Hello Fedora Marketing!

[Colby Hoke]

Hi!

My name's Colby Hoke, you can call me choke - that's how most people 
remember me anyway. I wanted to introduce myself to you all. I'm a Red 
Hat employee and work on a lot of the videos you'll see on Red Hat 
Magazine. I've done a lot of the work on the last 3 videos promoting 
Fedora and getting a good consistent "feel" for what a Fedora promo 
looks like. (They're the ones with the archival footage, if you've seen 
them.)

Anyway, I'm a former Computer Science student at NC State University, 
but I switched into Film Studies my junior year and really got into 
editing, color correction, and compositing. I'm a big supporter of 
digital rights and Creative Commons.

As far as Fedora goes, I recently got into video editing in open source 
environments and am helping test a version of Kino that we can roll into 
the Fedora repo. Once that's done, I hope to roll a "designer" version 
of Fedora that includes all the usual suspects (Inkscape, GIMP, etc) so 
that someone can make a video, add graphics, 3D, whatever, and then 
render it to an ogg for everyone to see.

Anyway, enough about that. If anyone has any questions for me, I'd be 
happy to answer them. And... it's wonderful to be on the list.

I am delighted to hear this. We at the Art Team are planning such a spin 
(even called it the "Art Studio" spin), we were not ready for F8 and 
postponed the plans maybe for F9. Some new blood potentially will revive it.
Please join the Art list [2] so we can talk about the topic in the right 
place.

Same goes for me.  I can't wait to see some of the footage from the
Raleigh FUDCon... mainly the sessions that I missed!

I'm sorry to have missed FUDCon this year and hope to have an
opportunity to meet you sometime in the future.

I would appreciate any coverage of FUDCon that you can provide.

Best Regards,

I just finished a piece for Red Hat Magazine and Max will also host it 
via torrent. It's a short interview I did with him and Paul. Good stuff.

Also, look forward to a sort of recap / promo about FUDCon very soon - 
workin' on that now.

If any of you haven't seen the footage by Roblimo at FUDCon, it's pretty 
good stuff. And it's on FedoraTV now...
