in-depth look at F11 features
by Max Spevack
Hi list,
Please take a look at this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_in-depth_features
The purpose of this page is to take an in-depth look at particular
features in the Fedora 11 release. The page offers several suggestions
of how that might be done.
The F11 marketing schedule has us working on these between now and
late-April, in preparation for the F11 Preview Release.
We're looking for people to take ownership of particular features on the
list, and drive it to completion, working with the Marketing team, but
having a single owner accountable for the end result.
Please take a look, sign up if you are interested, and start coming to
the weekly Marketing meetings where we will discuss.
Thanks,
Max

Hello there,
I was asked several times this week whether Fedora provides any kind
of Cloud Computing solutions. Everyone around me is just talking about
SaaS and Cloud Computing. I'm not familiar with all types of web based
solutions fedora rpms provide. So if anyone thinks he/she knows
something please do respond and let me know.
Currently all I can talk is about our Virtualisation solutions. Is
there an updated flyer / wikipage for this ?
FYI: a nice paper about Cloud Computing

desktop relevance
by Marcus Moeller
Good Evening,
I was a bit disappointed to read the interview with Jim Whitehurst on
InfoWorld where he talked about (Red Hat's) Linux desktop's relevance.
On the one hand I agree with him that desktops will move more and more
to hosted applications or virtual frameworks. But besides that Red Hat
already offers a gread desktop product with a large userbase: Fedora.
Also web based components will be more and more integrated into
traditional desktop products. Please remember that there are still a
lot of people out there using old versions of Windows, too. These also
want to take part in the online future. So there will be backports and
browser plugins.
And note: Fedora does offer all of that great features, today.
But as InfoWorld is a traditionally business-oriented netmag the focus
was on 'making money with Linux desktops' I can somewhat understand
his position. You can earn more money with services and solutions. I
am just disappointed that it has not been clearly stated that the best
way to keep up on that road is to use free components and to improve
the (free) Linux desktop experience.
Best Regards
Marcus

Face of Fedora
by Yannik Stadelmaier
Ok, so as we talked yesterday at the meeting, i help to run this project.
Do we call the whole campaign (written & audio & video interveiws) Face
of Fedora?
I think this would be the best idea. So then everyone has a place to go
when he searches stuff of the project.
So maybe we ca split it up like this structure:
Face of Fedora
|-- Written Interveiws
|-- Audio Interviews
|-- Video Interviews
|-- Proposals for interview-partners
For the proposals we can use a table like this:
Media | Name | Contribution
----------------------------------------
Written | XYZ | Translator
Audio | ABC | Packager
Video | JKL | Infrastructure
What do you think?
greetings

convincing way to the audience. Let me know if any of you have got ideas

Slogan == Call to action
by Paul W. Frields
The best slogans are calls to action. Can we agree to concentrate not
on descriptions of Fedora for a slogan, but calls to action, with an
active verb?
"Freedom to rock out": Not such a good slogan. There's no call to
action, just a description of what the product provides.
"Rock out": Better, and makes the consumer feel like they're being
empowered by the product.
