This is mainly how I see it. There was once a workshop with
Nicklodeon's
Marketing Director. He was explaining how he got kidnapped by alliens
and how he learned their numbers. He was making the symbols and telling
us what those numbers where. No one made a damn clue about it and
everyone was thinking that he was a looney. Eventually he pops out with
"out of the box" and soon enough everyone was enlightened. This was a
very amusing experience. This to say, that sometimes we need to think
"out of the box". But most of us are just twisted by our day to day
life. For example, a kid you know around 10 years or a bit older. Give
him a Fedora DVD, explain him what it is (in words he can understand)
and try to get him to say what if he got something that you can consider
as a trade (at 10 he will never become a fedora contributor). But it is
a trade.

I use AdWords for my company. I will never buy others peoples brand
names as a mean to spread my reach. Basically because I hate when
others do that.
I will love to see sponsoring links from Fedora.
I think is something really different from what we have done. But I
also think that to get other peoples "buying" this idea we need less
words. As most of us have lives beyond Fedora, when I reach an email
two screen long, I don't read it properly. Sorry, I just can't. Those
emails make me feel depress, takes out the fifth F of Fedora = FUN. I
automatically switch to skim-reading-mode, scroll down fast to the end
and move the message out of my inbox. I am not "alien" to market
ideas, I felt more like a "10 yeard old kid" with a short span
attention ... less words, less "old-man-battle-tales"... as a kid, I
need something short and fun to keep reading.
