Thank you Paul and Rikki, That book looks great for people switching from xp, it's just the sort of thing I was looking for a couple of years back. How many of these are we looking to distribute? Are we looking to make $15.99 on each?, and do we have any advertising budget? I agree with Rikki that ideally we need to have these with users be the end of the year and also that we should be looking for people New to linux Chris Rikki Endsley <rendsley@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Paul Frields" <stickster@xxxxxxxxx> >> To: "Chris Collings" <cpcollings@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "Larry Cafiero" <larry.cafiero@xxxxxxxxx> >> Cc: "Fedora Marketing team" <marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "Larry Cafiero" <lcafiero@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 8:58:04 AM >> Subject: Re: Fedora-sponsored specials: All Things Open >> >> http://www.linux-magazine.com/Resources/Special-Editions/18-Free-From-XP >> >> This is the issue in question IIRC, right Rikki? >> > >Yes, that's it. > >> I guess we missed our opportunity for SEAGL, since I don't have any >> address for them; it would need to come from Larry.
