Fedora Banner for TuxMachines.org

[Karlie Robinson]

Hi everyone.  I usually buy the top banner at tuxmachines.org and I was 
wondering if we could come up with something to put up there when Fedora 
8 releases?  (TuxMachines has been very good to the developers who list 
at On-Disk - see http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Projects_Best_Kept_Secret)

Now the banner can be linked to the project home page, or someplace else 
if you like.

I'd also go out on a limb to say that I would really like a banner to 
support the Free Media project in some way, but I'm not sure the best 
way to go about it.

The problem I'm having is that we should try to increase Free Media 
discs sent, rather than requests.

So should we come up something about sponsorships and then link back to 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/SponsoredMedia

Or what other ideas do you have?  We have a little while before the 
banner at TuxMachines will run so lets do some thinking

Karlie, I think that the best to do it's to link it to Fedora 8
announcement when it's out. Regarding Free Media Program, it's unlikely
that someone clicks on banner and starts sending free media to others, imho.

Why would you think that no one is willing to sponsor media?

On-Disk.com customers send more media than just about anyone and I was 
sort of hoping that the marketing team would help market Free Media by 
way of sponsorships.

Forget I mentioned anything.  I can find another project who would like 
the banner space.

I agree.  We've gotten too much of a back log in the Free Media space. 
Your help with getting media out to people is appreciated Karlie!  I'd 
try and coordinate with whoever on the web team is handling the front 
page stuff for the F8 release.  (I guess ask the Infrastructure guys)
