I'd like to offer my help. I certainly don't have a good feel for the
total scope of what Fedora marketing should be doing. However, I was
thinking recently about gathering up information on:
* What Fedora is
* When Fedora is appropriate as opposed to RHEL
* How can someone get involved with the project:
As someone using Fedora (user, admin, programmer)
As someone packaging their software for Fedora
As someone who has other skills to offer (writer, marketer, etc.)
By putting this together in the form of a presentation, I was thinking
that it would help us all sing from the same sheet music (so to speak).
Also, busy people wouldn't have to start from scratch if they just
wanted to give a talk on Fedora to the local LUG.
I also think that it's possible to have a story about what Fedora is
that is respectful of Red Hat Inc. and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Clarity
will help everyone, I believe. Thoughts?
