[marketing] F26 Talking Points

[Eduard Lucena]

Hi team,

I'm Eduard Lucena, and I'm here in the behalf of the Marketing team. In the
Marketing Team, we prepare a lists of highlights about each release, called
Talking Points:

Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are different
> types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop
> users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are meant to provide a
> short, effective answer to the question "What cool stuff is in the latest
> release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not necessarily comprehensive
>

This points help us, as Marketing team, as well to Ambassadors, to
publicize each release with the news and cool stuff.

For this matter and this release, we have this wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points and we will be
happy to include the new things about LXQt Spin.

You can help us in both ways:
1. Editing the wiki directly with the points.
2. Throwing us the list, and we will put them in the wiki.

Thanks in advance for your help and for your efforts.

No progress there. I need some native speaker to polish the 4th
chapter. Then I'd like to have a couple of people with experience
promoting Fedora to go through the whole handbook and identify things
that are missing or are not explained well. Once we fix that, the
English version will be ready.
