Fedora Fliers

[Jiri Eischmann]

Hi,
I've decided to organize production of Fedora fliers for specific target
groups because that's something I'd like to have for events at least in
EMEA.

I've already spoken with Matt Miller about a "Fedora in the cloud" flier
and he promised he would help me create the content.
I'm also thinking about other fliers:
Fedora for developers
Ruby on Fedora
Python on Fedora
...

The fliers shouldn't be overly informative. They should simply convey
several clear points why the target group should use Fedora and what
benefits Fedora can offer them. And a link to somewhere they can find
more information, download Fedora.

I think it's a kind of project that is much more effective to do in
person, so it would IMHO be a great idea for a Flock session where
developers from respective fields, designers, and people involved in
Fedora marketing can sit down and come up with something useful.
Anyone is going to Flock and would be willing to participate in such a
session?

Yes - I am happy to help (though it would probably be on the Cloud stuff). 

I would bet that I could get Langdon White to help out on a Fedora for Developers
pamphlet; he's (I don't think) on this list, so I'll beep at him and ask. :)

Great idea Jiri.

I would love to give a hand on that.
I remember some fliers we had back in the past for Fedora Electronic
Labs which were simple, understanding and providing all the necessary
information you needed in order to understand the project and of
course, join!

We started on some of this earlier. The Python brochures are here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Python_brochure

Sarah White had started sourcing the content for Java and Ruby ones, but I don't know
how far she got. The last email I have, she was contacting these suggestsions from Jiri:

Ruby:
Vit Ondruch 

Java:
Pavel Tisnovsky 
Stanislav Ochotnicky

Great, I meant something like this when I said I wanted to make fliers
for specific target groups.

I don't think this has had any results which is why I started this
effort. I'd like to start with the cloud and developer fliers and IMHO
Flock would be a good occasion to kick it off.

I'd like to ask about the fliers again.
I know we discussed it at Flock and the tasks were assigned to several
people. But I'm not sure if we set some deadline for it.
I really need fliers for LinuxCon Europe, especially cloud, server,
virtualization topics because the event is very enterprise oriented.
Do you think we can get them done in the marketing team by LinuxCon
Europe (the end of October) or should I work on some alternative
solution? I'm of course willing to help people with the tasks to finish
it before LinuxCon.

Yes. What I'm not sure is whether anyone who volunteered to work on content has done
so yet. Joe and I were talking about this yesterday, and I'm hoping to track all that
content down next week. And I'll be at LinuxCon Europe as well, so I'll make sure
they get there.

The nice thing is if we produce them, we will have them worldwide.

Fedora in the cloud seems like a good one, as does Fedora for
developers. I think "Ruby on Fedora" may be a bit too fine-grained.

So we'll need an online page to complement the flyer?

I don't think we did, no. I've created trac tickets for two flyers so
far:

- Fedora for Cloud and Virtualization
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/136
- Fedora for Server
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/137

I think "Fedora for Developers" would also be a good one to have done by
end of this release cycle, but may not be needed by LinuxCon EU. Others
may disagree, feel free to speak up!

Please add yourself to CC on the existing trac tickets and we can work
together on content. I can work on content, but I will need help with
actually producing something visually appealing. Volunteers?

Actually, it'd be wonderful if we had a template (maybe we do already?)
that that we could fit text into. 

Best,

As far as I can tell, nobody's started on it yet. I hope someone will
speak up shortly if they have, so we don't duplicate effort. I will get
started on the ones that I've opened Trac tickets for.

We essentially do--I repurposed the one from when they were for photographers, musicians,
etc. to the one we did for PyCon about Python. It's easy to drop in the content once
we do. I have it on the wiki, but I'm at OHS right now dashing off emails, so if you
don't see it, I'll point to it when I'm more really-online. :-)

These? 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_Fedora_flyer

The file for the top one seems to have gone missing, but others are on
the wiki. 

I really like the "Landscape German" one (A5, what looks to be a
four-page layout when printed), but would like to cut that down to a
2-pager and have a variant for U.S. Letter. 

Best,

Nope it's these
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/SXSW_Materials#Brochures

Emily Dirsh designed them the source is in Inkscape, should be on the 
wiki. Sounds like Ruth templatized it which is great but I don't know 
where that might be.

I just added myself.

We might want to file a ticket in the design team trac, but hard to say
when it would get done. Something new an fresh would be nice, but the
existing templates are good, too.

BTW I don't need the fliers for LinuxCon Europe printed. I can take care
of that. I've got a good vendor here in Europe.

That sounds cooler than what I did, which was make it usable for the Python ones. :-) I
don't think I ever uploaded a blank version though.
