Improved audio from Paul Frields 2008 fudcon talk ogg
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I listened to Paul Frields 2008 fudcon talk fron an ogg I downloaded
[1] from "Fedora TV" Miro channel [2].
The audio is really hard to listen because it is recorded far from the
speaker (my conclusion) so I can hear Paul barely. To hear him well I
need to turn on the volume really high but then my eardrums almost
exploded when I heard first applause because that is much, much, much
lauder!
To fix that is trivial and here is how I did it.
1. I opened the ogg in audacity
2. selected the whole track
3. under Effect I choose "Leveller" and applied to on the "Hardest" setting.
4. listened to the output
5. again applied "Leveller" with hardest setting
6. exported the audio.
Please listen and compare my version [3] with one on Miro site.
if you can connect me with people uploading audio I can give them tips
like this on how to enhance audio for better quality.
Cheers,
Valent.

how to make others understand Fedora Project?
by Valent Turkovic
I saw that there is a lot of missunderstanding of fedora and it's
goals. It saw that this has been talked about a lot in Fedora Board
meetings. But how to go practically and explain to other fedora and
non-fedora users this.
As an example look at this thread I started:
http://linuxoutlaws.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=593&start=30&st=0&sk=t...
I would ask other fedora users to please give a hand in explaining
some of misconceptions. Also please be very critical of me and if you
have any suggestions of what I should have or shouldn't have said
please tell me, also please suggest to me and others how to carry in
such conversations.
Cheers,
Valent.

Workshop about Linux in Dharan, Nepal -- Help! wanted
by Tushar Neupaney
Dear ambassadors,
I am conducting a three day workshop in BPKIHS, Dharan, this is a medical
university and I hope that at least a 1000 people will attend.
To make this opportunity an event of a lifetime and utilize it to motive
many to use Linux is my prime goal.
Can anyone contribute to the materials that are needed to be discussed in
the workshop.
The things that should not be missed and anything special that can be done
economically and easily to motive people.
The tentative date of starting is August 20. (Date still flexible)
We can support:
1. Hall for workshop.
2. Some computers (Not all can get one! limitation due to the crowd)
3. We also have a small set of volunteers (Count: 30)
4. Other supports are still to come....
Hoping to get some support,
Best Regards,
Tushar.

Using multimedia as a resource to promote Fedora
by Roní Gonçalves
Hi, Marketing group!
This message is to expose one idea I had. This idea is about video using and
is inspired by
these two iniciatives:
1. http://fedoratv.com/
1.1 http://jonrob.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/fedora-tv/
2. http://mihmo.livejournal.com/57168.html
So, these video productions have inspired me to think about a new way of
presenting and
promoting the next versions of Fedora. I'm suggesting this because I think
that the
merchandising made for Fedora could be improved by using more multimedia
formats, it means,
when new versions of the system are up to be released the only marketing in
the official site
is a counterdown ("There're n! days to Fedora x be released") and posts of
users/ambassadors on
their blogs/sites/etc about the releasing. Then, I think that, as the
artwork team is already
working on the possible themes for the new release, a new kind of
presentation using videos
to promote what's up to come. Videos movie-trailer-like with an attractive,
but still mysterious
to make who watches them get interested in Fedora new version. And a
"Release Video" could be
done with co-operation of the marketing and artwork teams and be disponible
in the Fedora Project
Mainpage.

rebranding EPEL
by Karsten Wade
Bringing this discussion to Fedora Marketing as the best place for
another fun (re)branding exercise. fedora-epel-devel-list has been
invited here for the discussion.
Many of us think, with the agreement of the EPEL Steering Committee,
that the name 'EPEL' is, uh, insufficient. Well, it sucks a little bit,
but it was also a reasonable resolution that let us get ahead with the
actual work. This topic is about what we should rename/rebrand EPEL.
If you really like the EPEL name, you'll have to rally a team of
supporters to convince the rest of us that it is worth keeping. :)
Tomorrow, Wednesday 9 July, at 1400 EDT/1800 UTC we are going to kick
off the renaming with a conference call. Hopefully some branding folks
from Red Hat can join.
From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Meetings#Teleconference_number :
* Get the VoIP/dial-in number details here:
http://talk.fedoraproject.org/
* Fedora Marketing now has a conference room setup to use at-will, it is
extension 2004.
