It depends on the class of +1 you hold. If you purchased your +1 fare at
full price, it can be transferred or revoked. If you purchased your +1
fare at a discount, there will be a mandatory change fee. Please see
your ticketing agent for details. Not valid in Wisconsin. All taxes and
fees will be withheld.

From past experiences, April Fool's jokes require weeks to months of
preparation to get right. Most of the time doing it at the last minute
comes across as exactly that: last minute. It then gets
misinterpreted, offensive, or a dozen other things than a little
cheeky comment to make people smile and laugh for a minute.

None of these really strike me as funny, and also look likely to be
misinterpreted.

My suggestion is we drop the April Fool's idea for this year. It's about
12 hours until April 1 (here) and we really don't have time to execute
anything worthy of Fedora.

Microsoft recently announced that it will run Ubuntu on Windows 10. What
about Red Hat partnering with Microsoft for a Fedora/Windows Dual Boot.

Or Adobe Photoshop support on Linux.

Or. Fedora will support Proprietary Software and sell it through Gnome
Software.

Re: [Marketing] April Fool's Article

[Aleksander Charatonik]

I think a good April Fools joke draws attention, but it's generally not
positive or negative. People will link to the April Fool's joke on
social media with a title like "look at what Fedora did for April
Fools!", find it funny (or not), and move on with their day. A joke
that's not funny isn't a grave offense.

 If people hate an April Fools joke, they're more likely to blame the
day than the source, eg "I hate how everyone's making these desperate
unfunny bids for attention on this particular day" and not "I hate this
obvious bid for attention from Fedora."

Plenty of people and communities do April Fools jokes. You see them from
individuals, from huge companies like Google or Microsoft, and from
communities like Gentoo. Even if April Fools isn't a global event, it's
more-or-less been made one on the internet.

The largest risk is probably just making a joke that's in poor taste,
which I don't think is a /huge/ risk, but better safe than sorry. People
can be fickle, and hopefully someone can make that call.

I'd say +1 for the April Fools' joke.

It's relatively low-risk, and it's a break away from what some may
perceive to be a "generic, sanitized, playing-it-safe uninspired blog
that exists solely to promote Fedora and doesn't provide anything of value."

It's fun, and given a choice between marketing and not marketing, I'd
rather lean towards marketing than arguing whether something is safe enough.

I'll be the first to admit I know nothing of marketing, though.

Yes, but we really should have thought about this weeks ago and done
something really fun.

I'm also -1, for reasons Ryan and Paul already articulated.

Yes, like  "And Happy April Fool's Day to everyone!".  That would
place everything correctly as a joke.

I'm not an April fool fan, so I would agree with you, but I've to admit
that it could be nice to have some buzz on Fedora.

I think that if we decide to do it, it should be absolutely not related
(or relating) to any other company/organization/brand that is not
Fedora. Also it would be nice to make it pretty clearly (at least if the
person does read the full article) that is an April fool.

Best,
Fabio

I can't see any *good* from doing April's fools articles ... I'd rather FM
is kept a sane island.

As for the mail originating this thread the Ubuntu userland (bash and
apt-get etc) on windows 10 isn't an April Fools ...

I agree with Paul on this, so a -1 from me too.

Too much of a risk that people don't think it is funny, or of offending
someone. I can't really think of any potential PR or marketing gain for us
from making a joke like this.

I don't think it's a young vs. old thing.

(1) April Fools Day doesn't translate everywhere, and we should be
seeking the widest possible international audience.

(2) Satire usually is about poking someone else in the eye, and that's
not good marketing.

(3) Your funny may be someone else's offense.  We should stick to
facts and features.

Let's leave this to other general and more snarky online venues,
please.

-1 on this idea.  April Fools Day isn't a global event, for one thing,
so we'd be going over the heads of some folks.  Also satire runs the
risk of poking people in the eye unintentionally, and we shouldn't be
doing that either.  I think this idea has come up multiple times over
the last 13 years and usually shot down for the same reasons.  Let's
leave the April Fools stuff to the snarky outlets.

[Marketing] Marketing trac #222: Publicizing "Fedora affiliates" (or groups using Fedora)

[James Bishop]

Hello everyone.

As per last night's meeting, I'm jumping in on this ticket. Just wanted
to touch base with those currently working on this to get a sense of
where things are and what I can do to help.

Thanks!

James

I think it should be something less subtle.  I didn't even know that
Internet Explorer now it's called Edge or something like that.  About
Chakra...  I've got completely lost.  If nobody says it I'd took it
for good.
To me, it should be something more obvious, that anyone can read,
understand and have a laugh.



My thoughts,
Sylvia

Re: [Marketing] April Fool's Article

[Sylvia Sánchez]

Hi everyone!

I like the idea of doing some pranks in that day  (that I don't
remember which one exactly is).  I think we should throw some ideas to
the list, and see which one looks best.
If we can prank on something else but another company better, if not,
I don't mind to joke on Microsoft as Chaoyi said they have been joking
on us for a long while.


Cheers,
Sylvia
