Hello Fedora Marketing!

Hi! My name's Colby Hoke, you can call me choke - that's how most people remember me anyway. I wanted to introduce myself to you all. I'm a Red Hat employee and work on a lot of the videos you'll see on Red Hat Magazine. I've done a lot of the work on the last 3 videos promoting Fedora and getting a good consistent "feel" for what a Fedora promo looks like. (They're the ones with the archival footage, if you've seen them.) Anyway, I'm a former Computer Science student at NC State University, but I switched into Film Studies my junior year and really got into editing, color correction, and compositing. I'm a big supporter of digital rights and Creative Commons. As far as Fedora goes, I recently got into video editing in open source environments and am helping test a version of Kino that we can roll into the Fedora repo. Once that's done, I hope to roll a "designer" version of Fedora that includes all the usual suspects (Inkscape, GIMP, etc) so that someone can make a video, add graphics, 3D, whatever, and then render it to an ogg for everyone to see. Anyway, enough about that. If anyone has any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them. And... it's wonderful to be on the list. -- Colby A. Hoke Corporate Marketing [ Producer ] 919.621.8802
