Marketing-trac: #126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information

#126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: other | Severity: urgent Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- 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 -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/126> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

#125: SSSD F13 feature -- press blog entry -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: pfrields Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: F14a: Pre-alpha Component: Feature Stories | Severity: urgent Keywords: meeting | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- 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! -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/125> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

Self-Introduction: Uditha Bandara Wijerathna
by Uditha Bandara Wijerathna 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

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 - Uditha Bandara Wijerathna -

Statistics on BitTorrent
by Paul W. Frields 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

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. -- Paul W.

Thanks to the excellent work of the Fedora design team, they have been making some custom logos using as a basis the original logo<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#FUDCon> to personalize them according to each location.

Now, This is the logo that so far, will be used for the next FUDcon NA, which will be held in Blacksburg<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012>, but we need your opinion and ideas… tell us, What do you think? http://bit.ly/otaFc4 -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:tatica LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56
