Thanks. This article shows a couple of thoughts, some of them might be catastrophic, and segmenting the market isn't a bad thing, in corporate business it's most likely the best strategy, and it can and should be used also on projects like this one. It's probably sad to point this example, but look at what Canonical is doing. They segmented the market in a attractive way and they are starting to collect from it (not that others don't do it, but they do it in a more shy way).
Looks like we have a challenge :)
I'm gonna keep lurking for some more time and try to get inside the Fedora mentality and hopefully might help in the near future, once I'm relived from other ongoing projects.
From what I could understand, two goals to reach:
- Increase the number of Fedora users - Increase the number of Fedora contributors
If this is correct, within up to a month, I'm gonna submit a small paper for review on this list with a small strategy on how we might accomplish that.
Thanks for all who have contributed pointing good sources of information on my quest for data.
Nelson.

Hi all, I would like to ask something from this list to help me understand a bit more of Fedora. I am new to the list, and I'm currently trying to assimilate more information through the Fedora Project wiki before I can contribute. This is important for me to know. - How does Fedora positions itself amongst other distributions. What values do we try to transmit, what image should be presented to the users (new and current). - How is differentiation presented in communication. - What is main segment we trying to reach. - What is the role of productivity in Fedora communication. - What are the main goals at a short term (1 year). Thanks in advance, Nelson.
