Welcome, Neville! It's great to see you in Marketing - I've been 
admiring your work in Ambassadors for quite some time. I just sponsored 
you for the FAS group.

- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_news_distribution_network_(NDN) 
might be a good thing to look at as well.

Are there any Marketing projects you've seen that you'd like to get

add Marketing-fu to? It sounds like you might be able to teach us quite
