Hi all, My name is Athanasios (Sakis for short) Samaras and I have some experience in the field of sales and marketing. Actually for a long time I was either employed as a Sales or a Marketing person. My communication carrier starts back in 1990 and up to about 2 years ago - since then I am fully employed as the Supporter/Developer/Technical support/Technical writer and any other IT related occupation you can imagine by a small company - depending on the company size, my duties include anything from writing code and technical documentation to final presentations to potential customers in various countries. At some point that I was employed by a US company I was sent to Jakarda in order to "perform" a presentation - I actually live in Greece most of the time - to both Management and -at second stage - technical staff. A brief CV of my involvement with marketing contains a few years working in Marketing Group of Thermi project (smart homes and remote monitoring - internal project of Greek telecom) where I was involved in all marketing aspects from Business Plan to presentation and leaflets, working as a "Project Engineer" on behalf of Open Connection for a large Document Management Project in UK (again the end client was a Telecom) where I was responsible for coordination and documentation of the project as well as the development of a methodology for similar projects, some other smaller scale activities such as Business Plans for small and very small companies, or local sales to Greece. Last 2 projects involved the design, implementation and productization of an e-service delivery platform and a PDA based e-service platform both targeted to Tourism industry where as soon as I got some one to take over the development from my hands, I was re-assigned to marketing (again from BP to pricing to packaging to leaflets and communication plans).
Finally my weaknesses: well, I tend to write and talk, but you can see that for yourself.
Well if I can be of any use, please let me know.

PS I also participate in the Doc translation team for Greek language and occasionally write at wikipedia.
Hi all, My name is Athanasios (Sakis for short) Samaras and I have some experience in the field of sales and marketing.
Welcome, Sakis! It sounds like you have a lot of great experience to share, and we're glad to have you on board. I've sponsored you for membership in the FAS marketing group, and see you already have a wiki user page up (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Asamaras) - you're all set to go.
Finally my weaknesses: well, I tend to write and talk, but you can see that for yourself.
Around here, those aren't weaknesses at all. :)
Well if I can be of any use, please let me know.
You have perfect timing. We are actually in the last few weeks of the Fedora 12 release, so Marketing deliverables are being finished up right now - it's a great time to jump in and help on things like screenshots or the release tour, especially since you have a technical background as well and can help bridge the engineering and the marketing sides of things. Doing this will also give you an idea of what we might do for a Fedora 13 marketing strategy, which we'll begin thinking about soon.
Are you on IRC? We hang out in #fedora-mktg and have weekly meetings (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings) in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net, on Tuesdays at 2100 UTC (the next one is about 13 hours from now) and that's a great chance to introduce yourself, find out what's going on, and get started. I'm mchua; feel free to ping me anytime.

Hi all, It's been a long while since the last time I had a chat in IRC rooms, but I will "join" the channel later on today since for some reason currently the hell broke loose...
Thanks for your response Mel as well as for your actions.
Mohsen please let me know where I can be of use.
Cheers
Sakis

Looking forward to seeing you online!
I sometimes get my timezones mixed up, so if you're curious about how long it is until the next Marketing meeting, go to #fedora-meeting and type ".nextmarketingmeeting" (no quotes) and zodbot (our friendly local channel bot) will tell you how long you have to wait.
For instance, just now:
13:38:03 < mchua> .nextmarketingmeeting 13:38:04 < zodbot> mchua: 6 hours, 19 minutes, and 20 seconds
So I'll see you folks then. ;)
