[Fedora-marketing-list] Interesting Article

I'm sure you will find this an interesting read. One of the things that
I found quite interesting is that apple seems to be alive and well.
I personally don't know anyone that run apple computers so I was
surprised by the statistics however. I find it quite disheartening the
analogies that were presented.
Are we missing something? or how should I put am I missing something?
Is ubuntu that much better than fedora? If it is why is it? I know its
a personal opinion but what specifically about it?
Anyways would love others points of view.

[Fedora-marketing-list] Linuxday on 9th September in Tirol/Austria
by Claus Reheis
Hi!
I will help on the installationparty on this event and want to know
if it is possible to get some FEDORA-Flyers, folders or anything else
with a fedora-logo on it?
Until now the Installation-Team is 90% (K)Ubuntu focused (Canonical Ltd
sponsored) and I would like to show a little Fedora presence there!
So is it possible to get the stuff and if yes, where to ask for it?
Greetings,
Claus

[Fedora-marketing-list] About Fedora Usability
by Damien Durand
Dear board and Fedora Usability members,
I'm writing this mail to speak about the Fedora Usability project/sigs.
Explain the objectifs and fix various conflicts about this.
First a description : The Fedora Usability project aims to provide
coherence, accessibility and intuivity for all people using Fedora Core and
its associated resources.
Then my goals with this project/sigs are :
- Help the developer team to build coherent and easy to use applications
- Help the webmaster team to provide a coherent comprehensive website
- Help the documentation team to provide a coherent and comprehensive
documentation
How?
- Track the uncoherent things in the Fedora softwares, read the Fedora
contents about the documentation and websites. Once a thing is detected,
this one is reported to the Usability Schedule and is fixed by a patch. Next
this patch is send to the maintainer.
The Usability project/sigs allows to us to study the user actions and
understand how the users use the Fedora distribution and different
resources. Correct me If I'm wrong but Fedora is not only a distribution for
sysadmins and developers. Fedora must be usable by everyone! So it's my
opinion and people who don't agree with this will not have a beer to the
next fudcon ;-)
I'll make a rapport about this project/sigs every weeks and send it to
Thomas Chung to show the advancements.
Fedora must be simple and for everyone and we make an effort whit that.
Good day to all and thanks in advance,
Damien Durand

is now...
