When I read this thread I had a small idea - it would be cool if we
had some sort of rotating banner / box / something with a photo of a
person and the "I use Fedora 12 for X" or "What I like most about F12
is Y"... with their name and what they do. For example, mine might
say something like, "My kids use Fedora 12 for online preschool games"

...just to show the diversity of what Fedora offers to a variety of
people. Let users upload a photo and a statement and give them a
chance to see themselves on the front page or something.
Anyway, just, you know, coming up with my usual random ideas :) All
the stuff we say Fedora 12 can do is fine and dandy, but it's awesome
to hear about practical use cases from actual end users, with actual
faces.
Absolutely, I think it's a fantastic idea. Paul and I had mocked up
something similar for the
www.fpo redesign (slated for F13) a while
back. Check it out (the 'I use Fedora block towards the bottom):

Was thinking it could be a rotating set of stories.... what do you
think? Would you be willing to be interviewed for a feature like
that? :)
