My name is Clinton Zeimet, and I am from Mason City, Iowa, in the United States of America. I work for Target Corporation in Guest Services, and also work as part time staff at The Music Man Square (a local tourist attraction). I also serve as a volunteer coordinator for the Iowa Independent Film Festival.
My goal in the Fedora Project is to participate on a more active level in the marketing of this wonderful operating system and its vibrant community. I would like to engage in formal public discourse as an official ambassador to deliver an enthusiastic and project-aligned messaging to the public. I believe that as general computer users experience the marvelous advantages of the Fedora Operating system and its accompanying community, they will likely become as joyful as I to experience an alternative to the status quo disappointments of its closed source relatives. I would like to see usage of the Fedora OS and participation in the Fedora Project to extend further into the greater public consciousness of my locale region, and also internationally. I would also like to see Fedora and the Fedora Project become ever more attuned to the practicable needs and wants of the general computer user like me.
As a former children's camp counselor and current guest services specialist and event coordinator, I believe I have the proven ability to deliver the Fedora marketing package in an effective manner. In addition, my experience as a local contributor to the U.S. presidential campaign of Howard Dean in 2004 acclimated me to the practical organizational challenges of marketing and its accompanying intangible rewards. I also have experience in team sports, theatrical productions, speech contests, writers workshops, and student government and peer counseling positions that have prepared to be an effective group participant and team player. Other than these skills, it should be known that I have no formal marketing education at the college level.
I also have the native attributes of intellectual curiosity and above average ability in verbal and quantitative performance, which I would like to employ to learn more technical Linux skills as time goes on.
Thank you for considering me to join the Fedora Project in a more active manner that will match my enthusiasm and abilities.
Sincerely,
Clinton Zeimet
