Re: Fedora-sponsored specials: All Things Open
Agreed. One other wrinkle that was mentioned to me: LISA is mostly experienced sysadmins. It has a lot of attendees, but they may not be the right people to care about a Free Yourself From XP type message. (Not that they are against it -- more that they are beyond it.) Are there any other large conferences coming up with a slant that is more our audience? What about Ohio Linux Fest? (cc'ing that event owner in case he has ideas.)

Re: Fedora-sponsored specials: All Things Open
Have we any photos or articles explaining more information about these? I'm just wondering if I could use these locally Rikki Endsley rends...@redhat.com wrote: Ruth is sending some to OLF this week (I think she's in the shipping room now), and SEAGL is also a great idea. Joe Brockmeier is organizing a lot of our LISA presence, and I'm not attending it this year so I'm not sure what we've arranged with them. I'm in RDU w/him now, so I'll give him a heads up on this thread so he can chime in. I think that even when F21 comes out, these won't be dated - the target audience is first-time Linux users (people moving from Windows XP). Still, it would be best to distribute these all by the end of 2014 so they are new (and not taking up storage space). And one final note: Linux New Media is eager to do more partnerships with us. So brainstorm on that. Rikki Endsley | Community Evangelist Open Source and Standards (OSAS), Red Hat http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @redhatopen | @rikkiends - Original Message - From: Paul W.

I would seriously consider sending all or most of them to LISA. Once F21 is released we can still distribute these but they won't have the same appeal. John, What about sending a few hundred sent to SEAGL? That seems like another good event with enough time still for these to arrive. cc'ing lcafiero in case he's interested, since we have a few days still to get them to him if so. I like your idea about LISA. I recall mattdm saying the audience of attendees there (more professionals) tends to have a significant bump in CentOS/RHEL awareness and use. Putting modern Fedora in their hands sounds like a very good idea. Do we need to file a FAMNA ticket or anything else to get this underway? We don't want these magazines to age out while we muse about what to do with them. Rikki, is there someone from OSAS at LISA who would take ownership of the magazines on site, and putting them in attendees' hands at the booth? (2K is a lot of magazines -- it sounds difficult for them to all land at the booth when the show starts.) -- Paul W.
