distributing Fedora-sponsored magazines - what's the plan?

[Rikki Endsley]

Greetings,

Do we have a plan in place to make sure the 2k Fedora-sponsored print magazines (w/Fedora 20 DVD) in the Raleigh office are distributed to Fedora booths? If not...what's the plan to make the plan?

I did not know these even existed, I am sure we can get them to our NA ambassadors very easy. Is OSAS planning to do anything with them, or are they for us to give to ambassadors. I don't want to start figuring out what to do with them, if they are for OSAS.

Since Rikki's on the OSAS team, I think we can safely assume OSAS
wants the Fedora community to make a plan here. ;-)

What about working with key regional coordinators on the Ambassadors
team, so Rikki (or someone) would only have to ship these to a few
places for wider distribution?

I will say that the magazines are HEAVY and I think they arrived on a pallet (not individual boxes), so shipping to a location and then to other locations could get spendy.

One solution would be to ship them to a few key, very large events.
According to the Events, page there are two very large events coming
up in October:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#FY15_Q3_.28Sept_2014_-_Nov_2014.29

Grace Hopper Celebration - October 8-11
  (Ambassador seems to be "User:open" -- Not sure if this means no
one's covering, or someone with username "open" is.) :-)
Ohio Linux Fest - October 24-26
  (Ambassador contact: Andrew Ward)

Between them, probably 3-5K attendees. There's no further calendar
entries, but I imagine there might be at least one more large event in
Q4 to which to ship?

Agreed that GHC '14 would be a good place for some of these. Should be a nice range of attendees.

OLF is also good because iirc it attracts a bunch of students and new Linux users.

Forgot to add - GHC is expecting 8k attendees this year (doubled from last year). 
http://gracehopper.org/news/2014-grace-hopper-celebration-achieves-record-re...

I'll be there on a press pass and will help at the RH booth some.

I would propose to distribute them the same way we distributed the 
Fedora 10 years anniversary T-Shirt to contributors. A person collected 
the addresses of the contributors (in this case the event organizers) 
and then forwarded the addresses to the office that was handling the 
shipping. We could ship a large quantity (if this eliminates some costs) 
to the Brno Red Hat office, so the Brno office can handle the shipping 
to EMEA countries.

That way we could ensure that even smaller events could get some 
samples, instead of shipping only to large events.

Thoughts or further comments?

Hi,

people who collected addresses were Robyduck and me and I don't 
have any problem to do it again.

However let me say something about this. We encountered some 
difficulties to get in contact with some event owners, so, if this is the 
way, we should edit the wiki page adding one column for applying the 
stuff request and then the event owner has to contact me directly in 
order to get things done.

See you.

[Chris Roberts]

I dont know how it would work for Fedora, but there is Red Hat interoffice mail we could use to get some of the magazines to Latam, Emea.

As far as events here we can ship some to each of the ambassadors, like 1 you keep for events and then a few extras for people at the events to have.

[Paul W. Frields]

Something which may not have been obvious was that these magazines are
extremely heavy and sitting on pallets.  I think that's the reason we
were thinking of doing a few shipments to large events.

Also, since the magazines include Fedora 20 we want them to get out
while they're still current.  So the sooner the events are happening,
the more effective the magazines will be.
