[fedora-marketing] Issue #250 `Fedora User Handbook`
by Eduard Lucena
x3mboy reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-marketing` that you are following:
``
== Case
There is a new project from Ambassadors called ["Fedora User Handbook"](https://pagure.io/ambassadors/fedora-handbook). The idea is to have a generic book for beginners that can be used among releases. Even when the original book is in Czech, the project is to make the english translation the main one and from the english version start to create translations in other languages.
== Proposal
The proposal is to start to read the handbook, provide feedback (or even translations when possible) and try to have the book finished to F26 Release and start to publicize it.
== Actions made
Right now I'm working in the spanish translation, hoping to finish soon.
== Expectations
There are a lot of "Beginners books" that gain attraction but can be outdated or giving wrong information about both the distro and the community. Having one born from the community, and when all of us can be involved, updating the info and putting the right info about everything could be a great place to start and to drive new user into Fedora.

Unable to chair meeting today
by Justin W. Flory
Hello all,
Because of the past holiday weekend, my university rearranged the course
schedule for this week and I realized that I will not be able to attend
the Marketing meeting today because I'll be in classes during the
meeting time.
Is there anyone who could help by chairing today's meeting in my place?
Apologies for the late notification on this.
Thanks!

"State of Fedora Marketing: 2017" slides (placeholder)
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all,
As we discussed, I went ahead and created the Google Doc slides for the
presentation we want to give to the Council next month. There's nothing
there right now, but it should be publicly viewable. I think you are
able to request editing rights in the document, but if not, you can
reply off-list to me with your preferred email and I'll grant you
editing privileges.
We can try to have some more strategic discussion on this either on the
list or in next week's meeting. Since we have some flexibility for time
and I know a lot of us are tied up in the week with other things, we can
try to make progress on this at the meeting (but if someone wants to be
ambitious and start piecing it together, that would be awesome!!!).

(jwf, 13:05:03)
* The Fedora Council held their FAD from 26-28 March. During the FAD,
they tackled some key areas of interest across the project. This is
one part of a series of posts (to come). Important information for
any contributor to review. (jwf, 13:05:09)

(jwf, 13:05:20)
* A generic article supporting the Fedora 26 Alpha release. Nothing
too unique, mostly positive, advises caution to using it on stable
machinery. Worth noting is that they source their changes from the
26 ChangeSet wiki page. (jwf, 13:05:25)

* Softpedia covered GNOME developer Christian Schaller's blog post

* Our Facebook post resharing the article was one of our most widely
responded to post on Facebook… ever! As of now, 69,018 people
reached, 1.4k likes, and 257 shares! People are in love with the
idea of upstream collaboration (it seems)! (jwf, 13:05:59)

* IDEA: Bringing back the SXSW-style brochures is one thing that would
be helpful to demo what non-Linux users can do with Linux (great for
installfests / hackathons) (jwf, 13:39:29)
* IDEA: To the Council: Seeking clarification on target audiences so
we can better work with Ambassadors to get feedback "from the
ground" and convert that into deliverables that help move Fedora
forward (jwf, 13:40:38)
* IDEA: To us, later: Having topic-based meetings to drive discussions
around specific areas or topics instead of jumping around with a
ticket-based focus (jwf, 13:41:13)

outline/presentation, share with x3mboy, mailga, bkp, others (jwf,

building the presentation (will collaborate in Google Docs), bkp and

Re: [Ambassadors] Fedora LiveUSB station - brainstorming
by Zoltan Hoppar
Hi,
More random brainstorming thoughts about Fedora LiveUSB station...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think if many of us envision this device with display and touch UI - I
think the best cheap option is the Friendlyelec/Friendlyarm Nanopi S2+ 7
inch packaged LCD option witch is around 70 USD (19 USD is the LCD!) in
total, with a single DSI display cable, without the usual sandwich PCB
solution (eg. can be more prettier if you want to package it by yourself).
The only issue is that S2 board has a Samsung mobile CPU, witch is in my
knowledge - unsupported by Fedora ARM. Basically it would be cool to
showcase that we build and run this based on Fedora - that is why I thought
in the first to get well known, and Fedora ARM supported boards. Intel
solution would be also great, but yet most of them are damn expensive for
budget solutions.
Also I feel that we should think on 3 different price points, one headless
solution with commonly known and supported board with led progress bar, one
with small LCD (1 to 4 inch something) and one with big one (7 inch and
above) to keep the device mobile - or if every chance breaks - have an HDMI
monitor at hand with keyboard. More thoughts in kiosk solution: I think
would be way nice to have a camera monopod - tripod to easily stand the
device, so the booth will not be buried with people. Else - for cheaper
pricepoint - IMHO would like to keep on the desk.
Earlier we had a Photobooth....
----------------------------------
Mainly I think we can say that this headless/or kiosk box can fill a lots
of purpose. One of our Fedora guy in the HU team told me - according to
that the earlier mentioned camera mono/tripod - we had earlier also an
photobooth solution (and we can reuse that python code for sure I think),
and many of this boards usually has MIPI or somekind of camera connector...
so this is also can be a combination, opportunity.
Fedora BluePrints...
--------------------
But, IMHO the main targeted purpose would be to share Fedora images, and
showcase that you can build it with Fedora, on Fedora, by Fedora, for
Fedora and to the community. For this, I think I have an another idea, a
website, a list of blueprints, what can anybody use it - and make it with
Fedora. Maybe for 3d printer files, cad design files... Maybe it's only for
a list of recipes, in form of Fedora HUB, I don't know yet - but would be a
great thing to show that we do it - hence the name as Fedora BLUEPRINTS
would be awesome. With that not only we can show what can people begin with
Fedora, else the spins, and the other stuffs are get a new meaning in the
puzzle, and modularity, including atomic too. If we choose and ask for
digital promotion and advertising material from the design team to this
stations, I think we can share with the MKTG team as a green solution, and
promote it as paperless, "FOSS protecting the trees" thought - and have
them as slides/pictures set easily in the idle state of the screensaver.
One thing is sure: I will wait out till my Orange Pi Zero with the blue-ish
plexiglas arrives, I hope that I can include led stripe for progressbar and
lighting Fedora logo on plexi - and hack it together. Something like -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MysCLdE6-dI where the bottom part hides the
electronics...
Please leave comments, feedback if you feel so, and let's improve this
initiate...
Thank you,
Zoltanh721

>> - Standalone online file sharing point, file server, shared coding
>> platform - same downloadable content (Fedora user guide, Fedora digital

>> - Ambassadors digital event box: if give digital flyers, and contents
