Re: workstation marketing - hardware
by Chris Collings
If the image is big enough, we could have 3 different laptop brands all showing fedora. That would help people realise it doesn't just work on selected laptops, and is portable

Re: Fedora-sponsored specials: All Things Open

Have we any photos or articles explaining more information about these?
I'm just wondering if I could use these locally

Fedora-sponsored specials: All Things Open
by Rikki Endsley
Hi All,
Are we distributing any of those 2k copies of the Fedora-sponsored magazines yet? (street value = $16.99 each) :)
Do we already have a plan to provide copies at All Things Open? (If not, can we make one?)
** Apologies if I'm re-doing whatever official marketing peeps already lined up - catching up on email the past few weeks has been tricky.
Best regards,
Rikki

Fedora 21 Beta Release Readiness Meeting :: Thursday, Oct. 23, 19:00 UTC
by Jaroslav Reznik
Fedora 21 Beta Release Readiness Meeting.
date: 2014-10-23 place: irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-2
time: 19:00 UTC (3 PM EDT, 12 PM PDT, 21:00 CEST)
This Thursday, October 23, we will meet to make sure we are coordinated
and ready for the Beta release of Fedora 21 on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.
Please note that this meeting will occur on October 23 even if the
release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two hours
earlier.
You may received this message several times, but I was asked to open this
meeting to the teams and I'll also hope this will raise awareness and more
team representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams. Also, there's a
Fedora badge for active participants!

self introduction : Mohan Prakash
by Mohan Prakash
Hi Everybody
I am Mohan Prakash from Ranchi, India. My FAS name is mpduty. I am
associated with Fedora Project since the last seven to eight months. I
am trying to join hands with docs, infrastructure and l10N groups. I
have been organising meetings to promote Fedora among the schools in
my city and have been successful in pursuing them to use Fedora in
their labs. I think it would be great if we could prepare a course
book for school students on how to use Fedora. Inspire them to
contribute and try to organise a systematic training.
I have been a student of Mathematics and Computer Science and I teach
these subjects to undergraduate students. I feel I can be useful with
the Marketing group. I am also interested in cleaning up work of the
wiki. I would like to know what can I possibly do in this regard.
I am waiting for an approval for the marketng mailing list.
Thank you
Mohan

An Idea
by Bill Wood
While browsing around github, I somehow ended up at
http://www.unixstickers.com/ and noticed that they have some really neat
stickers and shirts and the such (mugs, posters, pins, et cetera) for
various distros. I figured I'd search and see if any of our stuff is in
there, and the search came up empty. Would this be a thing to look into? Or
do we already have this avenue covered some other way? We don't have to use
this site, especially if we're still looking at doing the Fedora store
(some emails came through in September about it), but I figured it would be
a neat thing to look into doing. I figured it would be nice to let users
get badging and things for their machines and the such, assuming we don't
already have this sort of thing and I'm just unaware of it.
Just dropping it by you guys to see what you think about this sort of thing.
