[Fedora-marketing-list] Editor's Note: Linux Bling With 100% Free Software

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi Not sure much about Fedora but Free software in general and good to see more of these articles recognize the nature of Fedora. It is likely to be more of a differentiation point over time. http://www.linuxtoday.com/it_management/2007011201935OPSW "Both Fedora and Debian have always had a policy of including only Free/Open source software. Users who want non-FOSS packages can easily get them from alternative repositories; they're just a click away. This permits users to easily control what goes on their systems. Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora releases a live CD

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi .. And surprisingly, the live CD tools will also help package maintainers. As per the live CD roadmap, there are plans to pump out daily live CD builds of the Fedora development tree, called rawhide. If there are dependency problems with packages in rawhide, the live CD won't get built, making the problem immediately obvious. Zeuthen thinks that this will encourage maintainers of broken packages to fix problems quickly. http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/11/1841241 A informative article. Rahul

Questions: - Who takes the final decision on the name and When?? - Are there going to be voting? or put in another way, how will our input on this list influence the decision?? - Have the NAMES for the been narrowed down to "Fedora" and "Fedora Linux" ?? i dont have any problem with either Fedora or Fedora Linux Have nu year to all Regards Amaechi Mgbeoji Fedora Ambassador, Nigeria ----- Original Message ---- From: Leo To: fedora-marketing-list(a)redhat.com Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 10:44:20 AM Subject: [Fedora-marketing-list] Re: Red Hat's Fedora to Get Longer Support * Stephen Krenzel (2007-01-11 02:54 -0500) said: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > I have to agree with Susmit.

I can totally agree to that. Make it simple, make it just Fedora. That's the best way of avoiding the holy war between Linux and GNU/Linux. We all know that Linux kernel is just a part of a Linux distribution, and we also know that a Linux distribution has lots of non GNU components. -- Igor Jagec -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list +1

[Fedora-marketing-list] More on the millions

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi "Red Hat's Fedora Core 6.0 Linux distribution has crossed the million user milestone. Is it enough for the community-driven Linux distribution to claim it's the most popular Linux version? Let's go to the stats. According to Fedora Project statistics, Fedora Core 6.0 has averaged 9.4 new installations every minute since the release of Red Hat's community driven distribution in late October" http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3652771 "On average, Red Hat is seeing over 95,000 Fedora Core 6 installs per week, which is a very high rate for an operating system, Linux or not. And the numbers are growing as time progresses, with recent weeks above 100,000 new installs and the Christmas and Hanukkah holiday week accounting for 130,000 downloads. Those numbers do not count installations from mirror sites on the Internet that distribute Fedora Core, by the way. (You can see the stats for Fedora Core 6 downloads on this page.)" http://www.itjungle.com/tlb/tlb010907-story07.html Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] M-L proposal

by Francesco Ugolini

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've a modest proposal that consist in the merge of Fedora Ambassador and Fedora Marketing mailing lists. The reson of this is that i've see that many time the discussions are the same and it's seems to me as a redundant thing. I think that if we want to work better we have to work togheter, put our power into something and be sure that is no lost time. Yes, if we consider it we have to consider to open ambassadors list to non ambassador people (as marketing is). I think it will be a new step to improve the project giving all interested people to join the project and simplify the infrastructure.

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora Core 6 reaches the 1 million mark in just 74 days

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi The leading paragraph in this news item is misleading as the statistics are not about downloads but IP addresses that hit our update system. Our download rates are much higher but we dont have a central way to track them. Exciting times though. I am curious to see what the stats would look like for Fedora 7 with its multiple releases in place. http://distrocenter.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/08/1937206&tid=107 Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] laptop stickers

by Dimitrios 'sehh' Michelinakis

I'd like to create some laptop stickers. Is there an already made package which contains such stickers in vector (or high quality bitmap) format that i can just give to a printing service and get them done right away? If not, is there a place where i can get the Fedora logo so i can create my own? Thank you. -- Dimitrios Michelinakis Fedora Ambassador, Greece
