because Telegram has nothing to do with Marketing, and is not
officially supported by Fedora. This would be the topic for discussion
that I would like to have (have had with Brian a few times) -
providing a little bit more help to user-communities.
Telegram, even unsupported,
should definitely be considered by our
Marketing group. For if we know of an active channel we should be
considering its impact. We may also want to, perhaps for marketing
reasons, perhaps for reasons you are outlining, consider adding
additional official channels.
I see regular user as a non-contributor. When talking about user-
communities (such as Telegram, reddit, ...) I mean a community that is
not oriented to contributing to Fedora and is simply a bunch of Fedora
users who frequent this or that network of their choice and would like
to chat about their favorite Linux distribution.
Fedora's placement on the
adoption curve means that our target market
tends to be early adopter-like individuals. These folks are often in
need of support that is more specialized than that needed by a non-
contributing average user (even if that user is a skilled engineer).
I believe you can create a more tailored definition about who you are
trying to target and how you plan to help them. From that we can
consider the idea. Your "regular user" as defined above includes
gourmet chefs and rocket scientists. They have two different sets of
needs. How do you plan to serve them?
Following from the last sentence above, if this is just an affinity
group of people who want to chat about Linux distributions, even if they
specifically want to chat about Fedora, how does what your proposing go
beyond what we do now officially?

bex
