* About Marketing itself:
"Marketing is the social process by which individuals and groups obtain
what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and
value with others" - Philip Kotler
The process of exchanging products and value has nothing to do with
"monetary units". I'm not quite sure why everyone tries to place $stash
there.
Applying that to Fedora, Marketing should realize on what Fedora users
want and provide them a product (Fedora Linux) that meets their needs.
This will conduct to a recognition of Value on Fedora Linux (product) by
our users.
I'm really not sure that is how I would do the translation to Fedora
in this case. For most Fedora users the "product" is largely a gift
where nothing is exchanged. To see a real exchange we need to look at
Fedora contributors, not Fedora users. When we give the contributors
what they want they give back to the project.
