I can imagine a video where you start the upgrade process, have a sip of coffee, look back at the monitor and the ugprade is done. Anyone it'd be great to have a video about news in Fedora 25. GNOME has been doing them for some time and they're pretty popular: https://www.y outube.com/watch?v=LhY7rpWXm1Y (they usually get up to 135k views on Youtube, that's a great number). Such videos can also be used at Fedora booths played in loops. Someone did this for F22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgfnHck_lbI and it got 55k views even though it was not an official video. Generally I think we should expand more into video. I know it's usually more consuming than static graphics, but it gets attention. And sometimes it's not even that difficult. For example, we did a video that showed what people can find at the Fedora booth at LinuxDays. I just grabbed a phone and the video was done and uploaded within 10 minutes and it was played by hundreds of ppl. Jiri P.S. my upgrade to F25 took 15 minutes in total, pretty awesome :)
