I'm not sure how release-specific materials would help achieve this
end (once the release is out, it's a bit late to help out with
feature x?)
I guess I agree on that.
We have a lot of pre-existing non-release-specific materials on this
on the wiki that could stand to use improvement and updating
(although Fedora Hubs is, from my POV, the primary effort towards
this goal right now; part of the idea of that is that our team
joining/bootstrap processes vary so wildly across the project that a
system that's a bit more flexible in capturing them for newbies is
going to be better than having mostly out-of-date / non functional
static content.)
+1 to both.

Again, this probably isn't release specific? Unless you're saying
the already-users could use the materials to promote Fedora in their
own context (which is fine, but then the actual reader of the
material doesn't use it - again - so the focus is non-users, not
already-existing users. The existing user's part in this equation is
finding a link to the PDF to print it out.)
Yes, promoting in their own context is exactly what I'm thinking. Helps
someone become the go-to person in their organization for questions
about what's new.

That's where the swag comes in. :) Maria Leonova, who recently
started as an intern on my team, is going to be working within the
Fedora Design team on a long-term effort to clean up our print-ready
swag designs and expand where deemed necessary. (Part of the process
is going to involve interviewing ambassadors to figure out what
kinds of swag are most effective / needed.)
Awesome.
