[Fedora-marketing-list] Vibrancy of Fedora

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi "We look at the vibrancy of the Fedora Project, our open source community. Fedora is Red Hat's vehicle for bringing advanced technology really quickly to end-users. The last release of Fedora has been out for about four months and we are averaging more than 100,000 downloads a week and 1.5 million downloads total. Compare that 100,000 a week to Oracle with their release of Oracle Linux. We reach in seven hours what they reached in their very first month of releasing that source code." http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&t... http://www.infoworld.com/video/archives/2007/02/red_hat.html Since we are actually track IP connections on updates instead of downloads, I suspect our actual download numbers are way higher. It appears we are going to hit 2 millions Fedora Core 6 users in a few weeks too. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] Digital freedom structured: From "The statesman" Slightly off the topic.

by susmit shannigrahi

Not directly related to Fedora..and not that this article provides you something new.. But worth taking a look. It's good to see that people are discussing and advocating FLOSS. 'Here are two links 1. http://www.anandabazar.com/11bus2.htm This is from a Bangla newspaper (A Indian regional language And Official language of Bangladesh). I am not translating the whole article.. It says that IT minister of West Bengal advocated for FLOSS and encourges using Linux in schools,colleges.He hopes that this reduction in cost will produce more manpower and increase the reach of technology and will take technology to a wider audience. 2. The second one is from The statesman.Titled: Digital freedom structured. "Sometime ago, Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation was quoted in the Associated Press as saying, "Proprietary software companies hand out free copies for the same reason that cigarette companies give sample packs to college kids ~ to encourage addiction." http://www.thestatesman.net/page.arcview.php?clid=4&id=173454&usrsess=1 -- ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi

[Fedora-marketing-list] Short info about Linux Solutions Event (France)

by Armelk (AKServer)

Good afternoon Fedora Community, the last week we have in France the major event about the Open Source and Linux (10 000 Visitors). In this event the major companies are present (RedHat, Novell, Mandriva, IBM Open Source, Alcove, Bull,...) and in parallel a lot of free associations or development are present to (Fedora, Debian, Unbutu, KDE,...) During this event a lot of French Fedora Ambassadors are present and the Fedora Users are present to. We have a lot of very interesting discussions about the future of Fedora, issues, requests, .... It's very interesting time for the Fedora French community to share the same knowledge and the same passion. In the Linux community, we have a very good image and Fedora is a serious distribution. But the French Ambassador Team doesn't play in the same division of Unbutu, Debian,... WHY ? No real support from the Fedora US, we waiting the Fedora DVD and Fedora T-Shirt. Special thank to RedHat EMA, Frantz Meyer, William Hoffman, for 100 Fedora Core 6 DVD. This is the second time we have the same issue with the Famsco, lot of promise but nothing in the acts. The French ambassadors are really despites. I cross the fingers for the next event WE have a VERY STRONG SUPPORT from the Famsco side, for your info, in France during the spring we have a lot of local events (Install Party, Linux Day,...) and the next major event for you is the Fosdem/Fudcon and I 'sorry I don't participate at this event. Have a nice day. ArmelKermorvant French Ambassador & Vice-President Fedora-FR

[Fedora-marketing-list] Merging Fedora-Ambassadors-List and Fedora-Marketing-List

by Thomas Chung

There have been several discussions on merging Fedora-Ambassadors-List and Fedora-Marketing-List. Since there are two groups with two different opinions on which list should be eliminated and which list should be survived, I would like to propose a new Fedora Mailing List with a new name which everyone can agree. Based on comparing other distros mailing lists and ours and some comments made in the past, I would like to propose "Fedora-Advocates-List" * http://lists.debian.org/completeindex.html * https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ * http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate * http://www.redhat.com/magazine/018apr06/departments/red_hat_speaks/ * http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-October/msg0006... Please tell us your feedback and opinion and FAMSco will put this on a vote two weeks from today. Regards. -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora LiveCD 7 Test 1 Preview

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi The only gripe expressed is the lack of a build environment in the desktop CD which is intentional since we dont target a developer workstation with it. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=637&num=1 Rahul

by Thomas Chung

All, This is a reminder that we still have about 40 un-fulfilled requests waiting for Fedora Free Media for the month January 2007[1]. Please accept at least one or two requests even if they are not from your country. You can always *Give the Gift of Fedora*[2] via our Fedora Sponsored Media Program[3] when you donate to participating vendors to send media to someone who can't afford to get it for themselves especially those in developing countries. Best Regards, [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/FC6DVD/January [2] http://www.redhat.com/fedora/ [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/SponsoredMedia -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
