#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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, seems like the discussion steered to the phase of no return to the reasonable output, also it stalled - so we (as a Board) would like to push it forward. I think the best idea for now is try to get interested people to meet together, to check if there's real demand for the change and if so, to start with the real proposals to create a new process. I created Doodle poll - the next two weeks, I can add more option, just it's not very user friendly. Feel free to vote and we will see ;-) http://www.doodle.com/2y43y5vxxizsqyef Thanks Jaroslav ----- Original Message ----- > At the last Board Meeting, the Board looked at the poll results > asking > whether people felt like continuing to name releases.

[in the news]: The Register: Fedora 17: Mm.. this stew of beefy source tastes just right
by Jonathan Nalley 30 May '12

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/30/fedora_17_review/ "... the Fedora Project has continued its tradition of solid desktop releases. While it’s not miraculous Fedora 17 is certainly beefy: it makes a great platform for GNOME 3 while the underlying core has the kind of small but welcome improvements we've come to expect from a new version of Fedora."

IDG News: Fedora 17 Takes to the Cloud
by Karin Bakis 29 May '12

29 May '12

Fedora 17 Takes to the Cloud By Joab Jackson , IDG News The newest release of the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Linux distribution includes a number of technologies that haven't made their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) yet, including a new version of the OpenStack cloud platform, code-named Essex, that the company plans to adopt in future editions of its flagship distribution. Fedora 17, released Monday, also includes the latest version of the Gnome -- version 3.4 -- as the default user interface. Overall, this release contains an unusually substantial number of new features, programs and improvements, said Robyn Bergeron, Fedora project leader. "We have a new release every six months. Sometimes there are fewer features, but I think this release has the largest number of new features we've ever had," she said.

[In the News] Fedora 17 & GNOME 3.4: Return to a useful Linux desktop (Review)

In a brief ZDNet review, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols offers faint praise for Fedora 17: "GNOME 3.2, which was Fedora 16’s desktop, was dreadful. You don’t have to trust me on that though, just ask Linus Torvalds, Linux’s founder. He hated GNOME 3.2. "That was then. This is now. Fedora 17, with the ungainly name Beefy Miracle-no I’m not making that up, that really is its name-is now in late beta and it’s much better than it was." http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/fedora-17-gnome-34-return-to-a-useful…

"The Fedora Project has pushed back the release of the Fedora 17 Linux distribution by a week, from 22 May to 29 May.

Feedback from Distrowatch
by Rahul Sundaram 15 May '12

15 May '12

Hi Serious question; Should the Fedora logo be changed? http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120507#news ' The Fedora website provided fairly positive results. Everyone was able to find an appropriate download link for the Fedora ISOs. Likewise, people were able to find the documentation to walk them through an installation without too much trouble. What I found a bit amusing was that almost a third of the participants thought Fedora was some sort of Facebook plugin or application instead of a full operating system, due to the project's logo. This is one of those things people inside the Linux community would probably never consider, but there's a bit of a confusion over the brand (apparently) where outsiders are concerned." Rahul
