"CMC" moniker

[Joshua Wulf]

As discussed in today's meeting we're continuing the discussion of what 
the Fedora "Community Marketing Contacts" should be called here on the 
mailing list.

Here are my thoughts on the matter:

I believe... that "CMC" must go (bad marketingspeak bad!). As mentioned 
by gdk in an earlier post, Fedora is many things. It's a distro, and 
it's a project. We're all about community - distro and project - not 
simply a finished "product". We're not marketing a product, which 
implies a monologue - we're building a community: we need a conversation.

I see the role of a "CMC" as three fold:

1. Inquire (hear first, if you wish to be heard - conduit of information 
from the peeps to the project - "We hear ya!")
2. Inform (conduit of information from inside the project to the 
outside: community and wider public)
3. Invite (It's all about participation - Our Motto: "We Make it Easy!")

I liked Colin's way of testing potential titles:

"yada yada yada..." says <insert name>, <insert title> of the Fedora

Project.

...says XYZ, spokesperson for the Fedora Project
...says XYZ, ambassador of the Fedora Project / Fedora Foundation (i 
like that one, it's like something from Trek)

Suggestions so far (from today's meeting):

Ambassador
Spokesperson
Advocate
Evangelist
Local Fedora Contact
Community Representative
