Fedora at Northeast GNU/Linux fest
by Jonathan Nadeau 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello list, I'm putting on the second annual Northeast GNU/Linux fest at Worcester State University. Since it is at a University the majority of people that will be attending are computer science majors or students interested in technology. It would be great if Fedora was there at a table to represent Fedora at the conference. If someone can go you can have a free table. Here is the website http://www.northeastlinuxfest.org Thanks for your time and help. --Jonathan Nadeau

Re: Love and feeding of marketing team.

Let's do some stuff! And to both points/questions, how about having the first meeting be a sort of review session of goals and things the team has done before as a refresher for old people and an intro for newer ones who aren't sure how to get involved? Ruth Robyn Bergeron <rbergero(a)redhat.com> wrote: Helloooooooooo Marketing Fans, So...... I will be the first to admit that I've been a little lax (okay, actually, super-lax) in the Marketing area lately. Some of this has just been my time, or lack thereof, especially when it comes to meetings and having them, and some of it is simply that nobody else is really insisting on meeting and getting things done and kicking me in the pants about it, either. :) In the spirit of Getting Things Done, and more generally, having a bit more excitement around this joint, I'd like to get an idea for who's interested in getting the Marketing Train back on the tracks and up to speed. This means: meetings, being a bit more active in IRC, knocking out some of the release-time items, and most importantly, thinking about NEW THINGS we can do either around raising awareness, new things that new contributors can do, or just generally doing new things because doing the same stuff over and over and over is, let's face it, super boring. In short, just two questions: 1: Who's interested in coming to marketing meetings again, and working on release-related activities? 2: Does anyone have any new and cool ideas in the marketing area that we can pick up and work on? I'm here with my marketing defibrillators! Let's get it back together, folks. I'd like to just pick up with getting back at least on the meeting train next Tuesday, and we can adjust the time and whatnot if necessary as we go forward. Other thoughts or comments are welcomed. Flames too. I'm expecting those. :) -Robyn -- marketing mailing list marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

Howdy, I just joined the list and wanted to say 'hello' so... hello! I'm looking forward to learning more about Fedora projects. In a previous life, I started the UbuCon community events, which may or may not still be active at the moment. I've been involved in open source-y things since 1998, when I started with Red Hat 5.0. Soon after, I joined VA Linux, rode the IPO gravy train, and then crashed and burned like most people out here on the left coast. I've been doing quite a few community things since - the UbuCon, LinuxWorld Conference, speaking at OSCON, SCALE, and a few cloud events, and co-founding the Open Cloud Initiative. Back in the day, I was on the marketing SIG for Linux International. So, I hope I can be of use here and looking forward to hearing from the rest of you. Thanks, JMW GlusterFS Community Guy

[In the news] Fedora 16: Linux home for lost Ubuntu GNOMEs
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/04/fedora_16_beta_review/ "Fedora has always been a reasonably popular Linux distro, but now it is acting as a kind of flagship for the GNOME 3 desktop, since Ubuntu has gone its own way. Fedora releases are likely undergoing much closer scrutiny from the Linux community." "For those who've already made peace with GNOME 3, Fedora 16 is looking like one of the best ways to run the new shell environment. Not only is the default theme nicely integrated, GNOME 3 feels extremely stable on Fedora 16, even as a beta build" Rahul

[In the news] Users decide Fedora 17 will be 'Beefy Miracle'
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/12/fedora_17_beefy_miracle/ "The users of the Linux distribution Fedora have voted on the name for the 17th build of the code base. The top choice? Beefy Miracle." "Meanwhile, interest in the latest Fedora 16 beta is proving strong, and the Fedora team have added new features designed to make the system faster to boot and more suited to cloud and virtualization tasks. Jared Smith, project leader for The Fedora Project, told The Register that work was still going on to improve the code." Rahul

[In the news] Fedora 17 Recognized as Beefy Miracle
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi https://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/beefymiracle "The past couple of weeks have been exciting over in the Fedora camp. Fedora 16 beta barely burst onto the scene when along came the codename announcement for the next release, Fedora 17, a.k.a Beefy Miracle" "Beefy Miracle supporters put on a much more enthusiastic, energetic campaign than other codename candidates. There's the Beefy Miracle website, with its history page detailing the origins of the codename. And much like Obama supporters proudly wore the future president's face on t-shirts, Beefy Miracle voters showed their support with “The Mustard Indicates Progress” tees." Rahul

[In the news] Fedora 17 Will Be a Beefy Miracle
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Oct '11

Hi http://www.internetnews.com/blog/skerner/fedora-17-will-be-a-beefy-miracle.… "Fedora 17 will come up against Ubuntu 12.04 codenamed the Precise Pangolin. So for the first time ever, Fedora will have a funkier name than Ubuntu. Let's hope (for Fedora's sake) that the release is beefier too, so they can relish a well name release!" Rahul
