(open for all, uses only a captcha to filter accounts) stories.of.fedoralinux.org => nice site that does nothing but tell stories -- written, audio, video -- about Fedora Hmmm ... at least these two ideas need humans to parse them, for various spammish and nicety reasons. We need a team! I volunteer. Anyone else? Include the link in every story publicized, so they help provide more fodder. Aside from Digg, get a blast into press.redhat.com. Run stories in the installer? Get Red Hat Magazine to pick up one occasionally for wider viewing. (+1) Ensure all stories are under a Fedora-approved CC license so people can ... use them in presentations! Reprint them in their dead tree Linux magazines! Etc. Since Fedora is such a cool server distro, I bet we can get some really great stories this way that rival just about anyone else's potential. We may not have the best "I gave my Granny Fedora 8 and that werewolf ate her lunch" stories, but sysadmins who like Fedora have cooler toys anyway. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
