Hi,

I'm interested by some short texts or sentences about Fedora 9 new features that could catch the attention of the press people. These might be in the Fedora spirit I recall in the subject: Fedora always leads, never follows.

What makes Fedora different in facts for users and what is really important to say about F9 release (for ex.: vs Ubuntu current release ; vs any other free/open offer).

I plan to send a press release WITH a live CD and a complete DVD to all the computer media writers when it will time to (and why not a F9 tee-shirt?)

Any proposal is welcome and we can discuss it to set the right words in the "perfect" press release*. We will keep an English one. Then any ambassador or marketing group's member can translate for local use).

This subject could be in the marketing news list but I think ambassadors should be closer to users, vendors and press. Finally, most of us are in the marketing group!

Thanks to help in this brainstorm.

Franz

* A press release must be short, strait to the hot spots, easy to understand and it have to highlight what really matter for the users. So prefer "Fedora project strike again in Linux World with top of the art release 9!" more than "Fedora project announce release 9!" (That will be translated in magazines - if done - by something like "Another release for Fedora Linux"). And, if this is possible, think about NINE best striking - 2008 feeling - sentences. After the title and the nine striking points, we need a short text, about 3 or 4 lines they say "What is Fedora (at least a LINUX leading OS)" ; "Who can/may use it and Why" ; "How to get it".
