The situation in EMEA is a bit different, with the existence of Fedora EMEA e.V. but still. BTW, I think it'd be awesome to promote FEL in QST. That's why I suggested people skills to get some one inside to endorse. Some places may not work but in other places it may. I think I can pull it out in my country if I got the material. To promote FEL in QST magazine ( official magazine for http://arrl.org ) it is just to sell the idea to the editorial board. Can be big like trying to squeeze a full page article. Can be small like trying to get a mention on a section. It think it can be easy to get attention from the section eclectic technology to mention this spin.

Re: EMEA Ambassadors talking about TV ads
2010/1/7 María Leandro tat...@fedoraproject.org Hello! In venezuela we already have a (really small) participation in Radio and TV. Past Flisol2009 give us the opportunity to be on tv (for about a minute) and also a couple of radio interviews about free software and fedora (I made one and Wilmer K0k Jaramillo give another). I have the resources to this files (Spanish links) but I think is viable for us to even make a tv show (maybe a 5 minutes clip weekly) in a Caracas tv station and in a Radio who transmit in all Venezuela middle towns. Now that I read that there is a true interest in this I will start working and see what can came out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OyHQarkVVU http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/varios/flisol2009-2.mp3 I think that's great. We should look for opportunities to do radio/tv interviews. I have been involved on some interviews for Software Freedom Day (before and during the event). When an event is upcoming, it is possible to get one minute in radio or tv to talk about it because it is news. It is part of what is happening. I have to point that interviews are not advertisement, we are probably going to another topic... this more news distribution. I probably have helped to get out of focus in this topic. But I have to admit that the approach to get it on air is similar, what changes is the format (Live interview vs. pre recorded material) Just to prove that it possible ... and brag a bit ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u18l6ZEwt7g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRmxo09nUOQ Mental note... always wear fedora t-shirt or polo !

I'd love to get a marketing class working on this - actually, I would love to see a case study (see http://www.hbs.edu/mba/academics/casemethod.html) on Fedora. What would be really interesting is feeding back the process for meeting this goal into a discovery of what worked to captivate and motivate college students to follow through with a contribution. Maybe that's what you mean by the case method? It's hard to tell from the page in question, it's a bit vague but I'm guessing you have some experience with or knowledge about the method yourself. What I think you're talking about is a case study - documenting what we do as a way to make it easier for others to follow. I think we should be a case study of how open source projects can interact with the case method of teaching, which is a particular thing. The case method is a particular way of teaching that I believe is mostly associated with MBA programs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_method. Most of the cases I've seen come from Harvard, which has an extensive collection of them (http://www.hbs.edu/mba/academics/howthecasemethodworks.html, http://www.hbs.edu/learning/case.html - for an example, see http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5466.html for an explanation and http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5466.html for the abstract to an actual case.) Think of a case as... an .rpm for curricular content for MBAs. It's a format and delivery mechanism schools are used to. (Someone who actually has an MBA may want to step in and correct me at this point.) There's one on Red Hat, though it's 10 years old by now: http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cb/web/product_detail.seam?R=69-PDF-ENGconversationId=630649E=35930 There's also one called Linux in 2004: http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cb/web/product_detail.seam?R=705407-PDF-ENGconversationId=630649E=45690 Here's the interesting opportunity: these cases are written about companies - there are no cases (yet!) about communities doing many of the same things The Open Source Way. I have been teaching in business and had to take a seminar on case study writing. Case studies are usually wrote to demonstrate and exercise some concepts that were discuses on class. That's why case studies are usually business focused. A new trend have emerge where companies think that if some one wrote about them can be a way of marketing. This has led to some documents that are half case-study half white-papers. White papers in the sense of a success story. There are new needs for academics papers as there are a lot of new programs for NGO management were classical business case study does not fit. For instance, MBAs does not deal on how to recruit and motivate volunteers, which can be very important for NGO and for us. A good case-study, white-paper or mixture, should be a nice to read composition. It that sense, this case studies can have broader use. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

I was unsure if it was meant for wifi/eth and eth/eth requiered one more step. Then I tried on my laptop, there I had a clear step to create a new network. It tried to connect but remained unconnected... I guessed that maybe it was not obvious, I used another wifi to explore and see if it was ready, but nothing. My laptop is Toshiba A65 with a wifi Atheros card. I was able to connect to the wifi network from my office with it using the livecd, as I wanted to be sure that it was working properly before asking. (2)* (preferred) File a bug in Bugzilla that states the problem I am unsure to file a bug, because I do not know what I am doing. If I need to install it to my computer and does not work as livecd. Or if I need to install dhcpd service before going for network sharing. (3) Email the fedora-desktop-list to bring attention to the issue I will give it another try... and write more details. We certainly want this to work as advertised, in the same way that I witnessed right in front of me when I shot that film myself! ;-) Thanks for your fast reply. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check: http://www.clickmanagua.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: Wikipidia - Goodbye Red Hat and Fedora
I have read a couple of news regarding this topic. I found clear leave RHEL favouring a free distro. I was crystal clear to me using only one distro makes things easy. What I fail to find in the news is a technical reason to drop all RHEL and make standar Fedora, as they should be good at with the past experience. In the several emails that I have been reading in this topics found out that yearly updates may be a burden. But that is not in any news that I have read. Long term support may be a god thing, but I may argue that it was not the only thing that came into play for this change. I only regret knowing the fact that Wikipedia is/was using Fedora until they have decided to switch as I may have been bored all my acquaintances with it. As I have been telling everybody that Facebook host a Fedora mirror but not ubuntu. (Are they using Fedora??) I think the big lost is not have follow up to those flashy big project to help them keep up Fedora. Telling that Roadrunner runs Fedora, make most people think of cartoons. Anyway, I appreciate that Fedora is the cutting edge. I am technically challenged, so I will not develop anything, and mostly I stare amazed the thing that Fedora brings to FOSS community. It seems elitist and I feel a bit excluded if Fedora is really a distro for geeks. What I mean if leading is what Fedora is all about, the marketing team and fedora ambassadors should focus on gather and recruit leading technical people and not trying to get everyday people. I agree that it will be good to broad the range of Fedora users and if long term support is an issue maybe has to be deal. Or try to simplify more upgrades (something that is already easy). The bigger the community, more ideas and more hand to have support. But this is just my opinion.

Is there a need for it? If yes, I would be glad to write one. I would love to have a text like that, and also that has been reviewed for several people. I offer to translate that to Spanish.
