hits.
2: Modify the search page, to be more Fedora specific, incl mailing list
archives. Make it easier than google -:- site:xxx.com

What happens with Marketing news beat?
by mhydra
Hello all,
I am confused because I see the marketing news beat in status
"incomplete" for second week. What happened?
I would like to contribute some things to that beat but I am not sure
if it is alive or dead. So, how to continue in that situation? If I
want to contribute to the marketing news beat how to do that?

Pitching Fedora to Desktop users who already want Linux
by Michael DeHaan
Sorry for another desktop thread, but I thought this was an interesting
data point. This is an interesting data point because I think it's
about message and not so much about technical data.
I was talking with a user who did not want to look at Fedora or an EL on
the desktop where they work for the following reasons, and was looking
at using Ubuntu. Naturally knowing that really there is almost no
difference in these (Gnome is Gnome) and they didn't even need the
non-free codecs, I figured I would pass on the comments in hopes that
this would be useful to someone else.
Their Comments:
(A) Fedora is too much of an upgrade process every six months.
This is interesting to me because Ubuntu comes out at about the same
rate. I did not think they were talking about LTS releases, but are we
pitching the ease of things like preupgrade enough? How do we get
more desktop footprint out there -- not just in home users, but also in
companies where there is mindshare (and future contributors) to be
won? How do we make Fedora seem less fragile even as it tries to be
the "best of what works now"? It's clearly a fine desktop. Not much
is required in a desktop. The whole phrase is kind of silly even as I
mostly just want a web browser and an editor, and most everyone else
does too :)
(B) Comments that Red Hat, not Fedora, was disinterested in the
desktop -- therefore they were less interested in Fedora as they didn't
see an investment. Clearly not true. I don't see this being
applicable because it's a capable desktop, we invest well in it, and
Fedora cares very much about this. Again, how do we pass on that
message? Again, nothing technical is IMHO required, it's mostly about
dispelling those statements.
In the context of fedora-marketing, I'm wondering how we can deal with
this image that -- as far as I can not tell, is not descriptive of the
distro.
The user in question also seemed a bit burned by Fedora 9's upgrade
process, which I'll agree -- I got burned too.... something slipped in
that one and it's not my job to say where, but I think that left a bit
of an impression. (Namely, my grub getting removed/mangled, which is a
now closed bz).
I have no inspiring conclusions but thought I'd pass on the data points.
I want to see Fedora everywhere, corporate desktops and making Microsoft
go away seems to be a noble goal (it's free) with huge advantages to
Fedora (huge contributer and mindshare base). Let's figure out what it
takes to make that happen.
