Sorry for being late to answer, I had some health problems. I suggest to try finding as many videos about fedora (promoting videos, presentation videos, how-to videos) and post them at the wiki under the following address http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/videos . Although I don't know if we have to host them in fedoraproject or we can simply post the link (for example from youtube) to the wiki.
