Hello everyone, After talking with Mel Chua and Ankur Sinha on the #Fedora-mktg channel last night, Ankur and I have decided to embark on a Marketing project[1] for either F13, or the F14 feature track. As a result, I've decided to actually join the Marketing team, so here is my formal self-introduction :) *Full legal name (as you use it is fine) Ryan Rix *City, Country; you may use your timezone if you have a compelling reason not to specify your city or country Phoenix, AZ, USA *Profession or Student status High School Student *Company, School, or other affiliation Deer Valley High School *Your goals in the Fedora Project To see Fedora Linux and the Fedora Project shine, and for the project to lead the FOSS community as a whole. Getting Fedora's awesome community involved is a key part of this happening, and it's what I am also trying to accomplish in becoming a local Fedora Project ambassador. *What do you want to talk about? Fedora, of course! I'm a member of the KDE SIG, so that's where my expertise in the distro lies, but pretty much anything related to the project, the distro or the people is open territory :) *What would you like to see in Fedora? Fedora's Four Pillars are one of the major reasons I was so attracted to the distribution and community. I think that making sure the distro follows these four goals will help to propel Fedora to the forefront of the GNU/Linux community as a whole. We should always be striving to package, integrate, ship and promote cutting edge software, services and designs to the Fedora community and the FOSS community as a whole. We should strive to lead by example in not embracing proprietary software solutions at all costs and we should be willing to fight for our freedom. *Anything else you'd like to do? As I said above, I'm going to be working with Ankur Sinha on bringing his awesome idea to light within the F13 or F14 feature period, and that's probably what I will be focusing most of my initial work in Marketing on. It sounds like a very exciting project and could have a huge impact on Fedora's new users, and attracting possible contributors. *Historical qualifications High School Newspaper? Not much :) I'm an ambassador, if that helps :) *What other projects or marketing effors have you worked on in the past? (List what you think is relevant) Null *What level and type of marketing skills do you have? Not much besides a veracity and will to make Fedora as awesome as possible :) *What other skills do you have that might be applicable? Minimal coding skills, in C++ and python, which I'll be expanding via a few small projects and fedora-tour in the near future. I may also have a tablet PC in the near future to help express my (pathetic) artistic skills :-) Happy Thanksgiving for all your Americans, and happy Thursday for everyone else, Ryan Rix Ambassador, KDE SIG, News (and now Marketing) :) [1]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-tour -- Ryan Rix Fedora KDE SIG Member, Phoenix AZ Ambassador, News KDE Beat writer http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://identi.ca/phrkonaleash XMPP: phrkonaleash@xxxxxxxxx | MSN: phrkonaleash@xxxxxxxxx AIM: phrkonaleash | Yahoo: phrkonaleash IRC: PhrkOnLsh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#srcedit,#plugaz,#fedora-kde and countless other FOSS channels.
