Hey Tshepo,

Thanks for your interest in the Project! By the sounds of it, you might
be looking for the Ambassador program. The wiki articles for the
Ambassador program are well-documented and should effectively walk you
through the steps.

Some of the first things you're going to want to do are write a short
intro on your wiki page and look to find a mentor in your region,
depending on where you are in the where. See the wiki for more info.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_start
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_create_user_page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_explore_fedora
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_choose_a_mentor

Good luck, and if have questions or need help, check out the Join
mailing list, fedora-j...@lists.fedoraproject.org. :)

I'm not sure what you mean for "market", if you want to promote Fedora,
probably being ambassador is the best.

Which region are you talking about?

If you want to be part of marketing, take a peek to our wikipage [1],
but our job is not related to getting in touch with public or creating
events, this is a ambassadors work.

you should explain something more about your skills, projects and so
on.

Thank you.

Hello,

I guess this is not the right ML, please send a mail to 
fedora-j...@lists.fedoraproject.org or join the IRC channel #fedora
-join on freenode for a starting point.

This is the marketing list and I don't understand if this is the group
you wanna join.

Thanks

A significant factor is whether the community blog or site is
publishing under the community name, like fedora-fr.org for instance.
If it is, then I see no reason the site can't choose and publish its
own original content.  The site should not look exactly like the
Fedora Magazine in this case, though, because it would be confusing to
the viewer.  Having a different banner would be enough to
differentiate them, I think.  We're not trying to encourage multiple
versions of the Fedora Magazine that look exactly like one another.
In doing this, we might accidentally confuse readers as to which site
is run as part of the Fedora Project itself.

On the other hand, English is the lingua franca of the project, and
therefore the Magazine itself should stick to English posts for
original content.  Does this help answer the question at all?

Thanks Ryan!  I scheduled it for tomorrow as agreed in the meeting
last week.

Also, it looks like the Wayland article published on time as
scheduled.  I assume you didn't have to play with this manually?

I think the "How Do You Fedora" resurgence is probably more tightly in
keeping with the intended audience of the Magazine overall.  So my
vote is for that.

I really love the idea of getting some more of those articles into
play, because they really do help put a human face on a distro and
project.
