We often get inquiries from magazines asking for permission to bundle one
or more Fedora discs with a future issue. This is a fairly routine
process as long as the disc is an unmodified copy of Fedora media (i.e. an
official release). Some interaction with Red Hat Legal is required to
send out an agreement to the magazine.
We can speed up that interaction and the overall process if we have a page
that tells magazines what they need to provide, and to whom, for a
covermount agreement. Generally we need the following information, sent
to the ''press(a)fp.o'' address:
* The name (d/b/a) and address of the company producing the magazine
* The exact disc(s) that are to be bundled
* Contact information for the person making the request

I had suggested this earlier to Robyn -- a press blog entry for Red Hat's
PR channel (http://press.redhat.com) that would synopsize and point to our
interview on the wiki. However, Robyn's pretty busy right now. Kara
Schiltz from Red Hat's PR department is willing to publish something next
week.
I'm going to pick this up and drive it forward, my way of helping this
week on something Marketing related!

Hi,
Could we have a press-release for FUDCon KL 2012 which is happening this
May?. We are planning to distribute it to local newspapers and news sites.
We are originally planning to produce our own but FPL said that marketing
might want to do and approve it.
In term of dateline, .. erm .. is 27th March too short?, or more than
enough?. The earlier the better of course
Thanks.

Coordination in social networks
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
the test season starts and our goal for this release is to get more
participants in test days. Social networks are a really good place to
spread the word about our test days. Unfortunately, Fedora
pages/accounts in social networks are not in a good shape.
Facebook - several pages, which one is official and who is its admin?
Google+ - no one has posted there since May, admin?
Twitter - the only account that gets new posts regularly
Identi.ca - the account "Fedora Users" is there, but no posts
There are tens of thousands people subscripted to our accounts. That's
not few and we should leverage it.
It'd be great to have a social media coordinator who'd make sure that
all important information gets posted at all social networks we're in,
and also persons responsible for individual social networks.
I'm sorry if I'm talking about something that has already been discussed
at weekly meetings. I can't attend them. Thursday evening is a really
bad time for me and I already spend two evenings a week at Fedora
meetings, another would kill me.

Draft of Fedora Java Marketing Brief
by Dan Allen
As promised, I have drafted a marketing brief* about Fedora Java. "Fedora
Java" is about making Fedora the preferred environment of choice for Java
and JVM platform development.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java/Fedora_Java_Marketing_Brief
Here's the TL;DR:
* Java is one of the most popular languages (#2 @ Tiobe Index, #5 @ github,
#1 @ sourceforge)
* ~ 8 million Java developers
* JVM supports many other languages, which means even more developers
* < 1% of these developers use Fedora
* Fedora Java SIG has made creating Java packages easy, consistent w/
packaging guidelines
* Fedora has the latest and most popular stuff on the JVM platform,
including Java 7 (OpenJDK), Eclipse 4.2, Maven 3, JBoss AS 7, Tomcat 7 and
JBoss Tools
* A Fedora Java Spin is in the works (currently a Fedora Remix)
* Fedora should be the operating system of choice for JVM platform
developers!
There have been huge strides made recently in the Fedora Java story, as I
cover in the brief. That's why I think this is a good storyline to
pursue when marketing Fedora 18. I think it can help attract a lot of
developers to Fedora and in return, those developers will hit the ground
running with this comprehensive development stack.
-Dan
* or what I think is a marketing brief :)
