I would say that the way to make the message be "sticky" is to identify
who are the users of the CADs are in relative perspective of being users
of the distribution and then have a message segment (points on the wiki
/ 1 single slide / one video) that can be referenced over and over
again. Fedora "helping" the projects you mention is perhaps limited
because the primary motive (I am guessing here) is getting the work
done, Fedora is an incidental choice. Fedora might be the distribution
for them if there's a Fedora Spin which you are working on and there is
enough messaging around it so that they see more and more folks around
them using it. A good part of acceptance is based on credibility. The
more credible and tangible the proposition is the wider and rapid would
be the acceptance.
