Hy there,
I had a short look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Press and I "miss" a press-kit, a lets say "press information document", a short doc where all necessary things a journalist needs to know about fedora is presented. Is there a need for it? If yes, I would be glad to write one.
best regards Henrik

I would love to have a text like that, and also that has been reviewed for several people. I offer to translate that to Spanish.

I'd say that even if there is no need for it, everyone would be glad if you could write one :)

Maybe you can enhance or translate what we wrote for CLT08. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA#Press
somewhere is also a good Flyer from FabianAffolter with a good generic text!
As you the 3 Foundations has changed into 4 new http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-July/msg00142.html A Release should consider it!

Well, I think we had a text like that somewhere... However it'd be a good idea if you wrote another one, so that people wouldn't have to write their own press release notes as I did it when F9 showed up. And of course I'd like to translate the text to Polish once you finish it :)

Hy everybody,
Ok, because there where only good feedback I build up two basic press-kits (one in english, one in german). You can find it at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Press#press_kit . It would be good if everybody could look over it and give corrections and additional infos. Particularly for the range statistics I look for information and sources. Also I can place some more representative press releases or pictures in. if there where "big" projects in business or communitys it would be fine if someboda can give me more infos about it. If anybody has info or was involved in projects where fedora take place please contact me. I will put the infos in it. I have a litte request that changes are sent first to me and not please yet edit wildly around. If the draft versions are ready I will send them around for further translation and place them on the wiki.
best regards Henrik

I am only volunteer as the Press Officer for the Fedora EMEA NPO - please remove my Name from the PressKit.
Particularly for the range statistics I look for information and sources. Also I can place some more representative press releases or pictures in.
You can find Statistics at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics. For Pictures and Layout you can work together with Artwork Team. And i am sure if you look around you will find Pictures like http://www.flickr.com/photos/fcrippa/2533876168/in/set-72157605315886766/ and if you ask the owner they will give the right to use it in the PressKit.
As i have wrote in the previous Mail, i can imagine the PressKit as a general Source for a Quick Press Overview. The work is not to collect several PressArticles, it is to develop a Message, that Press - who want to know what Fedora is - have a Overview. Press Kit is Marketing Work. I would not put specific PressReleases in it.
Important is, what message is to Transport - and the Focus should transport the new 4 Foundations! http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-July/msg00142.html
if there where "big" projects in business or communitys it would be fine if someboda can give me more infos about it.
There are so many ;) think of OLPC, NASA, Financial Department of Mocambique ...
If anybody has info or was involved in projects where fedora take place please contact me. I will put the infos in it.
I can only say how we handle the Press Work for the Fedora EMEA NPO - we work together with the several EventOwners to put Articles to the Regional Press. For "important" Messages we Release our work through RedHat Press with the help from Andrea Schneider (Regional Marketing Manager Red Hat) to reach a wider propagation. For German Events we have a distribution list where we sent the Releases and they can use it if they want. We have Fedora Contributors who are Editors at the biggest German IT-Portal heise.de and Magazin ct or we have also People at LinuxMagazin who are always interested in new stories. Robert has good Relation to pro-linux.de and so on ...

We had a "Press Kit" for the Fedora 9 release, a nice one-sheet that we would send to press along with a Live USB.
I don't know where the source for that went (maybe pfrields has it), but I think it would be good to update/translate it for F10.
