Hi Giuseppe,
Generally Ambassadors meet together at the events, like FAD (Ambassadors
only), FUDCONs etc... I think marketing contributors, that aren't
ambassador, can join the FUDCONs and the other events.
If you want to join an event see Linux Tag in Berlin that will be held
in the last days of May, there many ambassador, contributors, etc...
will organize conferences, a booth and other activity.
And, for Italian guys, i hope to meet together at the end of July, or in
the first days in September, with the participation of all Italian
Fedora contributors (like translator, developer etc...)
Is ok?
Thank you
Francesco Ugolini

We have started http://www.frappr.com/fedora in the past. Perhaps we
should be focusing on that effort.
I see it's an idea from ubuntu :) http://ubuntucounter.org/

What language will be spoken at Linux Tag? Their site is in German only
(at least I have not found anything else..). And I am afraid my German

It's a German related event, but many other Europeans join the event,
it's just the biggest event in Europe ( bigger than FOSDEM, that is, at
the end, an European one, but it's smaller than Linux Tag).

Message-ID: <1172775351.4651.451.camel@erato.phig.org>
A recent consensus agrees there are separate topics for
fedora-ambassadors-list and fedora-marketing-list.
To keep messages on-topic, we need to stop cross-posting to the two
lists. There is almost no topic that can be on both lists at the same
time.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostIsOffTopic#fedora-marketing-list
If a post does not match the topic as defined there, it is off topic and
needs to be posted somewhere else.
I wanted to call this out in particular so people understand why their
post receives a link to PostIsOffTopic. :)

Hi
"The Red Hat-sponsored Fedora project is undergoing several changes
before the release of its next version. In preparation for Fedora 7,
which will fuse the Core and Extra software repositories, Fedora's
developers are auditing the repositories for non-free and non-open
software that doesn't meet the project's guidelines. Eventually, the
project may change its package guidelines to only allow Free Software."

Well, Frappr seems to require Flash that gnash-plugin can't handle, so
might not be the best counter for Fedora users (since we believe in
freedom, and the Flash player macromedia provide, is binary only, and
worse, i386 only)

Hi
"When it comes to the virtualization possibilities with Fedora 7,
developers have hit the head on the nail. The virt-manager and libvirt
improvements to allow for QEMU and KVM are phenomenal! We have truly
been blown away by the integration of QEMU/KVM in Fedora 7, and are very
excited to see how everything will come together in time for its May
release. Fedora 7 has the best possibilities for KVM virtualization that
we have seen from all Linux distributions to date. We had run into no
problems during the virtualization process and are extremely pleased
with what we had seen today."

sound feels "accelerated" in mplayer and totem (rawhide). Does it play
correctly on previous Fedora releases ?
(and mplayer crashes if you keep going forward till the end of the file)

This seems completely unrelated to what I posted. Mplayer is not in
Fedora repository. Totem does work fine in all the current Fedora
releases. If you want to discuss issues in development, post to
fedora-test list instead.

Subject: Self introduction about Robert Scheck
Message-ID: <20070305210053.GA10073@hurricane.linuxnetz.de>
Hello folks,
my name is Scheck, Robert Scheck. Currently, I'm 21 years old and I'm from
Germany. Maybe you know my name from Bugzilla reports after updating my
development system to Fedora Core Development, anciently called Rawhide.
I'm also writing some e-mails from time to time to fedora-devel-list and
fedora-extras-list.
Professionally, I'm a programmer at Linux and ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) environments working for a young and tiny IT company called ETES
GmbH. Some time before I did my apprenticeship to IT specialist field
systems integration at Hewlett-Packard Germany as result of my personal
interest in computers started in December 1998. And in July 2004, I did my
certification as Red Hat Certified Technician - during my apprenticeship,
but paid by me! ;-)
As you surely recognized, I'm more technical related, thus I'm maintainer
for 10 packages in Fedora Extras. Oh, but I'm not a greenhorn regarding the
representation of company, projects and products: At the CeBIT 2003 in
Hannover/Germany I was presenting "wireless clinic" and mobile solutions
for on-site technicians for HP - but on the Microsoft booth while listening
and watching the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server clips and announcements.
It's no joke, even it maybe sounds funny for a Linux guy. Of course I did
the same at the HP booth when switching with colleagues from there...
When thinking about this, it's a good time to repent at the LinuxTag 2007
in Berlin/Germany which is my initial goal as Fedora Ambassador. At first,
I'll mainly support Gerold Kassube and Florian Brand until things for the
days are clarified. Finally I want to say thanks to Gerold, who encouraged
me to walk this way and to get an ambassador.
Greetings,
Robert

Hello Folks
Following up an article in "fedoranews", I would like to strongly
endorse Fedora fully embracing the freedom it talks about.
I've been a little concerned recently why, despite Max Spevik's strong
assertion (see my footer) Fedora doesn't seem to be recognised more
fully as a free distribution. The article and links in "fedoranews"
(http://fedoranews.org/wiki/Fedora_Weekly_News_Issue_79#Linux.com:_Fedora_cleans_its_repositories.2C_considers_move_to_Free_Software)
go a long way to clarifying up my concern.
And, I also believe in given credit where credit is due.
Regards,
Morgan.

Sorry for the double post but this is a partial copy of his email that
link you showed. The 'full' details of all the emails to the
fedora-devel list can be found linked to.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg01006.html
He basically had a bee in his bonnet and it went from there. It seems
more of a rant than anything. I'm truly disappointed in him not
actually helping to fix the problems but just throwing his hands up in
the air and then going off the deep end.
Anyway enough out of me you have the link read the emails and you will
have to form your own opinion.
Cheers,
Marc Wiriadisastra

Message-ID: <45EEA883.70608@fedoraproject.org>
Hi
" As such, it looks like the most interesting delivery of the upcoming
release season will be coming from the Fedora project. The developers
have recently extended their testing cycle by a whole month to include a
fourth test release and the extent of the new features and improvements
in Fedora 7 seems lengthier than those in Ubuntu or Mandriva. The
merging of Core and Extras packages into one massive software
repository, dramatic improvements in boot speeds as well as the yum
package management system, and a new single-CD method of installing
Fedora from a live CD are all excellent improvements. While some of
these features have been available in other distributions, it's nice to
see that the Fedora development team is willing to learn and adopt
successful technologies developed elsewhere. That, combined with their
own innovations, should guarantee a highly interesting Fedora 7 in May
this year"

To be honest ...
this counting is not real!
This can only be a "minimum" of used Systems, because of:
how many users (like me) have a bunch of machines in their LAN and are
using a own mirror?! I for myself have five machines in my LAN and these
are definitly NOT counted ...
MAYBE, maybe ...
we should somehow create a "counting page" with registered user with a
"value" for registration ...
I for myself believe and think this can help us to get better numbers
and knowledge about the existing and Fedora using Machines and Users ...
Just my five cents

Good point Gerold. I'd like to add that there are also numerous
dedicated server & VPS providers who offer Fedora to their clients and
Im sure these are not counted :)

Regardless of who provide the bits, as long as the use the same public

ok, ...
but there is only ONE machine which comes and take the mirror. The
Machines in my LAN are pointed to my own mirror in the LAN and you
cann't count them, because they are not updating by a mirror in the
Internet ...
as far as I know, a adress as 192.168.1.25 with netmask 255.255.255.0 is
not routed or seen in the internet :-)
But you're also right with the mail before ...
the next time I write a e-mail I have to red first (and better) the

I think he was asking if there is a problem with the OGG file or his
player. Since I'm not having any problems with the audio
(totem-mozilla-player running in Firefox, FC 6 updated), then I think
the problem is on your system.

I can agree to all of that, except the Yum thing. I haven't noticed some
Yum speed improvement on my Rawhide system I update every day. Yum is
still very very slow. SmartPM is much faster, but still more buggy than
Yum :-/

The way I see it, better leave Yum mature than tamper with
yet-another-alternative. The main advantage apt has over yum is that it
has been in development way longer than yum, and as such lots of bugs
have already been fixed. I'd say that the Yum team should focus on the
most prominent bugs in the PM before going for speed optimizations. The
worst of the problems right now (IMO) are the ones regarding to:
* Whole transaction stalled when encountering a dependency problem which
cannot be resolved. The consensus amongst users seems to be that the
program should be able to continue with which packages it can update,
and inform (whether a message on the screen or an entry in the log) of
those packages which couldn't be updated/installed and the reasons.
* Problems managing the repositories. It seems that a lot of users have
encountered this problem at one point or another. Yum will refuse to
update the packages' list giving a failed checksum error, and entering
into maddened loop fetching the primary.xml.gz from every single mirror.
The only way I've been able to workaround this problem is by cleaning
the cache. So either Yum should automatically clean the cache upon
transaction end or be done programmatically to avoid this issue, or fix
it in the given case. The problem is that for users who have no idea
what may be happening, Pirut and Pup simply don't respond, and there is
no way to find out what's going on other than running Yum from the
command line.
* Another "problem" many other users complain about is that from time to
time (and even with the "fastestmirror" plug-in installed) yum will
connect to *extremely* slow mirrors (we're talking about mirrors from
which data is fetched @1-2Kb/s), from which large updates (like OOo) are
a nightmare to even think about. I'm not sure why some times this
happens, I've only encountered this "problem" a couple of times my self
(in all the time I've been using Fedora, which is from Yarrow).
* Also the issue of Yum being unable to read the local package list,
which (as the other problems) stalls Yum. This is more dramatic (just as
the mirror primary.xml.gz problem, and mirror looping) when yumupdatesd
is running, because the instance of yumupdatesd renders yum unusable
(Pirut, Pup and yum CLI included) unless the process is stopped. This is
particularly problematic for users who may not have a clue what's going
on, nor how to see what's happening or know how to fix it. In most cases
running "yum clean all" is enough, though I've seen some cases where
manual download of an updated yum package is required (especially in new
FC5 installations, I've seen this thus far in 6 new FC5 installations,
where yum stalls while trying to run 'yum update').
From what I see in Bugzilla pretty much all of these problems have been
reported in one way or another, and for some of these issues, there
doesn't seem to be a clear reason why it even happens (at least I don't
have the slightest idea). However the point of yum and the relevance of
YUM for the distribution, is of extreme relevance and importance, as
(I'd be willing to say) it is if not *the* most, one of the _most_
*important* pieces of software in the distribution, and the one new
users have the most problems with. This renders proper Yum operation
*critical* for Fedora. It's worked fine until now, and it should only
improve and squash whatever bugs remain, then focus on the speed issue.

The comments are regarding the plans. Not what exists right now in

- ClausReheis
- MirjamWaeckerlin
- ThomasCanniot
Here are what has been discussed during yesterday's meeting :
# Fedora European Infrastructure - a swiss bank account (proposed by
JoergSimon) is needed for transparency
* before or after LinuxTag ? - not yet decided
# 214? from CLT by ChitleshGoorah and JoergSimon - first deposit as an
example to follow
# One Polo-shirt model only for Fedora Booth staffs i.e public
shouldn't have this model - GeroldKassube
# For LinuxtagBerlin, new banners need to be made. Old ones aren't uptodate !
# Any ambassador who wants produce swag can use a (already owned)
Fedora id at santafetex - JoergSimon
# LinuxTagBerlin: JoergSimon can produce sails with lightmetall stands
but it will cost. JoergSimon will propose a price next week.
# Executive will possess accountdata and id in shops which will be
useful to produce swags or dvds (proposed by JoergSimon)
# ThomasCanniot - well if you are too create a non profit
organisation, and sell things through a shop, there are no tax at all
normally (or at least in france)
the account(proposed by JoergSimon) must be at the name of someone.
And this person, whoever it may be, can take the money and go away.
Even if it is someone we can have some trust in today. Moreover, if
this person happens to die for example accidently or has financial
problems, banks can take the money to reimbursed its debt

GeroldKassube:
from todays perspective it will have also more success to Fedora as
the basicaly planed event FOSDEM because we will try to have a big
event at LT with a install party,
Fedora will organize
- a troubleshooting contest
- a Fudcon
- the global launch of F7 (directly with a dedicated mirror on LT)
- a booth party
- and last but not least
we will have Max, spot and MikeMcGrath at the booth, at the FUDCon and
in a special workshop with Opensuse
[we will have also a dedicated "team" which meets end of march to
prepare all these things in Karlsruhe
the Team which prepares LT is done by: AndreasRau, ClausReheis,
FlorianBrand, JensKuehnel, ChitleshGoorah, JoergSimon and me
Claus is doing a special kind of massage for signed Attendees of the
LT for a Fedora Donation twice a day
Thanks FrancescoUgolini for chairing that meeting.

Subject: talking points for Fedora 7 release announcement
Message-ID: <1173479058.3935.277.camel@erato.phig.org>
We are going to try something new and exciting for the Fedora 7 release
announcement that is traditionally written in only in English.
The plan is for us to write up a list of "talking points" by
collaborating on fedora-marketing-list (under this thread), and on the
Wiki[1]. Local country/region teams then write up their own
announcement, following a simple process that includes vetting the
quality of the content.
The fedora-fr.org team did this last release on their own, and it had a
good impact. By formalizing it, we make it easier for other teams to
follow suit, and we ensure that the message quality and contents are
similar. The plan is to have Ambassadors lead the effort but work
closely with the language-specific translation (L10N) teams. This is a
good blend of marketing and content experience.
Here is the announcement/RFC to Fedora Ambassadors sent a few weeks ago:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2007-February/msg00314.html
Here is the page where the work is being done:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements
[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements/TalkingPoints
According to the initial schedule, the first draft of the talking points
is 22 March, following feature freeze. Let's get started!

Subject: Dell Linux Survey has Fedora as an option
Message-ID: <45F74D3B.2020807@redhat.com>
Just a note that Fedora is listed on Dell's Linux Survey[1] as an option
for a potential OS to be preinstalled on future Dell hardware. I
encourage people to vote by March 23rd. Hopefully there will be a high
number of votes for Fedora and/or RHEL depending on what people think is
the better choice for Dell to ship. Getting support from a big name
hardware vendor for Fedora or even a Fedora-based distribution such as
RHEL would be really cool for Fedora.
Feel free to forward this on to others.

Reading the comments from the posts below is a bit disheartening.
http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/03/13/7985.aspx#comments
It seems that a lot of people's perception of Fedora is that of an unstable
server centred OS which to me seems contradictory to what it is.
We have a lot of work to do.

Indeed, tiresome to see all the fanboys trying to impose what they feel
is "the best thing" as the standard for the yet-to-see Dell preloaded
Linux distro.
Sure, Fedora had and continues to have (minor) bugs, just like any
distro, but I can't help thinking that much of the anti-Fedora prejudice
is pure hearsay. Have the Fedora-bashers ever used it?
In the end, to a lot of people it doesn't matter what Dell preloads
because they will install their own favourite distribution instead. Yet
much is, theoretically, at stake here. If people, especially those new
to Linux, try it out and buy such a Dell machine, and they like what
they see, they won't uninstall it.
Anyway, we all know it will be either Suse or Ubuntu, unless Red Hat is
going to subsidise Dell a little, which I don't think is their business
model. (?)
If Dell preloads Ubuntu, it will be blob time soon. What has the
Linux/FOSS world gained then?

The nature of the survey almost guarantees that. It's very interesting
to see Fedora as one of the three choices which is based on the earlier
ideastorm user requests. Regardless of some of the comments Fedora
remains very much relevant to a lot of folks.

Yes and perhaps more importantly if Fedora happens to be preloaded you
can move over to anything you want without being struck on binary blobs.

If you are talking about Fedora then subsidising on a Free software
distribution doesn't make much sense. For OEM systems all vendors are
willing to cut down rates to get better volumes.

It is rather disheartening. Linux distributions are (mostly)
cooperating with each other, but some of the users are definitely
doing each other more harm than taking away from Microsoft.

Most of them, probably not. There's the fantasyland of Red Hat being
the next Microsoft (this dates back to even before RHEL's launch).

I commented on the blog, advocating that making Linux drivers
available is more important than what distribution is shipped by
default. Considering Dell just switched their supported Linux
configuration to SLES/D, I do agree with you that they'd probably go
with either SuSE or Ubuntu .. hopefully, if it's the former it's
openSUSE (no silly Microsoft extortion money), and if it's the latter,
we'll still get free drivers.
Dell's computers can normally be configured to use components with
free drivers (e.g. for wireless, you can choose between Dell Wireless
and Intel 3945 -- the latter is *almost* free; for graphics you can
choose b/w Intel and nVidia), so the only two things we need is
1) Linux certification: the hardware works without non-FOSS drivers
2) BIOS updates, etc. are released in a way that they can be applied
without Windows onboard
I made these points on the blog; please add anything else you could think of.

Actually, it's funny
Whatever the hiped distro of the year is, it attracts new users that
defend it with the faith of new converts. Used to be Mandriva, then
Gentoo and now Ubuntu. They all settle down after a while, and don't
need Fedora-bashing to assert themselves.
Witness the very tame messages of this year's Gentooers/Mandrivers.

An animal is a very good idea!!
A modified tux or another animal ??
Animals in use:
elephant = PostgreSQL
dolphin = MySQL
camaleon = Suse
Gnu = Gnu Project
Fish = Bluefish, OpenSsh
Penguin = Linux
Dino = Mozilla
fox = Firefox
bird = Firebird, Thunderbird
We could launch a campaign in the Internet to choose the new Mascot.

Last time when this was discussed (IIRC, around the time the logo was
created) the majority opined a mascot is not needed. Maybe the
ambassadors can change that...
with experience accumulated on the Fedora Art team and policies around
the logo, I have to ask this: what copyright status would have such a
mascot? Usage policies?
If we end with something users/community members will not be allowed to
use at will, then better not have anything.
With those being said, I am sure the Art Team would have a lot of fun
being involved in such a project.

Using a hat is absolutely forbidden and we can't do anything about that.
Sure, if we select a cute animal and users are free to make
modifications of it, probably some of them will add hats on their own
(nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
And about a Tux - I think we want something more personal, Tux with a
small emblem look too much like 10 years ago...

I dislike the idea of Tux.
I think that new mascot will be best then other modification of tux.
We can propose to fedora artwork to make some examples then choose the best
:)

Agreed, no Penguin please.
Fedora is more than Linux.
The mascot I personally like most is OpenBSD's blowfish.
But I don' t think anyone can come up with something great for Fedora on
command.
These things happen spontaneously.
If one really needs a mascot animal..
let's see.. no hats allowed, no penguin (too dull)..
How about a cool icebear with sunglasses and a baseball cap?

we should choose "the king" of the animals, ...
as our project should be in the "Distribution:World" ...
the LION!
all his attributes are also matching to the "Fedora Project" :-)
powerfull, charming, elegant and last but not least also majestic!

Hello,
Are not Lions also lazy animals ? :-D
I think our mascot should also seem sympathic, as the Fedora community...
While I won't vote for a penguin, I think an animal is a very good idea :)

Well, nothing wrong with ambitions.

See the Pardus logo, I like that. I think it's not a lion though.

And lazy, arrogant, letting the women do all the work, and killing a
female's existing offspring to seduce her into mating? ;)

No no no.. Quite obviously the mascot should either be the most
courageous and noble of all beasts, the goat :
http://www.chrisharris.com/gallery/g-goat.html
Or the most viscous and savage of all dogs, one of the 14 closest known
relatives to the original wolf, the Shih Tzu (grrr!) :

Because cats are evil.
Honestly though, how about :
* The dolphin? Everybody loves them, and they are social, intelligent,
and tasty.
* The tortoise, a wonder of evolution.
Or my favourite option...
* Platypus - The greatest animal on the planet, built up from many small
strange parts you can find elsewhere in nature. The most bizarre animal
around, and at the same time perfectly suited to the environment in
which it lives.

Please, *focus*. Do not vote on what animal the mascot should be, but
instead *if* a mascot will be used or not.
For reference go back to
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-June/thread.html
and read the huge thread starting with "Cool Fedora schwag idea" and
ending in "Logos: everybody wants one but nobody seems to have any
constructive comments"
There a lot of ways to get a cool mascot, but let's decide first if we
will have one or not, we got already a lot of cold showers to start very
enthusiastically on a new initiative.

Opps sorry, got into the thread waay too late it seems. In my defence
though a vote for a goat is a vote of a mascot (which could be the
slogan for the "Goat for FC mascot" campaign..)
A logo is a must, and we have a good one already.. A mascot is nice,
people like mascots, but there are arguments against having one, such as
they are cheesy, or gimmicky.
Here are some arguments against a masocot made on meta wiki
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_mascot#No_mascot.2C_please.21) :
"Mascots have an inherent playfulness in them that is fine for most
projects, but dangerous ground for an encylcopedia" - In this case an
OS..
"mascot serves no purpose/an animal popular or recognizable in one
culture may be tabboo, feared or unrecognized in another." - True.
But the vastly overwhelming response is people do want a mascot, which
is fine, but does it actually help the project, or the marketing of that
project. No. It does not. It doesn't help the project, and the marketing
should be about evangelising the technical merits, or the benefits of
open source.
There is one place a mascot helps though, and that is mind-share, it
gives people something a little tangible to associate with.
So at the very least we need an un-official mascot so that our local
Zoos can nick-name a goat "Fedora", and techs can have something on the
back of their T-shirts for proud display (snarling horned goat staring
you down and so on).
It will also give FC loving sites a plush toy to sell for revenue.

IMHO a mascot is a good way to attract new users and break our techie-only
image. I won't comment on the timing and cold showers part.

The thread was so huge, it continued in the next month:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-July/thread.html
And yet one more month later we talked even concrete images (dogs,
chemical elements. etc.):

A Goat stands for LiveJournal, which is a FOSS project, and a well
recognised logo anyway.
How about a plant?

My personal point of view based on my experience in the Art Team: a
mascot could allow us to create a lot of unofficial graphics which a lot
of users may love and use.
Yes, any of us can do cute graphics using his own imagery and publish
them in his own channels (and some already do that), but having a mascot
agreed by everyone could allow a concerted effort and higher visibility.

I'm a newcomer to all this but I'll throw in two cents anyway. Been on
Fedora some two months now so my view is as a relative newbie, lots of
computer experience but not a "geek" or "power user".
In my past career I was responsible for a technical product that was the
best. Even our competition did not argue. But being the best is not
enough. You must still "sell" your product. An important part of selling
is making the potential customer feel comfortable with you, with the
product, and with your company.
Having said that.....
One of you said something about the "techie image". I think that comment
was right on target. Website needs to be "softened" (see Ubuntu
site:...people...working together).
Maybe a formal mascot is not necessay. There are possible pitfalls with
use of mascot. Maybe reworking the website a bit to make it more friendly
could be helped by using small "unofficial" images of "possible mascots"
as place markers. Maybe one of the images will become popular.
By the way. People don't think much of goats in US. Unfortunately, an
athlete who goofs up at the wrong time is called a "goat"; the guy who
lost the game for the team.
I like dolphins though. Don't know of any bad thoughts about dolphins.
Intelligence, speed, freedom, good attitude all come to mind. And it would
be easy to work dolphins into the existing Fedora blue colors.
Mascots (or at least "organic" images) connote "warm & fuzzy". Fedora
could use some warm & fuzzy.

Dolphins and tuxes have been used and abused
I like the goat idea. Saw a feral one happily nursing a kid at noon in the
Australian bush (50?C). Impressive

You were obviously taking a break to see that. Every time I see one of them
its generally me going past at 110km/h and with the aircon turned up.
-1 to the goat +1 to something relating to a mascot not sure what yet
nothing has 'jumped' out.

Before the entire animal kingdom is passing by, does anyone have an idea
of the kind of procedures such ideas should be going through, with the
fedora art team and all? There's no democracy in designish/artistic
taste.
Before it is taken too seriously, let's contact a few artistic types to
see how they feel and what things they've been coming up with. I have
the feeling there are quite competent artists in the fedora art team.
Or else, post a few links with drawings, sketches, suggestions, people
have already made. Otherwise, it is getting quite meaningless.

I started a talk on the Art list [1] about this. Will think a bit about
it, consult with other members of the community and lay down a plan in
the wiki (with rules and dates).
As a start, here is how I think a mascot should be:
- Free, so it can be used without any restriction (not even trademarks);
- lovable, this is the purpose of a mascot;
- produced by the community, it should not be someone's baby but our
community's baby.
I am very confident the Art Team can reach a sensible result, please
participate in the process.

I remember the puppy idea was highly circulated in 2005 when we talked
the last time about a mascot. And now with the god in the pup icon not
uses in the distro anywhere, probably we can use that.
But, pretty please, can we talk implementation details on the Art list?

I see my sarcasm went completely unnoticed. So here:
How about a puppy wearing a blue fedora hat?
Seriously, this stuff was all discussed and -- I thougt -- resolved a
long time ago. We have a logo, and that is it. The logo as it exists
now should be used whenever Fedora is mentioned, not some additional
imagery that will end up diluting the whole image.

Too bad, I can't see your proposal because your website is being
migrated.
OK, here is my 2 cents about a mascot.
I think that we also have to think about one thing : we already have a
nice logo. Take for example Firefox and its logo. The animal is a part
of the logo itself, and so it is for the other examples (MySQL,
SUSE...). As the animal is part of the logo, adopting an animal, would
make us change the logo to add the animal in it or around the Fedora
brand.
Here is my proposal : how to mix our logo with an animal and to add
meaning to both of them at the same time.
The animal, well the insect I suggest, is a bee.
Why a bee ? Because it is maybe the only insect who has in charge the
reproduction process of flowers, by spreading pollen. Lets compare
flowers to Linux Distributions then, and pollen to technology in
general. Isn't Fedora the most bleeding edge distribution which sees
most of its technologies spread among the free and open source world,
i.e. Linux distributions ?
OK, now, how to mix a bee and our present logo ? I definitely see a bee
with Fedora logo wings. How beautiful would it be to make the Voice of
the Community with the Infinite Symbol fly in the sky, and taking
altitude, helping the bee (Fedora) to spread technology (pollen) among
flowers (distributions) !
Cheers !

An animal is a very good idea!!
A modified tux or another animal ??
I agree with the idea of the animal but no tux,no more tux please.....
Animals in use:
elephant = PostgreSQL
dolphin = MySQL
camaleon = Suse
Gnu = Gnu Project
Fish = Bluefish, OpenSsh
Penguin = Linux
Dino = Mozilla
fox = Firefox
bird = Firebird, Thunderbird
We could launch a campaign in the Internet to choose the new Mascot.

discussion was just closed). We can continue talking about dolphins,
horse etc... but we have just our point of reference, discuss just a
year ago.
I will work to create a wiki page with all marketing closed item, one of
this is Fedora Logo (that, at the end, represents our project, like BSD
logo, MySql etc...), in fact we chose the infinite logo as our own logo,
as other projects chose animal, symbol, signs etc...

/me shrugs.
If the Fedora community wants a mascot that they can use independently of
the Fedora Logo -- which is Trademarked And Thus Unavailable For Free
Usage -- I have no problem watching them try.
The official mark is clearly a settled question. But the beauty of
unofficial marks is just that; they are unofficial.

I'm still digging the goat because it's sort of like the Gnu
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildebeest).
They live in almost any environment, in harsh conditions, they are
sturdy and reliable, eat anything, and have horns.
The best argument against so far was that it is already the mascot for
LiveJournal : http://www.livejournal.com/site/goat.bml
Wonder if we can share ;)
If not, the obviously the platypus is the best animal :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus
Go on, I dare you to show me a more mixed up mammal.

Already taken, it's the mascot for Darwin, the actual OS of MacOS X
(MacOS X without Quartz and Aqua)

Isn't that kind of an oxymoron? I mean, Fedora is named *after* a hat,
"losing the hat" is like losing the identity (or rendering the word
meaningless, hence the quest for a new identity, found in the
Speech+Infinite+Freedom Fedora logo we now have), I suppose the "no Hats
allowed" rule comes straight from Red Hat and "marketing confusion/brand
recognition" if a hat was used by Fedora (not to say the perpetuation of
the stigma that Fedora is Red Hat's playground)... Just found this fact
to be kind of... contradictory. Alas a name change at this point (about
the 7th release) is [completely] out of the question.

Since Logos are directly related to branding, their terms of use are
rather stiff. Instead, and I take Tux as example, a mascot gives more
liberty to the users (as long as the terms of use say that) to use and
modify as long as the essence is preserved. Gives the users the chance
to do things with it, play with it (after all, that's what we humans
have mascots in real life, and that's pretty much their definition also,
as they're not animals to perform any specific task, but rather to keep
us company and to play with)... I don't mind not adopting a mascot
(though I'd prefer that) and just stick to the Logo, but I really like
the *freedom* a mascot would bring for custom *redistributable* graphics
and such.

White Tiger is very beautiful and Blue Arara (Parrot) is a good idea...
Fedora is BLUE.
A blue animal is the best way!

Maybe, but that's the way it is going to be.
Please refer to the list archives (previously linked to) for an *extensive*
discussion of this. I don't think we need to discuss it again, since
nothing has changed.

Since you wanted to be involved in coordinating news to the press as you
indicated earlier on the offlist mail I would describe what I had in mind.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SpreadingNews
If you look at the above page there is a list of press outlets that we
would like to reach to when we have events of interest within Fedora
which might as big as a new release or a major milestone. Currently we
would have to send it manually. What would be useful is to have a single
place where we can feed in this information and get a automated way to
send it out to every relevant website via different mechanisms like a
submit API, form fill or even a email address.
Would you be interested in creating a infrastructure for that or
alternatively acting as a gateway and sending the info manually?

Additionally, this is the wrong forum to vote. We can set up polls if
need be on fp.o, etc. but restricting the vote to only this list seems
unfair to all the contributors and users we have who may not be
subscribed here who might have a say in the mascot of the community project.

will have a look at these sites and think about some way i could automate

Voting... meh.
Vote by doing something. If you like a particular mascot, send it to
everyone you know.
If we end up with an "official" mascot that The Proletariat Voted Upon For
The Good Of The Community, I don't know that we're any better off.

Quick opinion from a newbie (3 months) here.
Maybe compromise is to add a picture to the site home page to warm to it
up a bit.
Would need to be "OK'd" but maybe not formally "approved" as anything more
than just art.
Change it every week or so. Maybe one will become popular.
Also: Did someone say; "No hats!"? There is a blue hat in the header of
the forum page.

I assume you are referring to fedoraforum.org, which has no affiliation with
the Fedora Project, and is free to use whatever graphics they feel they can
legally get away with.

www.fedoraforum.org is not the "official" forum for Fedora (though many
of us use it quite extensively), the site is not endorsed by, supported
by, approved by or anything-else-by Red Hat nor the Fedora Foundation.
If there was a problem with that fact, I'm sure Red Hat and Fedora
people will let the site administrators know and ask them to remove the
image (if need be)

I undestand that it must be annoying to go through the same discussion
again and again. On the other side, there is a high interest in the
subject and it may be worth to be rediscussed. In order not to redo
the same old arguments for or against a mascot and to avoid that
several people have to read through a hundred emails it woud be very
useful if someone who discussed this subject last year could make a
wikipage with the major arguments and why in the end the decision was
made against the mascot so that we can move on from this point.

This is the Art team making some initial steps.
Even if we don't get a mascot in the end, we at least spend some quality
time doing what we like (drawing). It can't see any harm in it.

Inkscape (with the calligraphic tool) and a Wacom tablet (the tablet is
not required, you can use just a mouse). But that is only a rough sketch.

Yes, is one of the basic tools in Inkscape, along with freehand lines
and bezier curves.
Start Inkscape and go in the menu to Help > Tutorials > Inkscape:

Me neither, I'm glad that the Art Team is doing so. What I wanted to
say was that we're "just" talking - I like the principle of getting
things done immediately.

Did you read the mails I quoted? Counting the number of people who
agree with a given point is a vote or poll. Whether it was sanctioned
is not relevant to the fact that at least one person was collecting
votes for a given proposal.

Goats are rather well known in America for being trash eaters. They have
a propensity to go stiff-legged and faint whenever startled. Also, all
goats are infested with stomach worms.
I think the frog would be a much better mascot. They live in virtually
all parts of the world, come in many colorful varieties, are versatile
(they can live in the water and on land), and easily recognized.
Of course I'm biased here, but I think a frog would make an awesome
mascot. :)

I think that we're limiting ourselves unnecessarily to actual animals.
I propose munging some animals together to see what we get. I'm a big fan
of the Fedora bear-walrus myself. Chester the Fedora Bear-Walrus.

Currently Fedora News Project[1] is looking for two or more writers
for up-coming-issue of Fedora Weekly News.
Selected writers are expected to pick out the several major topics
discussed in that week from following mailing lists and summarized
them in a few paragraph.:
* Development Section: fedora-devel-list, fedora-extras-list and
fedora-maintainers-list
* Documentation Section: fedora-docs-list
* Events and Meetings: fedora-ambassadors-list and fedora-marketing-list
These paragraphs will be edited by our editors and eventually
published in our next issue of Fedora Weekly News.
If you're interested in this project, please contact me as soon as possible.
