I did and the whole time I was thinking "this doesn't belong here" because Telegram has nothing to do with Marketing, and is not officially supported by Fedora.

Telegram, even unsupported, should definitely be considered by our Marketing group. For if we know of an active channel we should be considering its impact. We may also want to, perhaps for marketing reasons, perhaps for reasons you are outlining, consider adding additional official channels.
I see regular user as a non-contributor. When talking about user-communities (such as Telegram, reddit, ...) I mean a community that is not oriented to contributing to Fedora and is simply a bunch of Fedora users who frequent this or that network of their choice and would like to chat about their favorite Linux distribution.
Fedora's placement on the adoption curve means that our target market tends to be early adopter-like individuals. These folks are often in need of support that is more specialized than that needed by a non-contributing average user (even if that user is a skilled engineer).
I believe you can create a more tailored definition about who you are trying to target and how you plan to help them. From that we can consider the idea. Your "regular user" as defined above includes gourmet chefs and rocket scientists. They have two different sets of needs. How do you plan to serve them?
Following from the last sentence above, if this is just an affinity group of people who want to chat about Linux distributions, even if they specifically want to chat about Fedora, how does what your proposing go beyond what we do now officially?

I don't think that's a good subproject report, but it's a finediscussion to have. We actually talked little about this during theMarketing presentation last week. Did you see that?Part of the problem is that "regular user" is a very big term, and canmean a lot of things to a lot of people.--Matthew MillerFedora Project Leader_______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
