Hi Francisco, welcome to the team! I'm happy to see someone who is enthusiastic about marketing because Fedora Project attracts mostly people that are interested in technical aspects of Fedora and not in marketing and promotion which are also important. There is a large field for creativity. If you'd like to get some hits what to focus on: * I've been calling for better coordination of our presence in social media. I'm currently running Fedora Project's page at Google+, which works fine, but we don't really have any official account at Facebook for example. * I'd love to see more leaflets with information about Fedora. We've made leaflets about free graphic tools (GIMP, Inkscape,...) that you can find it Fedora, but I'd like to see more. For example leaflets about Ruby, Java, Python,... in Fedora with information why Fedora is a great platform for developing in a particular language. We could take such materials to conferences such as EuroPython, RuPy to promote Fedora among developers. This task would require coordination between our language team (to provide info what advantages and tools Fedora provides) and our design team to put the info together and create leaflets. Marketing activity and coordination in EMEA would be great, too. When you get oriented in Fedora Project and want to execute your ideas, I'll be more than happy to help you.
