I will love to see sponsoring links from Fedora. I think is something really different from what we have done. But I also think that to get other peoples "buying" this idea we need less words. As most of us have lives beyond Fedora, when I reach an email two screen long, I don't read it properly. Sorry, I just can't. Those emails make me feel depress, takes out the fifth F of Fedora = FUN. I automatically switch to skim-reading-mode, scroll down fast to the end and move the message out of my inbox. I am not "alien" to market ideas, I felt more like a "10 yeard old kid" with a short span attention ... less words, less "old-man-battle-tales"... as a kid, I need something short and fun to keep reading. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check: http://www.clickmanagua.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
