At FUDCon, one of the things that I loved was hearing peoples' stories
of how they got involved with Fedora. Could it be a good marketing
campaign (aiming to attract new contributors) to collect and publish
these somewhere? Maybe this could somehow be related to Mairin's "I am
Fedora" videos as well.

By the way, does the marketing team usually work on specific campaigns
(with specific goals and targets)? Would this be a good way to organize
marketing work better?

What do you think?

I think it's a great idea. Nothing like hearing from passionate guys to raise passion on others. Making videos would definitely be a way to go.

One thing I think is missing is a way, a channel, to reach common people, simple users, not just people working with Fedora Project. I find Read Hat Magazine a great idea, and such a light approach to market and be in touch with simple end users. Posting such videos there from time to time would certainly make lists like this bigger =)

*Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I recall seeing a discussion of 'User Stories' back a few months.* There seemed to be very little response, but hey, its worth trying again I suppose.


Here's the thread I found on the mailing list:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-April/msg00059.html



And I did a quick search on the wiki and found this:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UserTestimonials

Hope these things help.


Cheers,

I personally don't find the Fedora wiki well structured enough for a "outsider" to nagivate smoothly. Before collecting any story we should think about how/where to publish them. Again, I think a Red Hat Magazine approach would be much more effective.

That's user stories tho not contributor stories. Contributor stories
might be easier to get.

That's exactly what I mentioned when the idea was born during a talk
with Ricky yesterday @ #fedora-websites. We don't have a way yet to
communicate with a normal Fedora user excepts of events. You can hardly
ever see any info about Fedora on the Internet, excluding new releases
and mainly some statistics. Ricky's idea about such campaign(s) could be
a perfect way to reach an average user.

Yeah, maybe we could publish it @ www.redhatmagazine.com, but we have to
talk with guys like Paul W. Frields I think and ask if something like
that would be possible.

The people at RHM are very nice and I'm sure would be more than
willing to help us out. I've written a few things that they've posted
for me, and I'm sure they'll do the same in the future too

Hopefully though, in the not too distant future we'll have our own
Fedora solution, there's just a few loose ends to iron out and a work
flow to be figured out so that we can pull some of the marketing stuff
together (contributor stories, interviews etc) with FWN - at least
this is what I'm hoping to achieve!

Best,

Jon
