I think it's a great idea. In fact, we had discussed doing this before, but it could really use someone to lead the effort and make sure it all happens. (Are you volunteering? :-)) We could easily get quite a few of them on video at Flock and do more by email. Here's one page where the organization began: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Niteshnarayan/ContributorsInterviews I swear we'd also started a list of names of people we'd want to interview, but I can't find that wiki page. The design team started working on some designs: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2012-December/00598... While we're reviving the topic, we agreed to more or less call "November" the anniversary based on this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2003-November/msg0000... Since the precise date and at what point you start measuring (announcement of the Fedora Project, release of FC1, etc.) were debatable. Ruth ----- Original Message ----- | Hello, | I suppose everybody know that : in November, Fedora Core 1has been | released 10 years ago. It's an important day and with 20 versions, it's | a good occasion to celebrate. | | With the French community, we suggested to interview contributors or | personality around the Fedora Project. Is it possible to plan this | operation together ? (not the only French community). Interview in | English with possible translation in another languages. | And every week after the happy birthday, one interview will display. So, | the pleasure will be longer. | | Do you agree with this idea ? It's important to plan now because it's | necessary to have time for interview and translation. | Of course, it must be decided how many interviews, who will be | interviewed and the questions… | | Why interviews ? | Fedora Project is a community project with many contributors and many | people who want to know the activity, future, history or another things | about the Project and these actors. It's a possibility to encourage | vocations and to obtain a and get good coverage. | | I hope this idea will be appreciated by you. | | Regards, | Charles-Antoine Couret — Renault | -- | marketing mailing list | marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org | https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

No problem. ;) | But I can't realize video interview because my speaking English is | very bad (with the listenning...) That's fine. If you can lead organizing, others can help out with interviews and editing the English. | > Here's one page where the organization began: | > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Niteshnarayan/ContributorsInterviews | | Do you want I transfer this page in my personnal page ? If you prefer. ;) Actually, it would be better to get it out of anyone's personal space and put it in the marketing section of the wiki. Ruth
