Marketing Team Welcome Mail Template
by wonderer
Hy,
as always there are new contributors and as an Ambassador you get after
Signing the FAS a Mail where some additional infos are in to help start
contributing.
So I thought it might be a good idea to have such Mail send out for our
new Marketing guys and girls, too.
Here is my Mail Template:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MKTG_Welcome_Mail
I hope you like it, feel free to add stuff.
mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

Marketing-trac: #127: FAD at OLF?!?

#127: FAD at OLF?!?
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: bethlynn | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Future releases
Component: other | Severity: urgent
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Dear Fedora Community,
The bad news is that I am taking a 6 week break from this Project. I am
still interested SELinux marketing, free software marketing in general,
and the Docs project as the GNOME beat writer. For now I need to focus on
the Ohio LinuxFest - ohiolinux.org - OLF.
and now for the good news
The Fedora Community is welcome to hold a FAD at OLF on Friday September
10. If this is going to happen, someone needs step forward and own the
coordination of said FAD. I know that the marketing project wanted to do
something FAD-ish at OLF. This is your chance to stand up and make this
reality!
Please get back to me by Monday August 9 at noon Eastern with this info:
1. the name of the person who will own the FAD with contact info
2. and the url of a Fedora wiki page where you will organize what sort of
"activity" are doing and when
If you get this info to me, you will be assigned a room.
Thanks,
Beth Lynn Eicher

Hi Nicu,
The current feature list is indeed a little bit .. ahem... lacking on the end-
user front, you're right, honestly.
The creation of Fedora's marketing talking points is mostly an ad-hoc process
done by, well, anyone who is interested at all, marketing, or ambassadors, or
infra, or design or... :)
So, I guess the question then, what do *you* want to see that attracts "end-
users"? :) Granted, Fedora 14 won't ship Firefox 4 (your biggest
disappointment I'd guess, based on your blog post[1]), but there has to be
*something* that users will care about? Anything new in microblogging on the
GNOME end? What about in evolution or gnome-games or ...? (I'm just listing
off random ideas... I'm not a GNOME Desktop Edition user, and probably dont
have much to give to the "end-user" experience discussion outside of the KDE
Plasma Desktop Edition release.)

I think that's more of a FESCo decision, correct? I'd assume that it'd be
taken out, and the fallback provisions (shipping GNOME 2, basically, with
GNOME 3 still labelled as "experimental") would be followed...
All the best,
Ryan
