Welcome, Neville! It's great to see you in Marketing - I've been admiring
your work in Ambassadors for quite some time. I just sponsored you for the
FAS group.
I feel under the spot light, I hope I can keep up. Thanks for sponsoring me.

Ooh - you might be interested in a project Sakis Asamaras is heading up,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_stories.
I have come across this, but forgot. I will contact Sakis, and try to
add a couple of articles to this initiative.

Kara mentioned she was looking for thoughts on international PR strategy -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_news_distribution_network_(NDN) might
be a good thing to look at as well.
Yes, this may be a good challenge. Another thing to write some
ideas/experiences.
Are there any Marketing projects you've seen that you'd like
to get involved
with, or any projects you're already doing that you'd like to add
Marketing-fu to? It sounds like you might be able to teach us quite a bit
about Marketing as well. ;)

I don't have any specific project on mind. I will collaborate with
your suggestions as starting point. I will love to have some
mentor-ship to guide me on where I can put my efforts at work.
Thanks for your warm welcome.
