Henrik (cc'd) is 'wonderer' on IRC and has been doing a lot of press kit stuff recently - he'd be another good person to talk with. Finally, I'm forwarding your question to the mailing list - always feel free to ask questions on-list, because there are a larger number of people who may be able to help. In answer to your questions, hosting the images on the wiki would be a good place to start. Here's how. 1. If you don't already have a FAS account, create one - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts. 2. The username/password you just made will allow you to edit pages on the wiki; you can log in at https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin (or the "log in" tab at the top right of any wiki page on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki) If you're new to wikis, read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wiki. Matt and Darren or one of your classmates can also help you get familiar with wiki editing; in-person help is probably the fastest/easiest way. 3. The left sidebar of the wiki has a menu item called "Upload File." It is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Upload and I think the file upload dialog there is pretty self-explanatory. If it isn't, holler. :) 4. Poof! Your files are uploaded. Hope this helps - I'll see you on IRC tomorrow. I don't know your IRC nick, so you'll have to give me a ping - I'm mchua. There will also be others around who may be able to help out. --Mel

by Mel Chua 22 Apr '10

In case some folks haven't seen it yet - what can we learn from this? http://www.linux-foundation.org/weblogs/amanda/2010/04/19/announcing-the-20… "I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2010 We’re Linux Video Contest. We had quite a few amazing videos to choose from, many of which captured the spirit of Linux. Winners First place: Go Linux http://video.linuxfoundation.org/video/1696 Second place: Create Something Unique http://video.linuxfoundation.org/video/1683 Third place: Linux: Free Your Computer http://video.linuxfoundation.org/video/1687 I really enjoy the winning video because it does something important in the world of marketing: frame the capabilities of your product within a broader movement. In technology, features are not enough. People want a cause."

Re: Why Linux isn't attracting young developers
by Jan Wildeboer 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

The *real* problem however is that young people hardly see any benefit in becoming a develoiper. With universities that effectively are microsoft gold resellers, with twitter, Facebook, Apple telling them that it still all is AOL' 95, why should they care? ;-) Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: marketing-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <marketing-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> To: For discussions about marketing and expanding the Fedora user base <marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Sent: Wed Apr 21 12:07:17 2010 Subject: Why Linux isn't attracting young developers Though this seems to be a very specific article, it is still valid, and the most interesting is actually the replies its having. http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/04/18/1557220/Why-Linux-Is-Not-Attractin… In case someone wants to check it out, I recommend it. And yes, this is deeply related and a good source for Marketing people 8) -- marketing mailing list marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
