Marketing-trac: #126: Create a wiki page for magazine covermount information
by Marketing Team 28 Aug '13

#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.

#128: Press Release for FUDCon KL 2012 --------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: izhar | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Future releases Component: FUDCon | Severity: urgent Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | --------------------+------------------------------ Hi, Could we have a press-release for FUDCon KL 2012 which is happening this May?. We are planning to distribute it to local newspapers and news sites. We are originally planning to produce our own but FPL said that marketing might want to do and approve it. In term of dateline, .. erm .. is 27th March too short?, or more than enough?. The earlier the better of course Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/128> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

[In the News] Five Best Linux Distributions
by Jason Brooks 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Lifehacker polled its readers for their favorite Linux distributions, and Fedora made the top five (fifth place w/ 8% of the vote): "Fedora updates every six months, much like some of the other popular distros, but you'll find the community behind Fedora tends to stay on the cutting edge when it comes to platform updates, driver updates, and application updates. it's fast and it's stable—but be ready to start troubleshooting when something you've just installed breaks down." http://lifehacker.com/5904069/five-best-linux-distributions

[In the News] Will Fedora End Linux Distro Naming?
by Jason Brooks 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

"Linux distro names started to get 'weird' when Ubuntu arrived on the scenes with Weirdly Wacky African-inspired Animal names. Other distros, notably Fedora have taken a more democratic approach where community members vote on the release name, but that could soon change. 'This cycle, the Board is also asking contributors to let us know if we should continue to have release names for future Fedora releases,' Fedora developer Toshio Kuratomi wrote." http://www.internetnews.com/blog/skerner/will-fedora-end-linux-distro-namin…

[In The News] HealthCheck Fedora: Where's the beef?
by Jason Brooks 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

A 2800 word take on Fedora and its history from The H: "To the right kind of user, with imagination and adventure to spare, Fedora is a thing of wonder. And for other users there are Fedora spins which give a different set of perspectives for those with specialised tastes and preferences. The value of Fedora to ordinary users is that it doesn't stand still, and each new release brings new possibilities." http://www.h-online.com/open/features/HealthCheck-Fedora-Where-s-the-beef-1…
