I didn't think about the Geo issue... My brain is US specific :/
Maybe each interested Region could do one...
The virtual gallery is a cool idea but I think it wouldn't attract the
groups that we were wanting to attract...
any thoughts?
also I'll have to resend this to the design list becuase I wasn't subed
and got denied :)
Hi,
Though I'm new to the list, I would consider the following:
# Communication is important when addressing to international
communities or minorities. This is something that needs to be very well
thinken off.
# I've seen a survey link (not active though) on the fedora marketing
resources page. I would prioritize this, as information is power, and
having such tool would eventually help us. If we have a 10 million user
spec, we only need 1064 valid questionnaires to grant a 5% error.
Segmenting our targets would allow us to develop more attractive
communication.
# I would recon that if your objective is massification of Fedora
GNU/Linux, we aim exactly to the points where it does matter to end
users:
- Ease of use
- Productivity (Educational/Corporate targets)
- Support
- Eye Candy / Technology
There is no base on this suggestions (such as surveys or studies), but
I would eventually characterize those as some of the most important
things that newcomers and migrating users would value.
Nelson.
