Hello Matthew, Welcome onboard.... Mel already told me / us that there are some students interested in this stuff. I'm happy to read at your blog that you are already have some experience, because the work on technological press-releases and press-kits are (or should be) almost the same. You can first have a look at http://www.braincache.de/wp/2010/04/05/fedora-presskit/ where I gave a first short intro of how a press-kit in general look like and also how the content of our upcoming fedora 13 press-kit could look like. At the fedoraproject wikipage at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Press_kit you find an general overview of the structure we have and what goals we have. If you have written press-releases before, you probably also know the rules or better guidelines mentioned at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Writing_press_Releases_HowTo to write those, but maybe you find some interesting parts here as well. If you want step in deeper I think some research on the fedoraproject itself and track pictures from/about the fedoraproject in general would be very nice. That should bring (hopefully) a broad range of different country's and cultures to cover. Therefore you can also read the Mail from Paul http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-April/012295.html about licensing as some kind of background info. What we need for a first start are pictures from Fedora Releasepartys or Linuxevents with some kind of lucky people and collect the Links on a wikipage (a possible place to start can be https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/picture_archive). And if you have any question then you can ask anytime. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonderer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 Am 07.04.2010 21:21, schrieb Matthew Bocchi: > Hi all, > > Just wanted to send out a quick intro to myself and volunteer for any projects that you need done / help with!
