Slogans and face value
by Paul W. Frields
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/20/technology/20drill.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
This short article came to my attention in light of the discussions
about a per-release slogan. I thought other Marketing folks might want
to take a look. Perhaps there's something to the idea of avoiding a
CTA type slogan per release, and concentrating more on our core
messaging that builds up awareness and coherence of the Fedora brand.
Just a thought...

[In the news] Simplify LDAP with Fedora's 389 Directory Server
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Cover all the basic details on getting started with 389 directory server
(formerly Fedora directory server)
http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/360800-manage-your-ldap-data-with-38...
"If you've ever had to deal with LDAP, you know it is not an easy beast to
master. In fact, the command line tools for LDAP alone would keep many users
from even attempting to learn how to take advantage of this powerful tool.
If you look, you'll find several tools that make the job of managing LDAP
data easier. One of the best is the 389 Directory Server for Fedora and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. 389 is extremely powerful and offers a simple to use
GUI for all aspects of user, group, and server management."

Self-Introduction: Ritesh Ambastha
by Ritesh Ambastha
Hi, my name is *Ritesh Ambastha* and I live in *Gujarat, India *(location or
timezone). My Fedora Account System
(FAS)<https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts> username
is *Riteshambastha*, and my IRC <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IRC> nick is
*ambyritz*. (OR: I am new to IRC and would like help getting started!)
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through *Mr. Viji Nair (A Fedora
Ambassador)*, and am interested in joining because *I want to educate
students about benefits of using Fedora*.
This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! (OR: I've worked in open
source and/or Free Software in the past. Some of the projects I've worked
on, or communities I've been involved with, include: *I have helped
companies to migrate on Open Source Technologies in the past*.)
This is the first Marketing project I have worked on! (OR: I've worked in
Marketing in the past. Some of the projects I've worked on, or roles I've
had, include:*I have been organizing seminars and workshops on Linux, FOSS,
etc. I am leading an educational start-up called iWillStudy.com*.)
My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include:
- (Marketing Skills) - *Public Relations, Networking*
- (Other Skills) - *Excellent communication skills*
- I'd also like to learn *How to help Fedora grow in Indian Education
space*.
When I'm not working on Fedora, I am *The Director* at *iWillStudy.com*.
(Studying at this school, working at this company, pursuing this hobby.)
A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are *to setup Fedora based
Labs for CSE/IT branches in colleges *and *to organize various workshops in
Engineering Schools*.
I am wondering about *How can I start from today itself*. (What questions do
you have?)
Please help me get started!
Sincere Regards,
Ritesh Ambastha

MMM. Marketing Meeting Minutes. 2010/09/21
by Robyn Bergeron
Thanks to all who came.
I NEED HELP! As you can see below my name is attached to a lot of
stuff and I'd love to share the contribution love around. We have
beta one-page release notes and beta announcements in the pipe to be
done in the next week or two. If you are interested in helping out,
please pipe up and volunteer! I'll be writing some blog entries and
stickster will be doing some twidentica-ing to help rally some
marketing love and help for these tasks.
Also: I've sent out a request to get a new time for the marketing
meeting. If you're currently unable to make our existing time slot,
but would like to come to meetings in the future, please let us know
by filling out the link that was sent out.
Thanks!
