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.

[In the news] Progress on ARM versions of Fedora and openSUSE
by Rahul Sundaram 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Progress-on-ARM-versions-of-Fedora-a… "As with the ports for PowerPC and s390x, to avoid getting in the way of work on the primary x86-32/x86 and x86-64/x64 architectures, the ARM port is currently classed as a "secondary architecture". Fedora's ARM developers are, however, mulling over working to elevate the ARM port to the status of primary architecture in Fedora 18.' Rahul

[In the news] $25-Raspberry Pi school computer to run cut-down Fedora
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/News.asp?id=66248 '$25-Raspberry Pi school computer to run cut-down Fedora Early adopters of the Raspberry Pi $25 computer will be offered a cut down and customised Fedora 'remix' compiled to run on the system's ARM microprocessor, it has been confirmed. The first Raspberry Pi is just bare circuit board for now but developers at Toronto's Seneca College have worked hard to fit a Fedora image on to a 2GB SD card to boot the computer into a GUI, complete with a small suite of applications and admin tools.'

[In the news] Fedora 16 KDE
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2012/02/22/fedora-16-kde/ 'Fedora 16 KDE is fine for what it is, but frankly it left me feeling rather ho-hum. There’s not a heck of a lot to complain about, but there’s also nothing to get really fired up about either. It’s a competent version of KDE, but it’s not something I would opt to run' Rahul

[In the news] Fedora Scientific, an interview with Amit Saha
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi http://www.floss4science.com/fedora-scientific-amit-saha/ 'Fedora Scientific was a classic case of scratching my own itch. Once I moved into research, I soon discovered a plethora of open source scientific tools and libraries that I used. Installing them everytime I did a fresh install of Linux seemed time consuming and redundant. I longed for a Linux distro which would already have these tools installed and allow me to have a fully functional Linux workstation from the first boot. And then I started looking at the tools available for creating Fedora custom spins and was convinced that my project could now be a reality.' Rahul

[In the news] Fedora puts back Btrfs deployment yet again
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Fedora-puts-back-Btrfs-deployment-ye… 'The Fedora Project has put back plans to make Btrfs its default filesystem. It will now take over the role in Fedora 18, rather than in version 17 as originally planned. That is the conclusion based upon an amendment to the Fedora 17 planning page on the Fedora wiki and a ticket in the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) tracking system. The May release of the Linux distribution will therefore retain ext4 as its default filesystem.' Rahul

H-Online article: New Fedora Project Leader announced
by Paul W. Frields 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/New-Fedora-Project-Leader-announced-… Note that paragraph 2 states the Fedora Board selected Jared Smith previously, which is inaccurate. The Board is consulted regarding FPL appointments, but Red Hat is ultimately responsible for selecting the FPL as this is a paid staff position. I sent a polite correction to the site, and hopefully they'll either print that, or update the article. -- Paul W.

Fedora Marketing SIG
by Ben Gordy 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, my name is Benjamin Gordy and I live in Austin, TX. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is bengordy, and my IRC nick is bengordy. I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through Fedora Ambassador MarkDude, and am interested in joining because I like to promote Linux in the community and Fedora is excellent. This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! (I'm currently improving my Python skills, but somehow drawing circles, creating lines, and general pygame tinkering doesn't seem like a distributable product, just yet.) 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 (Other Skills) -Mentoring SysAdmins I'd also like to learn more about what I can do to help Fedora Marketing. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am a Systems Engineer for Dell. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are spreading the news and promoting Fedora in the local community. I am wondering about Fedora Cloud marketing strategy. I was looking for Amazon AMI's and the latest revision I see is like Fedora 14. Please help me get started! Ben

Internetnews.com: Red Hat Selects New Fedora Project Leader

Red Hat Selects New Fedora Project Leader By Sean Michael Kerner | February 07, 2012 >From the 'Thanks Jared!' files: It looks like current Fedora Project Leader Jared Smith will not be overseeing the Beefy Miracle Fedora 17 release. Smith announced leadership changes at the Fedora project today that will see a new leader in place. Smith became the Fedora Project Leader in June of 2010 as the successor to Paul Frields (who had held the post since 2008). I've had the good fortune of speaking with Smith for every Fedora release during his tenure and was always impressed with his depth of knowledge and insight into what really matters - both at Fedora and for the Linux world as a whole.

The Register: New Fedora Boss Pushes for the Clouds

New Fedora boss pushes for the clouds Robyn Bergeron takes the reins By Iain Thomson in San Francisco Posted in Operating Systems, 7th February 2012 23:24 GMT Red Hat has appointed former Fedora program manager Robyn Bergeron to that distro's next project leader – and she has plans to make the operating system more focused on cloud services. Bergeron takes over from Jared Smith at an interesting time in the market, with the industry increasingly looking beyond the basic client/server environment into cloudier areas, and with a greater variety of computing systems to choose from. One of the areas she’ll be examining is the usefulness of Fedora for cloud services, she explained to The Register on Tuesday.
