FUDCon EMEA press release
by Paul W. Frields 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/124 Henrik, I'm sorry I didn't see this ticket earlier. I wanted to ask here what the FUDCon organizers for EMEA want to see regarding a press release. Do you want Red Hat's PR group to help you craft that press release, and send it out via their channels in the EMEA region? -- Paul W. Frields http://paul.frields.org/ gpg fingerprint: 3DA6 A0AC 6D58 FEC4 0233 5906 ACDB C937 BD11 3717 http://redhat.com/ - - - - http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/ Where open source multiplies: http://opensource.com

[in the news] First pre-release version of Fedora 14
by Kara Schiltz 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

The H 8.24.10 First pre-release version of Fedora 14 The Fedora Project has released the first and only alpha version of its Fedora 14 Linux distribution, code named "Laughlin". [clip] The most profound change <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd> is a behind the scenes switch to systemd <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd>, an alternative to sysvinit and upstart released in May <http://www.h-online.com/news/item/Systemd-presented-as-SysV-Init-and-Upstar…>. Lately Fedora has been using upstart to launch the system and services, but has continued to use sysvinit scripts. The current state of systemd development and background information on the state of integration into Fedora is summarised by Lennart Poettering, the main developer behind systemd, in a post on his blog <http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-update.html>. In discussions on systemd on LWN-net, he has stated <http://lwn.net/Articles/401441/> that faster booting is just one of many objectives for systemd – some systems boot significantly faster with systemd, whereas others see little difference.

release slogan, round 2.
by Robyn Bergeron 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

In an effort to come up with something that ties into our theme, I've done a little bit of thinking about some of our theme descriptions (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_release_slogan#Themes) I started off with some words, and flipped (err, hit spacebar a lot) through the thesaurus online to see what other words came up. I started off with - emerge/emergence - started working with the words lead, rise, direction, advance... still didn't get a lot of things. But what I have so far is: Rise Up. Be everywhere. Soar. Annnnnnd... that's it. I'm not sure if we should kick off a second wiki table on the same page, or just bring suggestions to the marketing meeting on tuesday. If anyone would like to throw in a suggestion either way, I'm happy to follow. -Robyn

F14 release slogan - question for all
by Robyn Bergeron 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

So - I was doing a bit of poking around on the intarwebs today and discovered that MS has a new slogan (as of July 22) - "Be what's next." Our slogan chosen yesterday (and now approved by RH Legal) is - "Be More." These seem... slightly similar to me (just as far as the "Be" part goes) - does anyone find this uncomfortably similar? Thoughts welcomed - if we have any rapid objections, I think we could revisit it, otherwise I think we can go ahead as previously planned and announce this. -Robyn

Self-Introduction: Luis Alvarenga
by Luis Alvarenga 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, my name is Luis Alvarenga and I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is lcralvarenga, and I am new to IRC and would like help getting started! I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through the web site of Brazil Fedora Project , and am interested in joining because I really want contributing to growing of Fedora Project in my country This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! This is the first Marketing project I have worked on! My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: Marketing Skills – None, not yet. I have some theoretical knowledge about marketing, but no practical work. I am currently working with IT projects as project manager. Other Skills – Creative, organized, committed and with a great desire to learn and help in the development of the Fedora Project in my community. I'd also like to learn through my involvement with the community, like learning about areas that interest me and would like to work on. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am working at Value Team IT Consulting. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are to help promote Fedora in Brazil in cooperation with the Brazil Fedora community, and also to help develop the local community through educating the public about Fedora. Please help me get started! Luis Alvarenga
