Re: FAD and some other stuff
Hy, ... I think that what we actually need right now is a hard number for a budget, so we know what in the way of resources we have, and whether we should be pouring those resources into getting everyone together, or into making this into a you can participate remotely! FAD, etc. Hopefully we could get all together for once for our first FAD. Let's see if we can nail that - and the final details - down... possibly not at the next meeting this coming Tuesday (although we can probably get a hard number for budget by then), but by the end of the next one on Jan 12th. I added some lines to the agenda at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010 under sideline. I thought that we could take the opportunity to take some Fedora Images for the hopefully upcoming photobook and for a kind of press/photo archive startup. I think there will be some photographers beside me among us. The archive will also ease our later work for later, because many texts, photos, Event-Coverage, etc. will show us the way... The archive thing should be implemented to the upcoming Zikula CMS, but we could do some research and how that could be in. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: Let's meet! (Marketing FAD 2010)
hy there, *Red Hat office in either Boston, MA or Raleigh, NC as we have attendees in the area (Mel for Boston, Max and Kara for Raleigh) and we have the benefit of having a Red Hat office, which would probably get us easy conference space. The PRO on that would be that we have a REALLY good Infrastructure. But I had the experience from meetings here around where participants are near their workplace that can be contraproductive (e.g. hold on, I had a call from ... I need to to do that ... I grab something from the office, wait)... All other places sounds good for me ... I did not know any of them ;-) When: Mel suggested a March time frame, which is pretty broad. My high school has spring break from Sat 13 to Sun 21, so any days in those time frames work best for me and (iirc) Robyn, as her children have those days off, too. Some questions: How many days? I throw some thoughts in: I think we did not meet together in THAT particular group, meaning we had never before a MKTG FAD. We encounter each other at FADs, Events, Office time, etc. but THAT will be the first MKTG FAD where marketing stuff came up on the table and get things done. I think we will become acquainted with each other, know how things work in one or another part of the world, put together best practices, etc. Therefore it will NEVER be enough time to do all things. But I think if it will be possible 3-4 working days withing 1,5 days of planed leisure plus some spare time would be a good choice. Do we want a leisure day? Hopefully yes ;-) Of course, these questions are avoiding the large and awesome topic, of what we want to do at this event? Mel said we wanted deliverables after the event, what deliverables do we want? Any other goals? Put my in the wiki... hope 2 c u soon :-) Henrik -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Marketing FAD 2010 - First Brainstorm
Hy there, short after todays marketing meeting some came with an the idea that are crawling around some heads for quite a while: We want to have a Marketing FAD! Theme: Fedora Marketing - What is, what will be * build up our new marketing plan for F13 / F14 and work on that * work and grow our Marketing Team * have fun Here are some questions we start to work on: * Where do we want to have it (location)? * when (date) ? * who (attendees) ? * work schedule (plan) ? A first throw-in I would say how about hawaii, first march week 2010, some hotel around. For all other things around we have also a wikipage [1] for filling with suggestions and facts. Please have a look, add your name to the list if you are interressted or already say YES, I want to be there because we must know your preferences to plan further on.

Re: Video: 5 Fun Things in Fedora 12
Hy, I just posted a 15 minute 'fun things in Fedora' video. Great! I ask myself how long did it take overall to make it writting the transcript, recording the footage, pulling all together, etc. Because I had the idea how about that some fedora people show the community how they work, what does their Desktop look like, what programms they use in EXACTLY the way I saw in your video ;-) It's on YouTube - I tried blip.tv and the upload kept stalling, so I split the video in to and got it up on YouTube just so I could make it available more quickly.

Fedora weekly news 193 podcast
hello there, I'm doing the fedora weekly news in german for quite a while, so I thought it would be a good time to make a little special for all those who better can follow such podcast in english. It can be found at http://blog.radiotux.de/2009/09/16/fedora-weekly-news-fwn-193/ and also the RSS feed of radiotux itself. What do you think about it so far? Are there interrests to have it in german AND english (maybe we could think then about putting it into zikula, iTunes, etc. - just some thought crawling around my brain) Hopefully you enjoy this little experiment and maybe somebody else have some fun making such podcasts and step in. Also I'm searching for Interview partners (Developers, Contributors, etc.) who want to say something and have to tell the world outside fedora whats on the minds of the Fedora people around the world. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

Re: Wiki cleanup
Hy, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_tasks: I'd like to archive this page, in the new cycle we have simply added a current tasks table to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_F12_schedule which serves the same purpose. I have transferred all the tasks which are still alive from the old page to the new one, but please have a look and tweak it as you like. Is it possible to diferentiate those a bit mor structureable? maybe let the Frontpage Marketing_tasks and then diferentiate to past , actual and future tasks. Also I think there will be allways ongoing tasts that could stay on the Marketing_tasts page... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UserTestimonials : updating this page was a task for the F11 cycle, but with project FooBar I propose that we archive it and integrate user testimonials directly in a section of the new CMS? We could have an article every month or so about a specific Fedora usage in a company or by someone as an article. +1 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxUserGroups : does this page still make sense? Archive? -1 ! Linux User Groups all around the world are (in my opinion) most of the community based structures outside Fedora itself. They have a lot of potential and even if there are strictly a marketing issue it can be one part of it... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_surveys : does this page still make sense? Archive? Good question ... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Books : this clearly needs love, I added it to the current tasks list. +1 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_brain_dump : does this page still make sense?

Re: Non English Podcast?
Hy, Henrik Heigl is doing the FWN in German for a German Linux Radio Project. Maybe he is interested in doing interviews with those persons. Felix ^^ To be honest, and also Henrik know, there were several people who are interested in translating the FWN in German and have that talk in the German Linux Radio; ... If somebody needs German Speaker for an interview we have in the German Community more that one person who is able to talk ... Sure. I am aware of that but I just gave a hint in a direction because I already heard some of Hendrik's works and thought it could be highly likely that he wants to do these podcasts. Of course it would be great if other people from the German community would step up and do something like this. Hy, thanks both of you. I also agree with both and thats why I not answered so far to this. I do the FWN in german, because I was asked to and nobody else stepped in (maybe they know that it is a time-eating job if you are not an Translation Expert and you work under a littel bit of pressure, because the FWN come out monday and the RadioTux show is in thursday). I can also do some more Interviews for podcasts but I would prefer if there are some other/more people who are interrested and could step into this. If not maybe I can make some of those for the Linuxtag RadioTux shows or produce some with others at the Linuxtag itself (I can bring some stuff for that if needed).

I myself have some experience in Studiomusic, maybe I can ask some international known guys...) ** first (eg. the first Fedora-album?!) I also think of ideas like a contest.

Hey guys, I was searching for some press stuff for F10, but at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressReleases I did'nt found there any texts about F10 I can use out of the box. Does anybody know where I can find it? For F10 I can update the presskit, but maybe someone has some main points I can put in. best regards Henrik Heigl - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: the 4f
I was was asking myself why there are no Logo and Banner changes made with the new 4 Foundations? Are these planned for launching with F10? It's too late now to do it for F10. I think we ought to replace infinity/freedom/voice with the four foundations by or on F11's release Hmm, maybe its too late for print, but maybe online there could someone change the Banners and Texts very soon just in time. I think thats a matter of several minutes to change the Graphics and change it online. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that since July (see also http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-July/msg00142.html ) it is known that there was a change from 3 to 4 Foundations... Maybe there could by a change step by step. best regards Henrik Heigl - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

Re: press kit
Hy, I had a short look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Press and I miss a press-kit, a lets say press information document, a short doc where all necessary things a journalist needs to know about fedora is presented. Is there a need for it? If yes, I would be glad to write one. We had a Press Kit for the Fedora 9 release, a nice one-sheet that we would send to press along with a Live USB. I don't know where the source for that went (maybe pfrields has it), but I think it would be good to update/translate it for F10. I have the Scribus source for it here: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/collateral/presskit/presskit.sla (the generated PDF is here: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/collateral/presskit/presskit.pdf) Thanks so far for the press info about F9. I will put stuff out of it an put it into. best regards Henrik -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Re: Release Artwork Process
Hy, I had yesterday no time for IRCing, but the diagram looks very nice. Some ideas I had on this to improve this Diagram a bit: * did't we have a corporate Font for fedora? * the pases/steps I found very good - not to much steps to get to a goal * what should be Phase 2 and 3 (text)? * Sorry, to hear about the stripes, I found them ... not so good for reading I would vote to implement it directly into the guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork#Fedora_Artwork_Guidelines best, Henrik hi all! yesterday, on IRC ianweller suggested that i make an image/diagram outlining the release artwork development process... here is my first work in progress... feel free to work on this if you want, add content, make it look prettier... :) PNG: http://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/art.png SVG: http://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/artteamprocess.svg cheers, ryanlerch P.S.

That are words, but no theme ;-) What do we want to buidl around it? Should there be a thing like the BSD fish or the Budweiser frogs and lizzard, what would we connect with the 4 foundations? What pictures would we compare with that? Does the first friend of Fedora features freedom around the world or does the first freedom we have on our computers was featured from fedora? Would we like to build a theme around the words or should the words stand for themself? Questions I like to throw in the round ... Another idea: paint some cute little things and name them fed ora and fed ori and let them play some comics (I saw some great stuff from some fedora-Artists ;-) )... Another idea: Interview with lets say a guy on the street. question to him: Do you have a Computer? He (young guy): of course.

new Artwork ideas for FC10
Hy together, in order to a small discussion of the upcoming FC10 Artwork on the marketing-list I had some ideas I would like to give here for further comments. I has the thought if we can't think a bit bigger for FC10?! This is the 10th Version of an Operatingsystem. 10th Anniversery. We have a one and THEN the null behind. We have decades going forward... So just some thoughts/ideas we could have: - collect some/all the (unpublished) Artwork of the years and put them together or remaster some of the old ideas, made them retro or so. - ask VIP's (let your imagination flow who this could be...) make some Artwork. I don't mean that as a blow against the art-team or so (Nicu Buculei mentioned such a thing) but it CAN be a way to have lets say unusual stuff in here. an (maybe bad) example: let Stallman scribble the fedora Logo and work that out or ask people like Doc Baumann, Linus Torwalds, Mark Shuttleworth or such guys. maybe we can work out lets say 12 different VIP Pics or scribbles for that. - put in some photos as backgrounds, maybe from big events or meetings... there are few Pictures as backgrounds, but many people have some. There are many ways to put in lets say faces of fedora in a smooth way... - best of artwork-artwork: any Artworker give one bit of his work to another and let him or her work that out, let your minds flow, cooperate, work out things together, etc. - other ideas... So, any comments on my ideas? sincerly Henrik Heigl /// wonderer at fedoraproject.org // ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: Article: Concept Art for Fedora 10
Hy, my first idea was also we live in 2008 and not 19xx but thats another thing ;-) Care to elaborate a bit around that? Ok. We are here on the Marketing list. If I think of Marketing I have ONE great picture, One theme, one of the main Wallpapers, one Logo brand, one main-Theme i can use for a Campain. E.G.: see sony ( http://www.gearfuse.com/sony-to-unleash-magical-mystery-product-on-monday/ ). I think with a good Artwork there can be also a good Marketing around that. See BSD with a small Comic, music, Poster, etc. around a new Release. If I saw the Artwork I think it looks very good, but the fedora Logo seems often only be pasted in a ready made Wallpaper or background someone have fond elsewhere on the Internet. How about a Slogan to the 10th Anniversery or so? How about to put in the Keywords we have or work the pics around these words? Nicu, you mentioned in another Link I followed: http://molaora.com/index.php/photos/album/6/photo/3.html i see in this picture an Apple Add or maybe the Ubuntu-Style. This are all Campains that are out now. Maybe there are other ideas around that ... just my 10Cents... But I also has the thought if we can't think a bit bigger for FC10?! This is the 10th Version of an Operatingsystem. 10th Anniversery. We have a one and THEN the null behind. We have decades going forward... Or we can restart the counter, change the project name, whatever... remember how RHL morphed into Fedora when it was to hit the magic number. Yeah, but that was also a major structure change. I think Fedora has only a major Release ;-) So just some thoughts/ideas we could have: - collect all the (unpublished) Artwork of the years and put them together There was a work-in-progress about that: http://molaora.com/index.php?photos/album/8/photo/39.html but as you can see, it was about published Artwork, not unpublished (as there may be a reason why some graphics were not published). ... so I thought. I think every Artwork-Designer has some scribbles and unfinished work collected over the years ;-) ... maybe it is time to get these out of the box :-) - ask VIP's (let your imagination flow who this could be...) make some Artwork I think that would be a major blow to the Art Team, like lack of confidence in their/our skills. I wrote that on the artwork list so far. I don't want to annoy anybody! I only thought of to have some people like maybe Doc Baumann, Linus Torwalds, Mark Shuttleworth, etc. to make some scribbles or so and the Artteam can work something out. maybe FC10 can have 12 Wallpapers or Themes or so. - put in some photos as backgrounds, maybe from big events or meetings... Such photos do not make for a good wallpaper on which one would stare all day long. And we need an assortment of additional graphics (banners, splashes) to match. That can be all fit together. I see no problem in that to have one or two realistic Photo-Wallpapers or so in the set... - other ideas... So, any comments on my ideas? How about talking about that on the Art list? Not all of us are subscribed here. I have done this yet, thanks. But this can also be a Marketing Topic. It all fits maybe together... best regards Henrik Heigl // wonderer at fedoraproject.org // -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
