I recently after many arguments with my manager installed Fedora 14 in
my office [ A full windoz house, some of the guys in IT dept not even
heard of Thunderbird ] desktop and one of the best feedback that i got
for it [Fedora] from one of my colleague goes like this.
" are itna sahi UI aa gaya hai kya linux me....."
Seems like we can add some thing like a "Great UI" to the publicity
material, since it seems that people common still have the same image
of the 'KAALI DUNIYA' the SHELLS when talking about linux.
Thanks

Perhaps it would be asking too much but with this sentiment it may be
a good idea to hold a small informal "showing off Fedora" kind of
event with your colleagues and writing it up. Asking them how they use
their desktops at home and then assessing whether they could do the
same with a Fedora desktop would help both the projects and your
colleagues to adopt a Linux desktop at home.

Till now 2 guys have asked for the installation media [ i'm in talks
with one more still telling the benefits], though i've kept a back
foot since the build that i'm having is a Beta. So waiting for the
final roll-out and then handover the same to them.

@Saurabh ! Linux has come a long way from the days of "Kali Duniya" :-)

I think the new design of http://fedoraproject.org is a step towards showing
off the features including the user interface quite prominently. The
publicity material for Fedora releases are community generated. This
includes slides, one page release notes, announcements etc. If you want to
take part in it, you are very welcome to do via the marketing project.

We produce a number of documentation and promotional material every
release. We do feature stories that cover particular features including
interviews with the developers responsible for driving those particular
features. Refer to http://press.redhat.com/category/fedora/ to look at what
we have done for Fedora 14 release. These are often written by community
volunteers and Red Hat marketing publishes them to reach out to the press.
Then there is the announcement at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_announcement and one page release
notes at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_one_page_release_notes. Several
full length guide are updated for every release and available at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org and we also discuss website changes from time
to time in the websites list. If you are interested in participating in
documentation, marketing or web design, join the appropriate team and there
is more than enough things to get started with.

Fedora for the same group. Also i do have little bit knowledge of web so
can take up the web-design part. will take a look.

Yes, I noticed and I thank you for that. It is a important effort with
a renewed focus from the project and things like proventesters are
crucial to our success going forward. I think, one thing you can do is
to aggregate your blog in Planet Fedora and talk about your experiences
in participating, be it positive or negative. That will help us fine
tune the processes to help drive more participation and bring some more
visibility to an area that many people don't seem to be aware that they
have a opportunity.
