created for the LATAM Marketing group (we have one of those? sweet!),

Tatica is doing a lot of awesome stuff on the LATAM community.

I updated the ticket with a couple of small improvements (changed the font
from URW Gothic to Mgopen Modata and used the actual wordmark for fedora),
If you like the modification just update the wiki attachments.
To use it, include this text at the top of a wiki page:
{{header|marketing}}
Enjoy - and thanks, Tatica! Less than two hours from idea to execution,
if you look at the timestamps on the ticket. Woo!
Agree, she is totally kicking.

[in the news] Review: 3 top Linux distros go for different users
Computerworld 12.16.09 Review: 3 top Linux distros go for different users By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols [clip] Paul Frields, Red Hat's Fedora Project Leader, described Fedora to me as being first and foremost for users interested in and capable of contributing to open source. So if you're a Linux power user, you're going to love Fedora. If you're not, this probably isn't the distro for you. It's not that Fedora is hard to use. While it's not as beginner-friendly as Ubuntu, most Linux users shouldn't have any trouble working with Fedora even if they're not developers. [clip] For all of its many excellent features, Fedora isn't the best distribution for new or business users. But if you're a user like me who already lives his computing life on Linux, it's a great choice.

We were discussing what to tackle, since doing actual classroom work on a package we need makes even more sense, and I'm thinking we should (try) to do a Zikula package; maybe an easier one? Still, though, the week of 4 Jan is awful late for that, I should hope we'd have them all in by then. Can we get a few of y'all to list out to Fedora Planet, maybe fedora-devel-list the specific needs we have?

So if you're a Linux power user, you're going to love Fedora. If you're not, this probably isn't the distro for you. Hm, that's an interesting takeaway from my quote. Aren't non-power users capable of contributing to FOSS? Aren't non-power users interested in contributing too? I'll endeavor to make that distinction clearer in future interviews -- I usually do so but apparently it wasn't clear in this one. :-) It's not that Fedora is hard to use.

Full post: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142148/Review_3_top_Linux_distros_go_for_different_users?taxonomyId=18pageNumber=1 There are a couple of puzzlers in this article, such as the implication that being able to find lesser-known utilities makes a distribution more suitable for the masses.

No, I think his idea is something like: if you are a Linux user, you will find Fedora familiar, if you are a Linux *power* user, you will *love* it.

The ability to fine tune that later is certainly great, but the average user isn't interested in spending time finding and learning new, off-the-beaten-path utilities. Trying to decipher, I think the meaning here is: an user who know little stuff and want to learn as little as possible, will do a Google search, end on some forum, copy/paste a few commands he does not understand and bang! everything is working. I am not sure we want to paint such image about ourselves. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

FUDCon survey draft - last call for feedback
Robyn put in the survey questions last night (THANK YOU ROBYN!) and I made a couple edits just now and attached the printable version so you can see the questions we're asking so far (the same file is also temporarily up at http://mchua.fedorapeople.org/fudcon-survey-draft.html). Thoughts? Here's what I did just now... * Added a have you been to a FUDCon before? question * Added Tuesday/after-Tuesday as leave-date options since most people left on Tuesday morning. * Added Other suggestions? option for FUDCon Live Other things I can think of... * do we want to add a text box so people can post the URLs of any blog posts/etc they may have written about FUDCon? * should we plug the Events FAD (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010) and/or the fudcon-planning list (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning) at the end? * I'd like to put some sort of link to the Marketing Research page so folks can see how we put this survey together and that they can help us with it (can haz limesurvey library packagers plz), but that page needs a *lot* of cleanup first. Robyn's on the road right now but we'll be in #fedora-mktg finishing this up and launching it out, probably in something like 1.5 hours (1900 UTC, which is ~2pm EST for me). --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
