<braindump> An entire release ago (6 months) Jeff Spaleta made the proposal to this list[1] for Fedora to produce a (virtual?) coffee table book containing candid pictures of Fedora contributors all holding a specific trinket that could represent what the community stands for (perhaps something as simple as a Fedora logo) -- or with speech bubbles containing a single word that the contributor thinks encompasses the purpose/meaning/whatever of Fedora in their native language. Seeing how we're coming up upon a major NA FUDCon, with an EMEA FUDCon around the corner (... right?) should we make an attempt to start this concept back up again? It'd be nice to be able to sell a physical book and donate the proceeds to OLPC or something. (Not sure if this is even viable because of the high number of Fedora contributors[2].) The key things that need to be done to get this rolling again are 1) decide on a trinket (or something else to tie the whole production together, i.e., speech bubbles) 2) start taking photos at FUDConF11[3] Other brain dumps or thoughts to follow? </braindump> [1]: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-May/msg00315.html [2]: Not that I'm saying this isn't good! [3]: We can't limit this to attendees of FUDConF11, of course. -- Ian Weller <ianweller@xxxxxxxxx> http://ianweller.org GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36 "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." ~ Douglas Adams
