I like your "Our mission is..." wording better. The Fedora Project is a worldwide, open partnership of free software contributors and enthusiasts. Our mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community. > The Fedora Project is primarily sponsored by Red Hat, the world's most > trusted provider of open source technology.

I'm not sure how exactly relevant it is anyway. > One thing to consider: Is it worth highlighting more specifically that > Fedora is the upstream for RHEL? "Fedora is the foundation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a powerful enterprise OS.", says http://fedoraproject.org/en/features/. If we say this at all, I'd like to stress that it's not just a preview, but a place for collaboration and innovation which feeds into RHEL. Although we kick the term around a lot, "upstream" might not mean much to non-distro people. Fedora is the foundation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat sponsors the Fedora Project to encourage collaboration and incubate innovative new free software technologies. ? > > Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle) 2012.05.15 > > [Note: I put the date there because I'd like to leave open the option > > of updated image spins.

If we happen to do more than one update a month (I hope not) we can add it for that time only. > >Description: > Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that provides a wide audience of > users <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base> with access to the > latestfree and open source software > <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html>, in a stable > <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA>, secure > <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security/Features> and easy to manage form. > The Fedora cloud image in EC2 (blah blah blah, what you have above) Not sure we can have hyperlinks here. Without it, that'd be: Fedora is a Linux-based operating system which provides a wide audience of users with access to the latest free and open source software in a stable, secure, and easy to manage form. The Fedora Cloud image in EC2 provides a functional core on top of which any of tens of thousands of free and open source software packages can be easily added. How's that sound?

If we do that, we should probably provide a cloud sig wiki page describing the updated image, and _that_ could link to the appropriate source tree. > > Fedora is available free of charge.

Maybe tack it on to the end of the description above -- "...software packages can be easily added from an Amazon-internal mirror with no extra bandwidth costs." Or something. > >Available in Regions.... > > True for all. > This is not really true in EC2, I don't think we're doing Fedora in > non-us regions, are we? - does AWS marketplace provide wider > availability? Yes, we currently are. In any case, this particular set of fields is instructive rather than descriptive -- they will copy it to whichever regions we say yes to. (This is somewhat different from the current approach, where we upload a different AMI to each region. Another thing for me to check: do they end up with the same AMI ID in each region if we do it this way?) > >Recommended Instance Type: > > Standard Large > Is this basically a bulletpoint option, or is there additional text > that we could include as to why (ie: standard large - Recommended > for common use cases like $unicornbuilding, $bikeshedding, etc) One choice. And it's what you'll get with one click deployment. I pulled *this* particular choice out of my bikeshed. Standard Medium would be my second choice. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
