Self Introduction : Biraj Karmakar

[Biraj Karmakar]

Hi, my name is Biraj Karmakar and I live in Barasat, Kolkata , INDIA.
My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is
biraj(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Biraj), and my IRC nick is
also biraj.

I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through MarkDude., and am
interested in joining because it spreads news on all major development
updates, releases, new projects and events related to Fedora. I want
to work closely with the Fedora Ambassadors who spread the word about
Fedora at events and allow the Fedora Project to interact directly
with its existing and prospective users.

I am working in open source and/or Free Software in the present. Some
of the projects I am working on
TRANSIFEX(https://transifex.net/projects/p/transifex/team/bn_IN) , and
MOZILLA THUNDER BIRD TRANSLATION(http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/).

My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing ...

Marketing skills:
 I have to look "Marketing" up on Wikipedia, actually... I am an
engineering student.

Other skills:
 I keep/make pages good-lookin', spam-free, well-linked.
 I have learnt C and BASIC,python, PHP, SQL,during my schooldays.

I'd also like to learn about many linux magazine.

When I'm not working on Fedora, I am studying at college.

I am wondering about what has been done in Marketing in the past.

Please help me get started!

Hello Biraj,

Nice to see an engineering students with the Marketing and welcome to the
team. As an engineer I could assure you that we are the best for marketing
:) , so you are at the right place.

As Suresh noted you can find all info at the marketing wiki page[1] about
how and what to do as a marketing team member.
As you have mentioned magazines are a good place beside I think it is geed
to use social network to spread the fedora OS and the project as well. I
prefer spreading the fedora project among other university students. May be
you can educate your Computer Engineering students about Fedora protect and
ask them to join with the project.

Please refer the wiki and if you need further help lease ask.
Looking forward to work with you.
