Hi All, I still insist on a more professional approach, which means I suggest for us to come up with a Communication Plan for Fedora, that could be divided in a few sub-projects: . Surveys (or blogs thorough analysis, distrowatch comparisons, etc) on Fedora usage to find out what are the features perceived as benefits by users (not by developers) - the reasons why they opt for Fedora, instead of another free OS distro - and also the ones perceived as issues . Next, focus on communicating these benefits consistently across all available media (including RHMag, fedoraproject.org, localised websites, blogs, etc) on a timely manner e.g.: RHMag can cover two or three benefits of Fedora each month. Then, other media can approach the same benefits to enforce and support the message... BTW, I believe such a process should be an ongoing activity to make sure we walk along with the users community needs. But, if we insist working on an ad-hoc basis, here are a few suggestions for this issue: . Promote 32-bit applications support . Communicate FF news . Communicate Fedora Chinese Mirror (maybe call for other mirrors where we lack'em worlwide?) . Bring users testimonials on Fedora (it usually works very well for new users adoption) . Promote Fedora's worldwide reach, and languages localization . Include Fedora trustworthy URLs Thanks for listening!
