Hi, my name is *Colin Zwiebel* and I live in *Needham, MA* (near Boston). My Fedora Account System (FAS) username is *computercolin*, and my IRC nick is *computercolin*.
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through *Mel Chua, *and am interested in joining because *I love OSS, would like it to expand with average users, and am interested in seeing how it is being marketed*. I worked last year on OLPC for a period of time, organizing a Jam-style event. Though I've used many Linux variants, and submit bug reports regularly, this is my first time really contributing to a FOSS community. This is the first Marketing project I have worked on! My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: (Marketing Skills) - _Graphics, event organization_ (Other Skills) - _web-application development_ I'd also like to learn *strategy and big picturing thinking*. When I'm not working on Fedora, I am *playing at F. W. Olin College of Engineering*. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are *reach more "average" users and* *Better inspire hackers and developers to create great OSS software*. I would also like to see *Fedora and OSS in general become a more natural community for young tech-oriented people to join (IE, the Facebook generation)* I am wondering about *the focus of F13 and how this gets set* *how projects are organized within Fedora, who designers, developers, leaders interact.* If you have any tips for exploring the community, let me know!
