The problem with the Fedora Foundation, of course, is that no one knows
quite what it is yet. Including internal Redhatters to some degree. :/
My take on the mission of FF in general:
1. Take the ASF documentation;
2. s/ASF/FF/g;
3. Cut to fit where it doesn't, quite.
My take on the mission of the Fedora marketing project, in particular:
A. Short term
1. Recruitment
2. Advertising
3. Brand issues (with heavy help from RH initially)
B. Long term
1. All of those, plus
2. Fund raising
