Can't get off email distribution
by Casey Jones
All,
I apologize right off the bat if this is not the appropriate way to communicate this request or the right address to send this to.
But, I have been trying to drop out of the email distribution list for the Fedora Ambassadors and any other email distributions I was signed up for. I'd like to continue, but I am just too flooded with emails that are work related or otherwise, and I need to recuse myself from these distribution lists.
However, I have a problem. I logged into the admin area and couldn't see anywhere to unsubscribe myself. I did find a link to make myself "Inactive." As soon as I did this and saved changes, it forced me to log out and I couldn't log back in.
But, the problem is that I'm still receiving the emails. Can someone please help???
Thank you!

Fedora Contributor Stories
by Ricky Zhou
At FUDCon, one of the things that I loved was hearing peoples' stories
of how they got involved with Fedora. Could it be a good marketing
campaign (aiming to attract new contributors) to collect and publish
these somewhere? Maybe this could somehow be related to Mairin's "I am
Fedora" videos as well.
By the way, does the marketing team usually work on specific campaigns
(with specific goals and targets)? Would this be a good way to organize
marketing work better?
What do you think?

Re: Fedora-marketing-list Digest, Vol 48, Issue 33
by Markus McLaughlin
I want everyone who has Small Business Concerns to go to my blog for my
ideas and then GOOGLE Small Business with Red Hat.
Next, I just read in linuxtoday.com, that Windoze XP has expired, and I want
to thank Microsoft for allowing Fedora and RHEL to
EXPAND!!!
Finally, have a GREAT 4th of July and keep on spreading the word about
Fedora!

Where can one discuss Small Business Matters as far as either making Fedora
more Small Business Friendly OR
going the route I will lay out for a "Red Hat Prosumer Linux?"
It is important to address such matters if not here then a site devoted to
Small Business.
Any word on Fedora 10, btw? I haven't read much about it yet and I feel the
next Fedora will be the BEST version EVER!!!

I see. I'll investigate further. Thank you.

Fedora 9 kernel configuration
by Adrian
Hello,
My name is Adrian Joian and I'm a fedora ambassador [1] for the
Romanian community. This is my first time that I'm addressing the
marketing list so please be patient with me.
I plan to write an article that will speak about Fedora 9 on laptops
on our local site [2]. My question is way the 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686
kernel is not compiled whit the following options, as they have big
impact on laptop "cpu sleep" :
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER
CONFIG_NO_HZ
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND
Are this values replaced by new ones, if yes what are the new options,
and forgive my lack of knowledge?
Do the above values cause some problems, if yes where can I find the bug
reports, again and forgive my lack of knowledge ?
Thank you very much for your time.

Linux Graphics, a Tale of Three Drivers
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Linux_Graphics_Essay
"Finally, setting aside the philosophical issues, economically it's
obvious from this data that binary drivers don't make sense: Nvidia
isn't in the list of top oops causers as part of some grand strategy to
make itself (and Linux) look bad. It's there because the cost of doing
the QA and continuous engineering to support the changing interfaces and
to detect and correct these problems outweighs the revenue it can bring
in from the Linux market. In essence this is because binary drivers
totally negate the shared support and maintenance burden which is what
makes Open Source so compelling. Additionally, there is also a drag
effect these binary drivers have on the rest of the ecosystem: for
instance, Fedora was under enormous pressure not to release Fedora 9
until there was a solution that allowed it to run with the Nvidia binary
driver (Fedora chose to ship with a pre-release of the X windows system
which Nvidia refused to support and because the driver was binary Fedora
couldn't simply fix the problems and ship anyway). "

Red Hat Prosumer Linux Proposal Announcement
by Markus McLaughlin
I'm sorry I couldn't be at FUDcon this year, I wish there was a virtual
extension of it, however. I look forward to all the news from it so I can
put something on my blog. I want to know the latest on Fedora 10! In the
meantime, I am getting ready to compose a second proposal, and I want to
send it to Red Hat, can someone give me an address I can send it to? The
idea is a "step up" from Fedora but a "lite" version of RHEL for Small
Businesses or Homes with advanced needs. I call this OS : "Red Hat Prosumer
Linux," perhaps this would be the consumer linux everyone would love to
have. The best of both worlds, the multimedia, fun, and community of Fedora
with some of the advanced features that RHEL offers with limited tech
support for a year. Unlike Red Hat Linux which was sold on store shelves,
this OS would only be available at online Linux vendor sites as well as
redhat.com. The software would be sold from $30 to $50. It would also be
offered as a 30 day trialware, if anyone wants to keep it, they purchase the
registration code for $50. Anyway, I think it's a great idea and
something advanced Home Users are craving. If anyone like to help me with
this proposal, my e-mail is hudsonman35(a)gmail.com. Onward and forward!

Kernel Driver Statement
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
"We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source
Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have
repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and
the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness,
stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development
model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux
community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their
customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors.
Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and
shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to
adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source
kernel code."
