Fedora 12 hits the printed newpapers at Nicaragua
by Neville A. Cross 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello, I want to share that I wrote a few days ago to a technology columnist from El Nuevo Diario. In the mail I included the link to http://proyectofedora.org/wiki/Conoce_Fedora_12 This page is an effort to translate for latam the one page release note for Fedora 12. This effort was lead by Tatica, and I was honored to collaborate. Today, I was looking at the sunday newspaper, and I saw that my mail have a good response: (spanish) http://impreso.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2009/11/22/informatica/114077 I am looking to include this hit in the press archive. As Nicaraguan Launch party is due to December 3rd, I am hoping to have more press hits. Best regards -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217

Re: Fedora twitter account

Just a FYI for everyone: the Fedora twitter account has passed hands from Kam Salisbury to Matías Kreder (Cc'd). Here's a look at how this happened: 1. Kam calls for a new maintainer, http://twitter.com/fedora_linux/status/6066293758 2. Matías takes over, http://twitter.com/fedora_linux/status/6081698559 3. The twitter(a)fedoraproject.org alias is pointed to Matías's fedoraproject email address: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1839 Having email aliases that forward to the maintainers seems like a good procedure to follow for all https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SocialNetworks ( in general, if anyone is interested in working on that aspect of our marketing strategy. --Mel

That's fine Kam, thank you very much! Matias, I would love to get some shared responsibility over the account for people like you working with the Fedora Marketing team, so that we can do a great job of publicizing all of the things going on in Fedora over each release cycle, as well as events, new team projects, and the news items we expect to be arriving through our new Fedora Insight system when that arrives in 2010. Please get back to me when you get a chance. Paul W.

Thinking out loud about a Fedora Handbook
by sankarshan 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

A while back I had stolen some neurons from Rahul and Susmit while scribbling <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sankarshan/FedoraHandbook>. The page has a bit of detail but it is somewhat nebulous and tentative. Having a handbook that is "project focused" would be a good addition to release-centric flyers. Would anyone like to take a look at this and, figure out how to move forward with the content ? The original idea I had was to re-use existing content so as to not burden everyone with writing fresh snappy lines. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> Sent from Brisbane, Qld, Australia
