I think it might be useful to have case studies or testimonials from users about how they use Fedora. This might help people understand the project and its potential to be used in various ways. And of course more users = more potential contributors to the project. :) Just a thought! -Jonathan Darton -----Original Message----- From: fedora-marketing-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-marketing-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of fedora-marketing-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 12:46 PM To: fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Fedora-marketing-list Digest, Vol 12, Issue 1 Send Fedora-marketing-list mailing list submissions to fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to fedora-marketing-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx You can reach the person managing the list at fedora-marketing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxx When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fedora-marketing-list digest..."

There will, of course, be some issues to be negotiated around what the Fedora marketing team can and cannot do based on Red Hat policy -- but: a. There's plenty of things that a Fedora marketing team *can* do, now; b. Fedora marketing should be pushing Red Hat to help define those limits. So. Since Colin Charles is the owner of this list and one of its originators, I've asked him to start putting together the pieces, to make Fedora marketing its own project. Good luck, Colin. Take us to the promised land. :) --g _____________________ ____________________________________________ Greg DeKoenigsberg ] [ the future masters of technology will have Community Relations ] [ to be lighthearted and intelligent. the Red Hat ] [ machine easily masters the grim and the ] [ dumb. --mcluhan Red Hat Summit ] [ New Orleans ] [ Learn.

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.
