[Marketing] Fwd: Fedora Affiliates

[Justin W. Flory]

Hi all,

Over in Fedora Marketing for the past few weeks, we've been working on
putting together a proposal for a new program, "Fedora Affiliates". This
is a way for organizations like schools, non-profits, or companies that
are actively using Fedora to get a little recognition and exposure as
users of Fedora. Not only does this help them, but it also provides a
record of people that are using Fedora already in all kinds of different
places.

So, for example, if a school is unsure about whether a Linux / Fedora
computer lab is possible, you could visit the Affiliates page, see
examples of schools that are using Fedora, and reach out to them with
questions if needed.

Anyways, our team member who took this on, James, was hoping to get some
more feedback on his proposed drafts for how we explain and recruit
affiliates. The links for all of these things are in the forwarded
message below.

I am sending this to the Ambassadors and council-discuss list. If you
have feedback or comments, the preferred way to leave them is on the
Trac ticket (also linked below). However, if you want to reply back to
this thread, please do so on the Marketing mailing list.

Thanks for your time!

Hello Everyone,

Over the past several weeks, the marketing team has been working on a
way to publicize "Fedora Affiliates", or projects that are using Fedora
as part of their work. The ticket for this can be found here:

https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/222

At this time, several wiki pages have been created, and you can find
them here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Scratch/Affiliates
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Scratch/CurrentAffiliates

Any thoughts or suggestions you might have would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,
James

P.S. Justin: Could you pass this along to the Ambassadors group,
please?

Everything looks great to me! This ticket is on the agenda for today so
we can aim to cover it in the meeting and figure out what the next steps

Comment:

 '''Discussed in [https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
 meeting-1/2016-05-11/marketing.2016-05-11-20.55.html 2016-05-11
 meeting].'''

 = GNU Social =

 We decided against pursuing a presence on GNU Social from lack of
 knowledge, the hands to actively maintain a presence there, and a few
 other factors. Maybe in the future we can pursue it, but for now, we will
 hold back to make sure that we responsibly represent our brand on the
 platforms we are present on.

 = Diaspora =

 We now have an official presence on Diaspora! You can find our community
 quickly by using the shortened link, [https://dia.so/fedora
 dia.so/fedora]. We are on the diasp.org pod, and you can find the Fedora
 account [https://diasp.org/u/fedora here].

 Big thanks to bproffit and all others involved in making this happen!

Now that we have several languages becoming possible, should we talk to 
the Fedora Translators about how to best manage this?

Once I get my laptop back I can translate some parts to Spanish if it's

Sounds good.  I've opened some issues and submitted some PRs.  I'll
