Fedora Fliers
by Jiri Eischmann 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi, I've decided to organize production of Fedora fliers for specific target groups because that's something I'd like to have for events at least in EMEA. I've already spoken with Matt Miller about a "Fedora in the cloud" flier and he promised he would help me create the content. I'm also thinking about other fliers: Fedora for developers Ruby on Fedora Python on Fedora ... The fliers shouldn't be overly informative. They should simply convey several clear points why the target group should use Fedora and what benefits Fedora can offer them. And a link to somewhere they can find more information, download Fedora. I think it's a kind of project that is much more effective to do in person, so it would IMHO be a great idea for a Flock session where developers from respective fields, designers, and people involved in Fedora marketing can sit down and come up with something useful. Anyone is going to Flock and would be willing to participate in such a session? Jiri

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.

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.

Introduction
by Chris A. Roberts 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hi, my name is Chris Roberts and I live in Toledo, Ohio. EST Timezone. My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is chrisroberts, and my IRC nick is croberts. I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through the wiki page and through Fedora IRC chat, and am interested in joining because I enjoy spreading the word about Fedora and contributing any way I can. I am currently part of the Fedora Docs project and love it. I enjoy contributing in that way, I would like to be able to branch out and help make people aware of Fedora as well. This is the first Marketing project I have worked on, and I am looking to learn and help where needed. My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: (Marketing Skills) - Good people and customer service skills, friendly and outgoing Knowledge of how to get articles published with some of the local free press newspapers around Toledo and the surrounding suburbs. (Other Skills) - Good general knowledge of Fedora, and willingness to learn. I would like to learn any skills that could help me be a better contributor to the Fedora Marketing Project. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am currently attending University of Toledo to obtain my bachelors in Computer Science. I also work at a local ISP providing technical support. A couple of people at my work have shown interest in starting a Linux group for Toledo, and we are looking to focus on Fedora. One of the goals I have for the Fedora Project are to get more user awareness in the public. When talking to people just in general about Linux the distro that usually comes up is Ubuntu. When asking if they have tried Fedora, most reply back with I have heard about it but never tried it. I then go on to tell them about our community and different reasons why they should try it. Most people I have talked to about Fedora, who went and installed it, have made the switch. Please help me get started! Thanks, Chris Roberts

Looking for folks to help with press stuff not in English
by Ankur Sinha 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hi guys, I've been doing the English press stuff and updating the list[1]. I see quite a few press releases in other languages too. However, since I don't speak them, I can't really handle them myself. Could some folks please help out with this? You need to: 1. Find press releases 2. Check the press archive[1] to see if an item already been added to the list 3. If not, add it to the archive with notes if necessary. 4. Send a mail to the marketing list with [In the news] subject line, the summary and a link. A good place to start is a Google search for "Fedora 19 news". Page two in my search shows quite a few non English press releases.

Hi, "For those of you wanting to play with Fedora 19 in a different setting, there is now an installer for the Nexus 4 handset available. "So if you have an n4 and a bit of free space, you can play around with accelerated open-source gpu goodness." Good backups are recommended.

[In the news] Phoronix: Fedora 19 Installer Comes For Google Nexus 4
by Ankur Sinha 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi, "An installer has come about to easily install Fedora 19 for ARM on the unlocked Google Nexus 4 smart-phone. This isn't some new official Fedora Linux project or an initiative about having a Fedora phone to compete with Ubuntu's smart-phone/tablet efforts, but rather it's an installer released by Rob Clark. Rob's efforts have been to enrich the Freedreno Gallium3D graphics driver that he started as a reverse-engineering effort of the Qualcomm Snapdragon graphics core. In supporting the Qualcomm A320 graphics he's been using a Nexus 4.
