Fedora (both the Marketing team and the project as a whole) tends to be a place where planning happens from the bottom-up more than the top-down - several people sharing ideas, saying "oh, I'm also interested in that!" and then teaming up to make it happen. You can see some of the ideas people are working on now at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing#Projects, but also please feel free to propose your own ideas and areas of interest, or team up with others - for instance, perhaps you'd be interested in working with Robyn on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_research, or with Garland on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Keyword_optimization. > I would like to share with you my most recent Linux Anecdote, it is some > kind of report about the FlisoL Here in México City: It sounds like you may also be interested in the Ambassadors team, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors. They are the team in Fedora that goes out to events and represents Fedora at conferences. You mentioned interest in doing a spin - perhaps you'd be interested in working on making marketing resources for spins as a whole? (Doing your own spin and showcasing its marketing as an example, then showing how other spins can do the same, is a great way to start.) Our current spins site is http://spins.fedoraproject.org, and the Spins SIG (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins) can answer other (more technical) questions about the spin creation process. You're also joining at an exciting time; we are just a few weeks away from the Fedora 13 release date (May 18), and are finishing up our release deliverables (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing#Release_deliverables - not all of them have been documented yet). One thing that would be great to have, that we did last time, is a localization of the one page release notes (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_one_page_release_notes). They are not finished yet, but you can see the ones from the last release cycle (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes) as well as the translation (http://proyectofedora.org/wiki/Conoce_Fedora_12, thank you Neville and Tatica!) Is this something you might be interested in working on? If you're available on IRC during our Marketing Meeting times (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings, 20:00 UTC in #fedora-mktg), those are great times to listen in on what's going on and jump in to help. But also drop by anytime - many of us are often around the #fedora-mktg channel at nearly any hour of the day and eager to help new folks get started. If you're new to IRC, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo or just ask on this list (we take questions here too!) Cheers, and welcome - hope to see you around! --Mel (mchua on IRC) -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
