Digg and Fedora marketing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




I've always struggled a bit with the question, "how can Fedora marketing list be effective? What can we do to amplify the Fedora messages of freedom and innovation?"

It's a tough thing sometimes, even figuring out what the precise Fedora message is. We've got some talking points, and they're valid enough, but amplifying that message can be tough as well.

So I've been thinking about really organizing to support the stories that *we* think are important -- specifically, getting organized on Digg. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

The proposal: Use Fedora-marketing-list to communicate about Digg-able stories. How?

* f-m-l members could create Digg accounts, if they don't have them already.

* f-m-l members could look for breaking stories already on Digg (http://digg.com/linux_unix/upcoming) or, if they find a good story, they could submit it themselves (http://digg.com/submit).

* f-m-l members could then post the URL of the story to f-m-l. Something in the title, maybe, like "DIGG: Fedora 7 Test 1 Released." (Making sure not to dupe stories and split our efforts.)

* When a Digg hits f-m-l, members should go check the story out. If it seems like a good Fedora story, digg it.

* Be ready to join the discussions around these Dugg stories.

* * *

Pretty simple, really, and shouldn't take much of people's time. If we get enough people regularly Digging the best stories about Fedora, I think we'll do a lot to improve our visibility.

Anxious to hear what folks think.
