Hi Jiri,
thank you for your welcome!
I have liked reading your words about people interested in technical aspects
of Fedora, because I have to recognize that I'm a little bit worried about
my lack of technical skills.
I didn't know anything about Fedora in social media and, obviously, that's
something I'm very interested in. But I have some questions (and doubts)
about it. This morning I have been reading about Fedora Project mission and
its target audience, community, method and governance. The question is:
would a Fedora official account at Facebook fit our Core Values? Is this
kind of social networking service of interest for Fedora users?
Believe me, I'm not teasing, I'm just wondering about some marketing tools
and their convenience in a project like this. But, in any case, I'd love to
work in our presence in social media. You bet!
On the other hand, coordination in EMEA and the leaflets issue sound really
great too so I'll be very happy working with you on these issues or anything
else.
Keep in touch!
Fran

Hi, my name is Fran and I live in Barcelona, Spain. My Fedora Account
System (FAS) username is sugar, and I am new to IRC and would like
help getting started!
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through the Fedora wiki, and
am interested in joining because I am studying marketing and business
administration and I think I will be able to help you in a near
future.
This is the first FOSS project I have worked on and I have to
recognize that I have not worked in Marketing either. But I have
managed my own business and I have some experience dealing with some
of the typical issues of marketing (I am an architect)
My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include:
* Creativity (in fact, creativity is needed in my daily work)
* People skills.
* Work capacity and commitment
When I'm not working on Fedora, I am working as an architect and
studying business administration at the University.
I would like to spread the knowledge of the Fedora Project in the area
where I live and to learn to work in an environment of teamwork as
well.
Please help me get started!
Thanks in advance.
Fran
PS I know I have to improve my English too, but that's something I'm
working on now.
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.
Jiri
