We often get inquiries from magazines asking for permission to bundle one
or more Fedora discs with a future issue. This is a fairly routine
process as long as the disc is an unmodified copy of Fedora media (i.e. an
official release). Some interaction with Red Hat Legal is required to
send out an agreement to the magazine.
We can speed up that interaction and the overall process if we have a page
that tells magazines what they need to provide, and to whom, for a
covermount agreement. Generally we need the following information, sent
to the ''press(a)fp.o'' address:
* The name (d/b/a) and address of the company producing the magazine
* The exact disc(s) that are to be bundled
* Contact information for the person making the request

I had suggested this earlier to Robyn -- a press blog entry for Red Hat's
PR channel (http://press.redhat.com) that would synopsize and point to our
interview on the wiki. However, Robyn's pretty busy right now. Kara
Schiltz from Red Hat's PR department is willing to publish something next
week.
I'm going to pick this up and drive it forward, my way of helping this
week on something Marketing related!

Marketing team for the Fedora project.
Hi, my name is Uditha Bandara Wijerathna and I live in Sri Lanka. My Fedora
Account System (FAS) username is udinnet, and my IRC nick is udinnet.
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through Fedora Wiki And one of my
Sri lankan friend
(bckurera<https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/bckurera>)
who is a Fedora ambassador in Fedora project, and am interested in joining
because I'm really like to spread FOSS like Fedora and from my point of
view, Fedora is the greatest Linux based desktop OS and it will be very easy
to spread that kind of OS in a country like sri lanka. Also we've taken some
measures to spread this Fedora OS in to Sri Lankan villages through small
computer training centres.
I've worked in open source and/or Free Software in the past. Some of the
projects I've worked on, or communities I've been involved with, include:
Joomla, Drupal etc.
This is the first Marketing project I have worked on!
My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include:
- Marketing Skills - Good communication skills, Attractive speech style.
- Other Skills - Very good knowledge in Linux Platforms and RPM packages.
Knowledge in RH server management and administration.
When I'm not working on Fedora, I am following my BSc ICT Undergraduate
degree at Rajarata University of Sri Lanka.
A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are spread fedora among
almost all computer users in sri lanka and give'em a sound knowledge in
Linux systems and Fedora operating system. I would also like to see fedora
becomes the most famous desktop OS in the whole world.
I am wondering about that what are the qualification should I have to become
a Fedora Ambassador?
Please help me get started!
Thanks.
GoodBye

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics#BitTorrent
The statistics for BitTorrent downloads are affected by several
issues:
* When changes are made on the BitTorrent server such as a restart in
some situations, we lose available totals. This happened in
September 2009 for instance.
* The numbers represent only statistics from our tracker and connected
trackers.
* They haven't been updated since April 2011.
I feel like when people visit this section they don't feel confident
about the data we're providing there, and that may reduce their
confidence in the page overall.
Is there any plan for maintaining these numbers? If not, I would
recommend removing them.
This wouldn't preclude Jared or anyone in the community coming up with
different or additional ways to make measurements. I'm merely
interested in making people as confident as possible about the
accuracy and timeliness of the measurements we do make.
