[[Category:Ambassadors from Germany]]</div>Wondererhttps://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Events&diff=251414Events2011-09-01T10:01:12Z<p>Wonderer: /* FY12 Q3 (October 2011 - December 2011) */</p>
<hr />
<div>{{header|events}}<br />
{{autolang|base=yes}}<br />
<br />
The purpose of this page is to build '''a global Fedora events calendar''', and to identify '''responsible Ambassadors''' for each event.<br />
<br />
This page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning.<br />
<br />
Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding.<br />
<br />
Additional information:<br />
* '''[[Reimbursements]] -- reimbursement guidelines.'''<br />
* '''[[FAmSCo_budget|Budget]] -- budget for the current quarter (as distributed by FAMSCo).'''<br />
* '''[[Sponsoring event attendees|Sponsorship]] -- how decisions are made to subsidize travel by community members.'''<br />
* [[How_to_organize_a_Fedora_event|Organization]] -- event organization, budget information, and regional responsibility.<br />
* [[Event reports]] -- guidelines and suggestions.<br />
* [[Linux_Events|Linux events]] -- a collection of calendars of Linux events.<br />
<br />
== North America (NA) ==<br />
'''NOTE''': Please do not remove events from the list until the end of the quarter. This helps planning for following quarters.<br />

<div>'''Upcoming Classes'''<br />
<br />
These are the classes that are scheduled currently. Make sure and check the UTC time and date for the class you wish to attend.<br />
<br />
Find out your [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html local time].<br />
<br />
<!-- Please leave an example line if you are removing the last remaining class so others can follow the same format --><br />

<br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
The Fedora Classroom is a project to teach interested users of Fedora how to better use, understand and manage their Distribution. Currently, All classes are held on IRC in the '''#fedora-classroom''' on irc.freenode.net. If you are not familiar with IRC, see [[Communicate/IRCHowTo | the Fedora IRC HowTo ]]. <br />
<br />
If there is a session you would like to see, please suggest it and we'll do our best to accommodate the request.<br />
<br />
=== Mailing list ===<br />
<br />
For discussion and feedback or to sign up to teach a class, use the Classroom mailing list at: <br />
<br />
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/classroom<br />
<br />
=== Help wanted ===<br />
<br />
If you would like to help out the Fedora Classroom effort, we are currently looking for assistance in several areas. <br />
Please see the [[ Classroom Help Wanted ]] Page.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom etiquette ===<br />
The purpose of the classroom is to provide instruction about a specific topic. As such, it is beneficial for classroom sessions to adhere to a certain standard. Please try to adhere to the following during sessions:<br />
<br />
* Keep in mind that classroom sessions may be logged<br />
* Adhere to teacher instructions regarding questions and input<br />
* Avoid unnecessary actions, nick changes and away messages<br />
* Avoid off-topic conversation<br />
<br />
The point is to help maintain a classroom environment that promotes learning while avoiding extraneous content.<br />
<br />
=== Teaching a class ===<br />
<br />
If you would like to teach a class on any Fedora related topic, please mail an introduction of yourself and outline of your proposed class to the classroom mailing list. Some things to keep in mind: <br />
<br />
* '''We recommend sessions be approximately 90 minutes''' This allows for an hour long session and enough time for questions and answers. <br />
* Make sure you know your subject and know where to point students who wish more detailed information. <br />
* Note at the beginning of your class if you would like students to ask questions as you go, or would prefer them to wait until the end. <br />
* Remember that typing is slower than talking in front of a class or speaking on a phone call, so keep in mind you will not cover as much on IRC. <br />
<br />
(Note: Check out [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html?year=2008&month=12&day=6&p1=195&p2=179&p3=1038&p4=47 The World Clock Meeting Planner] for time zone syncing.)<br />
<br />
==== Suggest a class ====<br />

=== devrooms ===<br />
Below you can find the list of accepted devrooms, also on http://fosdem.org/2011/news/accepted-devrooms<br />
<br />
We were very pleased with the devroom proposals we received, as many were collaborative proposals with ample opportunity for cross-pollination between projects. As a side effect, this did make the decision process even harder.<br />
<br />
We asked the devroom organizers to send a copy of their call for papers to this mailinglist, and in the near future we will collect the different calls on our website.<br />
<br />
<br />
Following devroom requests were accepted, and will have a room of varying size on Saturday or Sunday:<br />
* Accessibility<br />
The goal is to talk about and focus on accessibility across multiple distinct technologies and open source projects.<br />
* BSD<br />
The most notable Berkeley Software Distributions are perhaps the major open source BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD) which have themselves spawned a number of children. FreeBSD-kernel is also used in Linux projects like Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.<br />
* Configuration/Systems Management<br />
Mini-talks from real world case studies, brainstorming and hacking around configuration and systems management from complex virtual environments and cloud computing to desktops and laptops.<br />
* Crossdesktop<br />
The "CrossDesktop" developer room is a collaboration across KDE, GNOME and XFCE to host talks about common topics, freedesktop.org as well as interoperability.<br />
* Data Analytics<br />
Open Source tools for Data Analytics. This includes Machine Learning, Text Mining and Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Recommender Engines, Visualisation, Data Mining, Large Scale and distributed data processing, etc.<br />
* Distribution Miniconf<br />
As last year, the idea is that rather than having several distributions with their own respective and individual Developer Room, we will host mixed conference rooms where talks and sessions will be organized by topic, with contributors from all distributions attending and participating.<br />
* Embedded<br />
Focus on working with embedded systems, cross-compiling, low memory footprints and all that is related to running open-source software on low power or mobile devices.<br />
* Free Java<br />
With JDK 7 due to make an appearance, our goal is to provide a venue for the developers and users of the Free Java projects to collaborate and discuss on a range of topics from virtual machines through to deployment on FOSS operating systems.<br />
* GNU<br />
The goal is to promote discussion on the advancement of the GNU coding standards and maintainers guidelines as well as the packages implementing them, and strengthen the community of maintainers and developers.<br />
* Jabber/XMPP<br />
The Jabber/XMPP devroom brings together developers of XMPP-using applications. The room will be used for presentations and tutorials on the protocol itself as well as specific projects, hacking on XMPP projects and protocol development discussions.<br />
* LibreOffice<br />
Our goals is to present ourselves and collaborate on development topics, introduce the idea of the Foundation and make one more important step towards open and transparent processes.<br />
* Mono<br />
Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications. We feel that by embracing the successful, standardized .NET software platform, we can lower the barriers to producing great applications for Linux.<br />
* Mozilla<br />
Contributors and staff of the Mozilla Project will give presentations and lead discussions on different areas of the project, notably, the latest version of Firefox, hacks.mozilla.org, HTML5 demos, Jetpack Development, SeaMonkey etc...<br />
* MySQL & friends<br />
Talks and discussions related to the MySQL Server Ecosystem. We'd like to cover sessions about best practices (e.g. performance tuning, scaling, high availability) as well as introductions into related technologies and projects.<br />
* New challenges in Virtualization<br />
There are several projects related to virtualization and the many open problems it poses. This devroom aims to be a meeting point where developers of these projects can meet to reinforce their cooperation.<br />
* Open Source Telephony<br />
The purpose of this devroom is promote cross pollination between projects in the telephony space. There are a good number of open source telephony projects out there and their goals may differ, but they all have certain values in mind, such as standards and interoperability.<br />
* Perl<br />
We are going to organize presentations and hacking sessions on a number of Perl related open source projects such as Dancer, Mojolicious, Rakudo and Padre, as well as other Perl related projects such as Perl DBI and MongoDB.<br />
* PostgreSQL<br />
FOSDEM is the second most important conference for the European PostgreSQL community (after our own PGDay). The majority of talks will be developer talks, use cases, and PostgreSQL related applications are also welcomed.<br />
* Security / hardware crypto<br />
The goal is to to raise the awareness of OpenSC and smart cards in general. The room targets both "core" PKI related software people, who work on libraries other developers use, and developers of any software supporting private keys.<br />
* World of GNUstep<br />
The goal is to teach interested developers how to write cross platform applications or port Cocoa applications to Linux, BSD and Windows using GNUstep; share news about the latest development and plans on GNUstep; code sprints, hacking, discussing...<br />

<div>'''F14 Release Events are organized by Fedora Ambassadors and Contributors to celebrate the new release.'''<br />
<br />
=== Why join one? ===<br />
<br />
If you are a hobbyist, a student, a developer or a indomitable curious (or both), you will find information on the new release, demos, speeches and, at last but not least, friends ready to answer all your questions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in contributing in Fedora, a Release Event it's the right place to meet contributors and have the possibility to ask them about their experience, and receive help to join our marvellous community! <br />
<br />
Don't know where to start? [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/famsco/2010-September/000363.html Read here].<br />
<br />
If you are still undecided, remember you are invited to take part in a party, with its fun and pleasure sides ;)<br />

<div>Here is a little welcome message / Mail Template with some additional infos for new Members of the Marketing Team / new Contributors ...<br />
<br />
----<br />
Dear new Marketing Team Contributor,<br />
<br />
Thank you for applying to the "Marketing" group in Fedora Account System and to participate.<br />
<br />
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem<br />
<br />
There is no special Membership Process needed, but we would like to give you some short infos so that your way into Fedora Marketing gets easier.<br><br />
<br />
If you are new to the Fedora Project please read thoroughly<br />
<br />
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_be_a_successful_contributor<br />
<br />
As Marketeer you help to find the right words and materials so that others know what to expect from the Fedoraproject. You are a person, friendly and communicative. Fedora is big and scary, but you are going to help make sure that *one person* finds their way through all the confusion into the place where they can contribute. You are the mouthpiece to that. You help connect different people in different parts of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests are different.<br />
In order to maintain a high level of quality in the Marketing group, we ask you to start with some basics starting with:<br />
<br />
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing<br />
<br />
Where you can find all kind of ready prepared Marketing Material, Talking Points, Projects, pressmaterial, etc.<br />
<br />
Following<br />

to create a wikipage that says something about you and your skills.<br><br />
<br />
subscribe to the mailinglist<br />
* https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing<br />
<br />
Some other important Informations!<br><br />
<br />
If you want directly to contribute on the upcoming Release or have some ideas and not knowing how to fill take a look at <br />

<br />
For social Networking take a look at <br />

<br />
Change your first name and last name to Latin letters in the FAS if you filled your name in Cyrillic, Chinese, or other than Latin.<br />
<br />
Read the Mailing Guidelines carefully before you start posting there. <br />
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MailinglistGuidelines<br />
<br />
If you blog about your work as Fedora Contributor, add your blog to Planet Fedora. <br />

<br />
If you were contributing to Fedora before you signed the CLA, remove yourself from the Unlicensed Group for OPL without options.<br />
<br />
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnlicensedGroup<br />
<br><br />
If you have something that you want us to see please send no attachements to the mailinglist, put it somewhere (your fedorapeople account, the wiki, etc.) and pass a link.<br />

'''Zurich, Switzerland :: September 17 - 19, 2010'''<br />
<br />
''The primary owners of this event are [[User:Red|Sandro Mathys]] & [[User:Mmoeller|Marcus Moeller]], with some help and budget from Red Hat's [[Community Architecture]] team.<br />
<br />
== Quick reference ==<br />
<br />
[[FUDCon]] is the '''''Fedora Users and Developer's Conference''''', an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. For a taste of what a FUDCon is like, you can [http://magazine.redhat.com/2009/02/13/video-fudcon-11/ view a video] from a previous FUDCon.<br />
<br />
This year FUDCon EMEA will be proudly hosted by [[FrOSCamp_2010_Zurich|FrOSCamp 2010]] on the premises of the [http://www.ethz.ch/ ETH Zurich]. This goes as far as that the unknowing user might not even be able to separate them as there will be a single agenda for both. Of course FUDCon will have Fedora dedicated rooms and FrOSCamp will have their own rooms - there'll be only one shared keynote room tho. Both events take place in the same building at the same time (no FrOSCamp on Sunday tho) and share lots of resources and hopefully also a part of the audience. Seeing FrOSCamp and FUDCon participants in some sort of productive exchange would be great! After all Fedora is friends with all other major distributions, upstream, downstream and all other projects oriented towards free and open source.<br />
<br />
Even the party on Friday evening is open for everyone from both events. There'll be a FUDPub targeted mainly for the FUDCon audience on Saturday evening, but of course friends are always welcome there too.<br />
<br />
Take a look at our [http://www.facebook.com/pages/FUDCon-Zurich-2010/150887641594048 Facebook] page for regular updates and news as well as stunning pictures from the event.<br />
<br />
'''Survival Guide''': Those planning to attend FUDCon Zurich 2010 might find our [[Media:FUDCon_Zurich_2010_survival_guide.pdf|survival guide]] helpful.<br />
<br />
== Pre-registration ==<br />
* See [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Pre-registration]]<br />
<br />
== Accommodation ==<br />
Everyone is responsible to book a room from our room contingent in our event hotel on their own. Please see [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Accommodation]] for further details.<br />
<br />
== Event details ==<br />
<br />
=== Opening Times ===<br />
Doors open at 09:00 and the programm starts at 10:00 and goes on until 18:00, doors closing at 19:00. But don't think it'll be a boring evening - there's social events planned until midnight and there's always a bar open later on!<br />

| What's the entrance fee? || Entrance to FUDCon (and FrOSCamp) including all talks, workshops and everything else is free of charge. This is also true for Friday's party and Saturday's FUDPub. You'll have to pay for food and drinks tho - the first drink and a snack might get sponsored (TBD).<br />
|-<br />
| What's the currency of Switzerland? Can I use €? || You could pay with EUR in many places in Zurich, but would normally have the worse exchange rate as at a bank. You definitely need CHF at Friday's party. Be aware that Swiss banks are closed during the weekend and close in the early afternoon on Fridays but most ATMs are accessible 24/7 even though there's no ATM at the event location. If you need to exchange foreign cash (during the weekend) you can do so in the main station or at the airport. There's always a fee when exchanging money.<br />
|-<br />
| Do I need cash or do cards the job? || You'll need some cash for Friday's party, to get a quick snack (like a doener kebap just over the street) or in very small shops. Maestro debit cards work in most shops and to get train/tram/bus tickets. Credit cards are mostly accepted in shops and (non-snack) restaurants.<br />
|-<br />
| How about traveller cheques? || Traveller cheques (in CHF, EUR and USD) can be exchanged at most local banks.<br />
|-<br />
| What power plugs/sockets are in use in Switzerland? Will europlug work? || If you have an European 2-pin plug (i.e. an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug Europlug]), you don't need an adapter. If you have a non-Swiss 3-pin plug, a British plug or a plug with 2 pins and additional clips (e.g. the Type E or F used in France and Germany), you need an adapter to use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plug#Type_J Type J] used in Switzerland. Make sure your device can handle 230V at 50Hz.<br />
|-<br />
| What are the prices in Switzerland? How much does Bread/Lunch/Accomodation/Public transporatation cost? || Zurich is generally considered one of the most expensive cities in Europe and the world. We try to keep costs of FUDCon attendees low where we can and are looking to get special discounts. Prices without discounts: 500 Bread is CHF 1.20, lunch starts at CHF 10.- (i.e. a pizza margarita or a kebap), accommodation: [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Accommodation]], public transportation: one day ticket that covers the hotel and the event location is CHF 12.40 and valid for bus, tram and train and cable car. Discounts are TBD.<br />
|-<br />
| Will there be internet available? || We have ethernet plugs for the hackfest tables and probably for the presenters (make sure your talk still works if the internet fails, though). There's wifi in most parts of the building, particularly in all session rooms and the hackfest areas. Also, there'll be a few ethernet sockets in the Zivilschutzbunker and we try to set up a wifi access point. The connections should allow access to any ports (incoming and outgoing). Please don't try to down-/upload anything illegal or large chunks as there's automated systems in place that would then shut down all connections until Monday.<br />

'''Zurich, Switzerland :: September 17 - 19, 2010'''<br />
<br />
''The primary owners of this event are [[User:Red|Sandro Mathys]] & [[User:Mmoeller|Marcus Moeller]], with some help and budget from Red Hat's [[Community Architecture]] team.<br />
<br />
== Quick reference ==<br />
<br />
[[FUDCon]] is the '''''Fedora Users and Developer's Conference''''', an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. For a taste of what a FUDCon is like, you can [http://magazine.redhat.com/2009/02/13/video-fudcon-11/ view a video] from a previous FUDCon.<br />
<br />
This year FUDCon EMEA will be proudly hosted by [[FrOSCamp_2010_Zurich|FrOSCamp 2010]] on the premises of the [http://www.ethz.ch/ ETH Zurich]. This goes as far as that the unknowing user might not even be able to separate them as there will be a single agenda for both. Of course FUDCon will have Fedora dedicated rooms and FrOSCamp will have their own rooms - there'll be only one shared keynote room tho. Both events take place in the same building at the same time (no FrOSCamp on Sunday tho) and share lots of resources and hopefully also a part of the audience. Seeing FrOSCamp and FUDCon participants in some sort of productive exchange would be great! After all Fedora is friends with all other major distributions, upstream, downstream and all other projects oriented towards free and open source.<br />
<br />
Even the party on Friday evening is open for everyone from both events. There'll be a FUDPub targeted mainly for the FUDCon audience on Saturday evening, but of course friends are always welcome there too.<br />
<br />
Take a look at our [http://www.facebook.com/pages/FUDCon-Zurich-2010/150887641594048 Facebook] page for regular updates and news as well as stunning pictures from the event.<br />

<br />
=== Opening Times ===<br />
Doors open at 09:00 and the programm starts at 10:00 and goes on until 18:00, doors closing at 19:00. But don't think it'll be a boring evening - there's social events planned until midnight and there's always a bar open later on!<br />

This is the main page for the Etherpad [[FAD|Fedora Activity Day]] to be held Oct 8-9th at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olin_college Olin College of Engineering]. We are going to improve Etherpad, the [http://www.viddler.com/explore/aaroniba/videos/1/ wonderful open source collaboration tool], package it for Fedora, and get one running at Olin and one on Fedora Infrastructure. Excited by any of the [[#Skills Sought|technologies we'll be using]] or a new contributor to open source, we hope you'll join us.<br />

<br />
<br />
== Background (what is Etherpad?) ==<br />
<br />
Background: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EtherPad EtherPad] ([http://www.viddler.com/explore/aaroniba/videos/1/ video demo]) was a high-performance web-based collaborative document editor, launched in 2008 from etherpad.com. It was acquired by Google during the development of Google Wave, and the service's code base was open-sourced. Several websites now run an EtherPad service and there is interest in making private installs (such as one for the Fedora Project) easier to create.<br />
<br />
Buuut the EtherPad code-base isn't exactly in a packageable state, as demonstrated by SDZ, [[Etherpad|here]]. We would like to package EtherPad correctly for Fedora. Where possible, we intend to use good build system practices and clean up libraries used.<br />
<br />
Finally, once complete, we'd like to use the new packages to setup an EtherPad instance for the Fedora Community.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== I'm new to FADs / open source / hackathons what can I expect? ===<br />
Expect to learn a lot. The FAD is mainly about a volunteer group working to make a dent in an awesome piece of software. Not an über-coder, we'll find ways for you to help, and make sure you learn something.<br />
<br />
Not interested in working a whole weekend on Etherpad? Stop by 5pm Saturday for a presentation by Jeff Mitchell on managing the KDE community ([[#Agenda|agenda]])! How do you manage a passionate, distributed group of international volunteers? We'll find out. After, we'd love to talk about open source, our communities, and technology in general.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== I'm far away / can't physically attend, how can I help? ===<br />
We'll be hanging out on IRC! I'll make sure there is someone dedicated to IRC / community contact. <br />

'''Zurich, Switzerland :: September 17 - 19, 2010'''<br />
<br />
''The primary owners of this event are [[User:Red|Sandro Mathys]] & [[User:Mmoeller|Marcus Moeller]], with some help and budget from Red Hat's [[Community Architecture]] team.<br />
<br />
== Quick reference ==<br />
<br />
[[FUDCon]] is the '''''Fedora Users and Developer's Conference''''', an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. For a taste of what a FUDCon is like, you can [http://magazine.redhat.com/2009/02/13/video-fudcon-11/ view a video] from a previous FUDCon.<br />
<br />
This year FUDCon EMEA will be proudly hosted by [[FrOSCamp_2010_Zurich|FrOSCamp 2010]] on the premises of the [http://www.ethz.ch/ ETH Zurich]. This goes as far as that the unknowing user might not even be able to separate them as there will be a single agenda for both. Of course FUDCon will have Fedora dedicated rooms and FrOSCamp will have their own rooms - there'll be only one shared keynote room tho. Both events take place in the same building at the same time (no FrOSCamp on Sunday tho) and share lots of resources and hopefully also a part of the audience. Seeing FrOSCamp and FUDCon participants in some sort of productive exchange would be great! After all Fedora is friends with all other major distributions, upstream, downstream and all other projects oriented towards free and open source.<br />
<br />
Even the party on Friday evening is open for everyone from both events. There'll be a FUDPub targeted mainly for the FUDCon audience on Saturday evening, but of course friends are always welcome there too.<br />
<br />
== Pre-registration ==<br />
* See [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Pre-registration]]<br />
<br />
== Accommodation ==<br />
Everyone is responsible to book a room from our room contingent in our event hotel on their own. Please see [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Accommodation]] for further details.<br />
<br />
== Event details ==<br />
<br />
=== Opening Times ===<br />
Doors open at 09:00 and the programm starts at 10:00 and goes on until 18:00, doors closing at 19:00. But don't think it'll be a boring evening - there's social events planned until midnight and there's always a bar open later on!<br />
<br />
=== Location ===<br />
* See [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Location]].<br />
<br />
=== Sessions ===<br />
<br />
==== Days 1 and 2 - Friday and Saturday, 2010-09-17/18 ====<br />
There will be talks and workshops with a previously determined (i.e. fixed) agenda and random hacking in groups. Add your talk/workshop to [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Talks_and_Workshops]]. The agenda will be fixed at least 1.5 months in advance and then be published here.<br />
<br />
That's also the two days where our partner event FrOSCamp will feature sessions and FUDCon sessions will be made public in their program as well.<br />
<br />
==== Day 3 - Sunday, 2010-09-19 ====<br />
There will be talks and workshops that will be determined in BarCamp style first thing in the morning and random hacking in groups. Prepare to brief the audience about your talk/workshops in 2 minutes tops at 09:00 and to start your presentation at 10:00. You can add your talk/workshop to [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Talks_and_Workshops]] but you can also do this last minute without announcement before Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
FrOSCamp has finished at this point so it's FUDCon only.<br />
<br />
=== Social Events ===<br />
<br />
==== Wired Dreams Party ====<br />
On Friday evening after FUDCon there's a big party together with the folks from FrOSCamp. It will take place in the student association's party location in the ETH Zurich's CAB building which is just next to the primary event location (CHN building). No matter whether you'll just need a [http://www.freebeer.ch/ FreeBeer] (free as in freedom, i.e. creative commons) after an exhausting day or you need to move your body to the bands playing live creative commons music after many hours of sitting in talks all day long that party is definitely the place to be!<br />
<br />
==== FUDPub ====<br />
On Saturday evening after FUDCon there's a relaxed [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_FUDPub|FUDPub]] for Fedora folks and friends taking place in Zurich.<br />
<br />
==== Sightseeing at CERN ====<br />
On Monday there are plans to do some [[Sightseeing_at_CERN| sightseeing at CERN]].<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
{|<br />
! Question !! Answer <br />
|-<br />
| What's the entrance fee? || Entrance to FUDCon (and FrOSCamp) including all talks, workshops and everything else is free of charge. This is also true for Friday's party and Saturday's FUDPub. You'll have to pay for food and drinks tho - the first drink and a snack might get sponsored (TBD).<br />
|-<br />
| What's the currency of Switzerland? Can I use €? || You could pay with EUR in many places in Zurich, but would normally have the worse exchange rate as at a bank. You definitely need CHF at Friday's party. Be aware that Swiss banks are closed during the weekend and close in the early afternoon on Fridays but most ATMs are accessible 24/7 even though there's no ATM at the event location. If you need to exchange foreign cash (during the weekend) you can do so in the main station or at the airport. There's always a fee when exchanging money.<br />
|-<br />
| Do I need cash or do cards the job? || You'll need some cash for Friday's party, to get a quick snack (like a doener kebap just over the street) or in very small shops. Maestro debit cards work in most shops and to get train/tram/bus tickets. Credit cards are mostly accepted in shops and (non-snack) restaurants.<br />
|-<br />
| How about traveller cheques? || Traveller cheques (in CHF, EUR and USD) can be exchanged at most local banks.<br />
|-<br />
| What power plugs/sockets are in use in Switzerland? Will europlug work? || If you have an European 2-pin plug (i.e. an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug Europlug]), you don't need an adapter. If you have a non-Swiss 3-pin plug, a British plug or a plug with 2 pins and additional clips (e.g. the Type E or F used in France and Germany), you need an adapter to use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plug#Type_J Type J] used in Switzerland. Make sure your device can handle 230V at 50Hz.<br />
|-<br />
| What are the prices in Switzerland? How much does Bread/Lunch/Accomodation/Public transporatation cost? || Zurich is generally considered one of the most expensive cities in Europe and the world. We try to keep costs of FUDCon attendees low where we can and are looking to get special discounts. Prices without discounts: 500 Bread is CHF 1.20, lunch starts at CHF 10.- (i.e. a pizza margarita or a kebap), accommodation: [[FUDCon:Zurich_2010_Accommodation]], public transportation: one day ticket that covers the hotel and the event location is CHF 12.40 and valid for bus, tram and train and cable car. Discounts are TBD.<br />

As Marketeer you help to find the right words and materials so that others know what to expect from the Fedoraproject. You are a person, friendly and communicative.

You help connect different people in different parts of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests are different.<br />

Dear new Marketing Team Contributor,<br />
<br />
Thank you for applying to the "Marketing" group in Fedora Account System and to participate.<br />

<br />
There is no special Membership Process needed, but we would like to give you some short infos so that your way into Fedora Marketing gets easier.<br><br />

As Marketeer you give a face and a name to Fedora and help to spread out the word. You are a person, friendly and approachable. Fedora is big and scary, but you are going to help make sure that *one person* finds their way through all the confusion into the place where they can contribute. You are the glue. You help connect different people in different parts of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests are different.<br />
In order to maintain a high level of quality in the Marketing group, we ask you to start with some basics starting with:<br />

These are the [[Talking Points]] for the Fedora 14 release. For information on how these talking points were chosen, see [[Talking Points SOP]]. They are intended to help [[Ambassadors]] quickly present an overview of highlighted features when talking about the release.<br />
<br />
The talking points are based in part on the [[Releases/14/FeatureList|features]] for this release. Any Fedora community member can introduce a feature, using our [[Features/Policy|feature process]].<br />

<br />
[http://meego.com MeeGo&trade;] is an operating environment and development kit for next-generation mobile and device platforms, formed from the merger of Intel's Moblin project and Nokia's Maemo project, and backed by the [http://linuxfoundation.org Linux Foundation]. It includes a rich set of software and libraries that support multiple architectures and multiple app stores, and are well aligned with a variety of upstream free and open source software projects. Fedora 14 offers an integrated set of MeeGo software on a ready-to-use spin. Users can experience this platform simply by downloading the spin image, and can try it on any personal computer, including netbooks or other small systems, and interested developers can contribute to the development of this exciting new platform.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Systemd ===<br />
<br />
<small>[[Features/systemd|Systemd feature]]</small><br />
<br />
Systemd, a next-generation replacement for Upstart and SystemV init, allows for parallel and on-demand starting of services and features, which will result in faster boot times. In addition, Systemd tracks processes, daemons, sockets, etc and can snapshot the actual state of a system at any given point.<br />

<small>[[Features/D_Programming|D Programming feature]]</small><br />
<br />
D is a systems programming language which focus is on combining the power and high performance of programminglanguage C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. The D language is statically typed and compiles directly to machine code. It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles: imperative, object oriented, and metaprogramming. It's a member of the C syntax family, and its appearance is very similar to that of C++. <br />
<br />
''Programming language Combination with many Implementations like .NET, LLVM, etc.''<br />
<br />
=== GNUstep ===<br />
<br />
<small>[[Features/GNUstep|GNUstep feature]]</small><br />
<br />
GNUstep is a reimplementation of the NextStep environment. It's a GUI framework <br />
based of the Objective-C programming language which is part of the gcc. It is also available n other Linux distribution like Debian or Gentoo Linux. Programm packages are easyly portable.<br />

<br />
=== Memory Debugging Tools ===<br />
<br />
<small>[[Features/MemoryDebuggingTools|Memory Debugging Tools feature]]</small><br />
<br />
The new "gdb-heap" package adds a new "heap" command to /usr/bin/gdb which allows you to get a breakdown of how that process is using dynamic memory. <br />
It allows for unplanned memory usage debugging, which means that if a process unexpectedly starts using large amounts of memory you can attach to it with gdb, and use the heap command to figure out where the memory is going. You should also be able to use it on core dumps. This feature was developed inside of Fedora by David Malcolm and is a unique feature of Fedora 14.<br />
<br />
''Fedora's GDB gains memory debugging tools.''<br />
<br />
=== Python 2.7 ===<br />
<br />
<small>[[Features/Python_2.7|Python 2.7 feature]]</small><br />
<br />
Fedora 14 includes Python 2.7 and increases our commitment to improving portability and migration paths for developers to move to Python 3. Many modules are now feature complete with their Python 3.1 equivalents, and are also much more efficient than in earlier Python 2.x releases. For example, the IO class can now be up to 20 times faster in some operations since it has been rewritten. New debugging objects like memoryview can help speed development by giving you an "inside view" of your code. Enhanced Python debugging and integration with GCC continue to be available in the Fedora 14 release and into the future. Fedora 14 also includes Python-related enhancements such as fixing common problems with GObject introspection and SWIG.<br />
<br />
''Python 2.7 allows Fedora 14 users to both develop powerful code and easily migrate to Python 3 in the future.''<br />
<br />
=== Rakudo Star ===<br />
<small>[[Features/Rakudo_Star|Rakudo Star feature ]]</small><br />
<br />
Perl 6 is a major revision to the Perl programming language, which introduces elements of many modern and historical languages. There are currently multiple implementation projects of Perl 6 underway, the most actively developed one is Rakudo, which is based on the Parrot virtual machine. <br />
<br />
''The first production release of the Perl 6 language.''<br />

[http://meego.com MeeGo&trade;] is an operating environment and development kit for next-generation mobile and device platforms, formed from the merger of Intel's Moblin project and Nokia's Maemo project, and backed by the [http://linuxfoundation.org Linux Foundation]. It includes a rich set of software and libraries that support multiple architectures and multiple app stores, and are well aligned with a variety of upstream free and open source software projects. Fedora 14 offers an integrated set of MeeGo software on a ready-to-use spin. Users can experience this platform simply by downloading the spin image, and can try it on any personal computer, including netbooks or other small systems, and interested developers can contribute to the development of this exciting new platform.<br />

It allows to defer the start of daemons until the deamon is needed for accepting an incomming network connection. It is also able to manage file system tasks. Using control groups (a Linux feature) it allows to handle all processes related to a particular feature together. In the future it will also act as session manager. It will speed up boot, but more work is needed to reap the full benefits.<br />

D is a systems programming language which focus is on combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. The D language is statically typed and compiles directly to machine code. It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles: imperative, object oriented, and metaprogramming. It's a member of the C syntax family, and its appearance is very similar to that of C++. <br />

<small>[[Features/Python_2.7|Python 2.7 feature]]</small><br />
<br />
Python 2.7 is the last of the Python 2.x releases, and introduces many new features that are present in Python 3 to allow Python developers an easier migration to the new Python 3 stack. Many modules are now feature complete with their Python 3.1 equivalents, and are also much more efficient. For example, the IO class can now be up to 20 times faster in some operations since it has been rewritten. New debugging objects like memoryview can help speed development by giving you an "inside view" of your code.<br />

= Introduction =<br />
[[Image:4Foundations.png|border|frame|right|The Fedora Project 4 Foundations]]<br />
{{admon/note| Note from the author:| This SWOT Analysis was produced not only to translate the reality of the Fedora Project through my eyes, but also to highlight some methodology that can be useful in the future for anyone willing to give continuity to this work. A SWOT is a tool used by Marketing Management to provide a self assessment of a project or venture and help to provide a good strategy for it. I believe it is an important tool and I will try my best to make it simple and easy to understand.<br />
I'm placing my efforts to translate the Fedora Project reality according to my own conceptions and knowledge about it. I understand the 'community' factor involved, but see it this way: if Fedora Project hired an independent consultant to perform this work, it would also translate their view, not YOURS or the Community or Fedora.}}<br />
<br />
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is a tool to provide a self assessment of a project/organization/venture that provides useful output to help on the strategical planning of the very same project/organization/venture.<br />
This was the very first challenge I proposed myself when I joined Fedora Marketing Group. I've chosen to do this for several reasons, being by far the most important of them the fact that I wanted to understand the project.<br />
<br />
The subject of this document is the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] as a community that produces a product known as [http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora Fedora Linux], one of the most known Linux distributions available for several audiences, from Linux enthusiasts to Software Engineering Professionals, from students to power productivity users, and everyone else who wants to give it a go as an alternative to proprietary software available from several companies.<br />
<br />
To better understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] it is recommended to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations 4 Fedora Foundations], which provide the basis of the [http://projectfedora.org Fedora Project] identity. <br />
Another relevant document to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] is the current developing version of the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan] which presents interesting information regarding several factors of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project], some of this interest factors are:<br />
<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#User_base_of_tomorrow Future User Base];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Spread_the_brand Brand Notoriety];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Build_on-ramps Approach and User Enrolment];<br />
<br />
There are other interesting factors that are introduced in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan], but I will focus only on the three mentioned above because they are the most complete and relevant for the upcoming contents displayed on this document.<br />
<br />
This document is composed of the following sections:<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Introduction Introduction]''' - A small introduction to the document and the topics to that compose the same.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Internal_Environment Internal Environment Analysis]''' - An analysis to the Internal Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which consists on highlighting and understanding a set of key factors that can be fully controllable by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that will qualify as '''Weaknesses''' and '''Strengths'''. This factors are to be selected as a self-assessment of the project and will be evaluated under a methodology explained later.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#External_Analysis External Analysis]''' - An analysis of the External Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which will provide a set of key factors, those that can not be in any way controlled by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that might act as '''Opportunities''' or '''Threats''' to the project. They will be evaluated under four factors (Economy, Social/Demographic, Politic/Legal and Technological) that will be introduced later on.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Analysis_and_Proposals_for_Action Analysis and Proposals for Action]''' - The last part of the document will be an analysis from the SWOT itself (including Matrix) with a set of proposals for action to correct the possible points that might require immediate action from the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] & [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Comparative_Analysis Critical Comparative Analysis]''' - This points might not qualify for a typical SWOT Analysis, but they are of relevance and they should be present in this case, therefore I've taken the liberty of introducing them on this document.<br />
<br />
= SWOT Analysis =<br />
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is often divided in two different analysis, both very important for the strategical planning.<br />
{{Quote|As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.| Julius Caesar}}<br />
* '''External Environment''' - This will define the '''Threats''' and '''Opportunities''' of the Project and none of this factors can be controlled by the management, or in this case the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. The '''External Environment''' is based on the following factors:<br />
** '''Demographic/Social Factors''' - An analysis based on social and demographic factors. Given the nature of the Fedora Project it is also important to look at geographical data.<br />
** '''Technological Factors''' - The technological factors in the Industry.<br />
** '''Politic/Legal Factors''' - Legal and Politic factors. Factors like licensing and legislation are contemplated here.<br />
** '''Economical Factors''' - The economical factors.<br />
<br />
* '''Internal Environment''' - The internal environment provides the '''Strengths''' and '''Weaknesses''' of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. All this factors can be controlled by the Fedora Project and they are being evaluated according to:<br />
** '''Men''' - Defines factors related to manpower, this includes contributors, enthusiasts, audience that is involved with Fedora, payed contributors and sponsorship in operational fields.<br />
** '''Measures''' - The course of action taken to achieve the goals proposed, highly theoretical.<br />
** '''Means''' - The operational field that implements '''measures''' on the operational theatre.<br />
** '''Machines''' - The intellectual capital and physical support used to produce Fedora Linux, including infra-structure which is shared with other points.<br />
** '''Methods''' - The methods used to weight '''measures''' and '''means'''.<br />
<br />
The SWOT Analysis should provide information helpful in evaluating the Project's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. This is a instrumental resource in strategy formulation and selection.<br />
<br />
== Internal Environment ==<br />
The Internal Environment Analysis is a self assessment of the Fedora Project based on all the factors that the Fedora Project can control directly. From this Analysis we will identify factors that will classified under '''Strengths''' or '''Weaknesses'''. This factors are to be taken into consideration related to the following aspects:<br />
* Quality and Management<br />
* Performance / Performance Improvements<br />
* Technology<br />
<br />
For the Internal Environment Analysis we will take into consideration the following:<br />
* There is a product called Fedora Linux;<br />
* Infra-structure (physical and intellectual) for this analysis is a part of the 'product' Fedora Linux;<br />
* The group of people, sponsors, contributors, enthusiasts, etc, behind the 'product' Fedora Linux is the Fedora Community;<br />
* The audience is defined by the information on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora's Marketing Plan].<br />
<br />
=== Strengths ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
Men; manpower related (no gender discrimination). This are [http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] strong factors when it comes to manpower. <br />
<br />
===== Payed/Sponsored Contributors/Contributions =====<br />
[http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.], the main sponsor of [http://www.fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] allocates resources to the Fedora Project from their own staff. This is a very positive factor for the Fedora Project as it can deploy in the industry new technology which otherwise would be harder to achieve. The symbiotic relation between Red Hat Inc. and the Fedora Project is one of the factors which strongly contribute to the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations First Foundation] of the Fedora Project.<br />
It is also important to mention that most projects that are represented on Fedora Linux also might have contributions that share this charactristic (ex: [http://kernel.org linux kernel], [http://gnome.org GNOME], [http://kde.org KDE]).<br />
This contributions are important to the current status of many FOSS projects, including Fedora, and represent a strength within the Project Fedora, specially the contributions sponsored by Red Hat.<br />
<br />
===== Volunteer Contributors =====<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] has thousands of volunteer contributors working in several tasks. Everyday thousands of people contribute actively for several sub-projects of Fedora with thousands of hours of dedicated work to make Fedora Linux happen and keep the community growing. Many sub-projects are daily maintained by this people.<br />
This is the real muscle of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and the real life force behind it, the Fedora's contributors.<br />
<br />
===== The Bazaar Model =====<br />
[[User:Rbergeron|Robyn Bergeron]] introduced me once with [http://catb.org/esr/writings/homesteading/ The Cathedral and the Bazaar]. The model described in the Bazaar is outstanding. The proof that the most sceptic would require are long given. In a matter of manpower this model provides an outstanding solution to fast and feature rich development. This is without doubt the element that solved the manpower problem for many applications, and still does. We should not underestimate the Cathedral building.<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] also mentions something interesting: ''general productivity user''. This productivity user is usually something hard to decode. If this user is not computer friendly or Linux enthusiast the Bazaar Model sometimes might fail. A lot is around this "'''general productivity user'''" which at some point might be complicated for the Bazaar Model to handle.<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Marketing Team =====<br />
[[Image:FedoraMarketing.png|right|border|frame|Marketing Team]]<br />
The Fedora Project [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Marketing Team] is responsible for many positive sinergies around the Fedora Project, namely on the Promotion (see [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Promotion Promotion - Marketing Mix) of the Fedora Project.<br />
The Fedora Project Marketing Team also has a very special strategical position working many times as a bridge between different teams and placing a special efforts on Ambassadorial Campaigns and Events.<br />
<br />
===== Translation/Localization Teams =====<br />
The L10N Project is responsible for translation and localization of Fedora Linux and Fedora Infra-Structure for at least 40 different languages worldwide.<br />
The contributions on this area are a Critical Factor for Success, and despite many times the work from this contributors remains un-noticed by the wider audiences, they provide one of the most important strategical factors for user base increase and market penetration.<br />
<br />
===== Design/Artwork Teams =====<br />
[[Image:Artwork_ArtTeamProjects_WikiDesign_ArtTeamN1.png|right|frame|border|Design Team]]<br />
<br />
===== Engineering Teams =====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
[[Image:Ambassadors_Header_AmbassadorsN1.png|right|frame|border|Fedora Ambassadors]]<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors Ambassadors] initiative aims to deploy first line Public Relations and promote the Fedora Project amongst it's established and potential audiences. It is unclear how goals are defined and evaluated from my perspective as they seem to operate in a very closed group on a fully armoured structure.<br />
The work developed by Ambassadors in many fields, specially on event production and promotion is to be pointed as a '''strength''' and a critical factor for success (discussed on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] more in-depth).<br />
<br />
===== Events (FAD's, FUDCon's, etc) =====<br />
The ammount of events where the fedoraproject itself or Individuals are present.<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
<br />
===== Free Media Program =====<br />
<br />
===== Public Mirror System =====<br />
<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
Machines; These should be faced as every tool used to produce something in the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
<br />
===== Sponsorship =====<br />
My approach to sponsorship is generic, it is widely known that [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.] is the official sponsor of the Fedora Project. But in the scope of this SWOT Analysis I would like also to keep an importance on the following:<br />
* Red Hat Inc; The main sponsor of the Fedora Project and Industry leader. This creates very good synergies and energies on the Fedora Community. Considering symbiotic bond between Red Hat and the Fedora Project it is realistic to say that Fedora Linux has high notoriety and recognized value by the target audiences (defined in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan]).<br />
* Hosting sponsors; This sponsorship is important not only for the Community Infra-Structure but also for the free circulation of contents throughout several communities and FOSS projects. I would also like to mention that official Fedora Mirrors should also be contemplated as hosting sponsors. All together they deploy not only the Fedora Community infra-structure but also enable a powerful distribution channel for Fedora Linux.<br />
* Mirrors: To all the local and international mirrors which allow such a great distribution channel.<br />
* Human; Every single person that donates a part of their personal time to the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
It is through a wide set of sponsorships measurable in value and volume that the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] strives for providing a technological leading Linux distribution. Through this sponsorships I believe that most people will find the two human pillars of Fedora, Freedom and Friends.<br />
<br />
===== Infrastructure =====<br />
The Fedora Project provides a large infrastructure to support it's community, which can actually be measured in value and volume. If we take into consideration the following:<br />
* Community: The infrastruture oriented for the community. This includes example like [http://planet.fedoraproject.org Planet], wiki, IRC, logistics, etc.<br />
* Fedora Project - FAS, Transifex, git, etc. All the technological platforms that are online with the goal of producing Fedora Linux.<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
===== Smolt =====<br />
<br />
===== LimeSurvey Platform =====<br />
<br />
=== Weaknesses ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
<br />
===== Lack of Contributors =====<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
<br />
===== Resources =====<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Critical Factors for Success ===<br />
<br />
==== User Base ====<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] has established in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base user base] for the future:<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_voluntary_Linux_consumer Voluntary Linux Consumer] - Though the Fedora Project defines clear [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_%28marketing%29 positioning] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_differentiation diferentiation], this might not be clear to all users specially because the promotion lacks of many details regarding about this. To successfully increase penetration rates amongst this users it is imperative that positioning and diferentiation is a part of the message, this can be done through comparative advertisement or using a more subtile approach. Though the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations Fedora Foundations] provide good information regarding positioning and diferentiation (and considering that Fedora Linux inherits the notoriety of Red Hat as a part of it own), [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#First First] and [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#Features Features] might not be enough to translate the correct message about it's positioning and diferentiation. <br />
On one of my first approaches to the Fedora Project, I was told that other FOSS communities like [http://www.opensuse.org openSuSE] and [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu] were 'friends' sharing work for the same goal, FOSS.

= Introduction =<br />
[[Image:4Foundations.png|border|frame|right|The Fedora Project 4 Foundations]]<br />
{{admon/note| Note from the author:| This SWOT Analysis was produced not only to translate the reality of the Fedora Project through my eyes, but also to highlight some methodology that can be useful in the future for anyone willing to give continuity to this work. A SWOT is a tool used by Marketing Management to provide a self assessment of a project or venture and help to provide a good strategy for it. I believe it is an important tool and I will try my best to make it simple and easy to understand.<br />
I'm placing my efforts to translate the Fedora Project reality according to my own conceptions and knowledge about it. I understand the 'community' factor involved, but see it this way: if Fedora Project hired an independent consultant to perform this work, it would also translate their view, not YOURS or the Community or Fedora.}}<br />
<br />
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is a tool to provide a self assessment of a project/organization/venture that provides useful output to help on the strategical planning of the very same project/organization/venture.<br />
This was the very first challenge I proposed myself when I joined Fedora Marketing Group. I've chosen to do this for several reasons, being by far the most important of them the fact that I wanted to understand the project.<br />
<br />
The subject of this document is the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] as a community that produces a product known as [http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora Fedora Linux], one of the most known Linux distributions available for several audiences, from Linux enthusiasts to Software Engineering Professionals, from students to power productivity users, and everyone else who wants to give it a go as an alternative to proprietary software available from several companies.<br />
<br />
To better understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] it is recommended to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations 4 Fedora Foundations], which provide the basis of the [http://projectfedora.org Fedora Project] identity. <br />
Another relevant document to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] is the current developing version of the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan] which presents interesting information regarding several factors of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project], some of this interest factors are:<br />
<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#User_base_of_tomorrow Future User Base];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Spread_the_brand Brand Notoriety];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Build_on-ramps Approach and User Enrolment];<br />
<br />
There are other interesting factors that are introduced in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan], but I will focus only on the three mentioned above because they are the most complete and relevant for the upcoming contents displayed on this document.<br />
<br />
This document is composed of the following sections:<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Introduction Introduction]''' - A small introduction to the document and the topics to that compose the same.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Internal_Environment Internal Environment Analysis]''' - An analysis to the Internal Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which consists on highlighting and understanding a set of key factors that can be fully controllable by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that will qualify as '''Weaknesses''' and '''Strengths'''. This factors are to be selected as a self-assessment of the project and will be evaluated under a methodology explained later.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#External_Analysis External Analysis]''' - An analysis of the External Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which will provide a set of key factors, those that can not be in any way controlled by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that might act as '''Opportunities''' or '''Threats''' to the project. They will be evaluated under four factors (Economy, Social/Demographic, Politic/Legal and Technological) that will be introduced later on.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Analysis_and_Proposals_for_Action Analysis and Proposals for Action]''' - The last part of the document will be an analysis from the SWOT itself (including Matrix) with a set of proposals for action to correct the possible points that might require immediate action from the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] & [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Comparative_Analysis Critical Comparative Analysis]''' - This points might not qualify for a typical SWOT Analysis, but they are of relevance and they should be present in this case, therefore I've taken the liberty of introducing them on this document.<br />
<br />
= SWOT Analysis =<br />
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is often divided in two different analysis, both very important for the strategical planning.<br />
{{Quote|As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.| Julius Caesar}}<br />
* '''External Environment''' - This will define the '''Threats''' and '''Opportunities''' of the Project and none of this factors can be controlled by the management, or in this case the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. The '''External Environment''' is based on the following factors:<br />
** '''Demographic/Social Factors''' - An analysis based on social and demographic factors. Given the nature of the Fedora Project it is also important to look at geographical data.<br />
** '''Technological Factors''' - The technological factors in the Industry.<br />
** '''Politic/Legal Factors''' - Legal and Politic factors. Factors like licensing and legislation are contemplated here.<br />
** '''Economical Factors''' - The economical factors.<br />
<br />
* '''Internal Environment''' - The internal environment provides the '''Strengths''' and '''Weaknesses''' of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. All this factors can be controlled by the Fedora Project and they are being evaluated according to:<br />
** '''Men''' - Defines factors related to manpower, this includes contributors, enthusiasts, audience that is involved with Fedora, payed contributors and sponsorship in operational fields.<br />
** '''Measures''' - The course of action taken to achieve the goals proposed, highly theoretical.<br />
** '''Means''' - The operational field that implements '''measures''' on the operational theatre.<br />
** '''Machines''' - The intellectual capital and physical support used to produce Fedora Linux, including infra-structure which is shared with other points.<br />
** '''Methods''' - The methods used to weight '''measures''' and '''means'''.<br />
<br />
The SWOT Analysis should provide information helpful in evaluating the Project's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. This is a instrumental resource in strategy formulation and selection.<br />
<br />
== Internal Environment ==<br />
The Internal Environment Analysis is a self assessment of the Fedora Project based on all the factors that the Fedora Project can control directly. From this Analysis we will identify factors that will classified under '''Strengths''' or '''Weaknesses'''. This factors are to be taken into consideration related to the following aspects:<br />
* Quality and Management<br />
* Performance / Performance Improvements<br />
* Technology<br />
<br />
For the Internal Environment Analysis we will take into consideration the following:<br />
* There is a product called Fedora Linux;<br />
* Infra-structure (physical and intellectual) for this analysis is a part of the 'product' Fedora Linux;<br />
* The group of people, sponsors, contributors, enthusiasts, etc, behind the 'product' Fedora Linux is the Fedora Community;<br />
* The audience is defined by the information on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora's Marketing Plan].<br />
<br />
=== Strengths ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
Men; manpower related (no gender discrimination). This are [http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] strong factors when it comes to manpower. <br />
<br />
===== Payed/Sponsored Contributors/Contributions =====<br />
[http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.], the main sponsor of [http://www.fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] allocates resources to the Fedora Project from their own staff. This is a very positive factor for the Fedora Project as it can deploy in the industry new technology which otherwise would be harder to achieve. The symbiotic relation between Red Hat Inc. and the Fedora Project is one of the factors which strongly contribute to the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations First Foundation] of the Fedora Project.<br />
It is also important to mention that most projects that are represented on Fedora Linux also might have contributions that share this charactristic (ex: [http://kernel.org linux kernel], [http://gnome.org GNOME], [http://kde.org KDE]).<br />
This contributions are important to the current status of many FOSS projects, including Fedora, and represent a strength within the Project Fedora, specially the contributions sponsored by Red Hat.<br />
<br />
===== Volunteer Contributors =====<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] has thousands of volunteer contributors working in several tasks. Everyday thousands of people contribute actively for several sub-projects of Fedora with thousands of hours of dedicated work to make Fedora Linux happen and keep the community growing. Many sub-projects are daily maintained by this people.<br />
This is the real muscle of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and the real life force behind it, the Fedora's contributors.<br />
<br />
===== The Bazaar Model =====<br />
[[User:Rbergeron|Robyn Bergeron]] introduced me once with [http://catb.org/esr/writings/homesteading/ The Cathedral and the Bazaar]. The model described in the Bazaar is outstanding. The proof that the most sceptic would require are long given. In a matter of manpower this model provides an outstanding solution to fast and feature rich development. This is without doubt the element that solved the manpower problem for many applications, and still does. We should not underestimate the Cathedral building.<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] also mentions something interesting: ''general productivity user''. This productivity user is usually something hard to decode. If this user is not computer friendly or Linux enthusiast the Bazaar Model sometimes might fail. A lot is around this "'''general productivity user'''" which at some point might be complicated for the Bazaar Model to handle.<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Marketing Team =====<br />
[[Image:FedoraMarketing.png|right|border|frame|Marketing Team]]<br />
The Fedora Project [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Marketing Team] is responsible for many positive sinergies around the Fedora Project, namely on the Promotion (see [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Promotion Promotion - Marketing Mix) of the Fedora Project.<br />
The Fedora Project Marketing Team also has a very special strategical position working many times as a bridge between different teams and placing a special efforts on Ambassadorial Campaigns and Events.<br />
<br />
===== Translation/Localization Teams =====<br />
The L10N Project is responsible for translation and localization of Fedora Linux and Fedora Infra-Structure for at least 40 different languages worldwide.<br />
The contributions on this area are a Critical Factor for Success, and despite many times the work from this contributors remains un-noticed by the wider audiences, they provide one of the most important strategical factors for user base increase and market penetration.<br />
<br />
===== Design/Artwork Teams =====<br />
[[Image:Artwork_ArtTeamProjects_WikiDesign_ArtTeamN1.png|right|frame|border|Design Team]]<br />
<br />
===== Engineering Teams =====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
[[Image:Ambassadors_Header_AmbassadorsN1.png|right|frame|border|Fedora Ambassadors]]<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors Ambassadors] initiative aims to deploy first line Public Relations and promote the Fedora Project amongst it's established and potential audiences. It is unclear how goals are defined and evaluated from my perspective as they seem to operate in a very closed group on a fully armoured structure.<br />
The work developed by Ambassadors in many fields, specially on event production and promotion is to be pointed as a '''strength''' and a critical factor for success (discussed on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] more in-depth).<br />
<br />
===== Events (FAD's, FUDCon's, etc) =====<br />
The ammount of events where the fedoraproject itself or Individuals are present.<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
<br />
===== Free Media Program =====<br />
<br />
===== Public Mirror System =====<br />
<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
Machines; These should be faced as every tool used to produce something in the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
<br />
===== Sponsorship =====<br />
My approach to sponsorship is generic, it is widely known that [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.] is the official sponsor of the Fedora Project. But in the scope of this SWOT Analysis I would like also to keep an importance on the following:<br />
* Red Hat Inc; The main sponsor of the Fedora Project and Industry leader. This creates very good synergies and energies on the Fedora Community. Considering symbiotic bond between Red Hat and the Fedora Project it is realistic to say that Fedora Linux has high notoriety and recognized value by the target audiences (defined in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan]).<br />
* Hosting sponsors; This sponsorship is important not only for the Community Infra-Structure but also for the free circulation of contents throughout several communities and FOSS projects. I would also like to mention that official Fedora Mirrors should also be contemplated as hosting sponsors. All together they deploy not only the Fedora Community infra-structure but also enable a powerful distribution channel for Fedora Linux.<br />
* Mirrors: To all the local and international mirrors which allow such a great distribution channel.<br />
* Human; Every single person that donates a part of their personal time to the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
It is through a wide set of sponsorships measurable in value and volume that the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] strives for providing a technological leading Linux distribution. Through this sponsorships I believe that most people will find the two human pillars of Fedora, Freedom and Friends.<br />
<br />
===== Infra-structure =====<br />
The Fedora Project provides a large infra-structure to support it's community, which can actually be measured in value and volume. If we take into consideration the following:<br />
* Community: The infra-struture oriented for the community. This includes example like [http://planet.fedoraproject.org Planet], wiki, IRC, logistics, etc.<br />
* Fedora Project - FAS, Transifex, git, etc. All the technological platforms that are online with the goal of producing Fedora Linux.<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
===== Smolt =====<br />
<br />
===== LimeSurvey Platform =====<br />
<br />
=== Weaknesses ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
<br />
===== Lack of Contributors =====<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
<br />
===== Resources =====<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Critical Factors for Success ===<br />
<br />
==== User Base ====<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] has established in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base user base] for the future:<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_voluntary_Linux_consumer Voluntary Linux Consumer] - Though the Fedora Project defines clear [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_%28marketing%29 positioning] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_differentiation diferentiation], this might not be clear to all users specially because the promotion lacks of many details regarding about this. To successfully increase penetration rates amongst this users it is imperative that positioning and diferentiation is a part of the message, this can be done through comparative advertisement or using a more subtile approach. Though the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations Fedora Foundations] provide good information regarding positioning and diferentiation (and considering that Fedora Linux inherits the notoriety of Red Hat as a part of it own), [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#First First] and [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#Features Features] might not be enough to translate the correct message about it's positioning and diferentiation. <br />
On one of my first approaches to the Fedora Project, I was told that other FOSS communities like [http://www.opensuse.org openSuSE] and [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu] were 'friends' sharing work for the same goal, FOSS. It is unclear to me on how to perform this goal without facing other distributions as competitors. This is a reachonable goal, but this specific segment demands Fedora Linux to engage other distributions as competitors and 'battle' for this so called '''Voluntary Linux Consumer'''.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_computer-friendly Computer Friendly] - In most cases this '''computer friendly''' concept applied to a Linux user will be deeply related to other kinds of users, for example the '''Voluntary Linux Consumer'''. It is vague enough to provide acceptable results if correctly approached and promoted to this audiences.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_likely_collaborator Potential Collaborator] - This segment can be faced as a sub-segment of any of the other segments presented by the Fedora Project. This is interesting as it denotes the need of the Fedora Project to become self-sustainable based on it's users. If enough efforts are placed on this field to provide easy ramps to the Fedora Project, either by Ambassadorial work or Team oriented, virtually any Fedora user can become a potential contributor in any of the sub-projects provided by the Fedora Project. Once more it's a reachable and realistic goal.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_general_productivity_user General Productivity User] - The Fedora Project presents this segment as an uncomplicated and too vague segment. I find this therm misleading and can be harmful in the future.<br />
<br />
This topic, the future user base displays 4 segments of Community that are deeply inter-connected between themselfs, and in most cases can through one you can fulfil others. From the strategical point of view this segments are so close to each other in some cases that merging them into one could actually provide a better effort to rally methods and means to successfully hit that audience with the correct promotion.<br />
<br />
==== Value Perception by the User ====<br />
<br />
==== Brand Notoriety ====<br />
The Fedora Project inherits much of the notoriety of it's sponsor [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.], and it's generally faced with confort from the audiences it targets.<br />

{{admon/note| Note from the author:| This SWOT Analysis was produced not only to translate the reality of the Fedora Project through my eyes, but also to highlight some methodology that can be useful in the future for anyone willing to give continuity to this work. A SWOT is a tool used by Marketing Management to provide a self assessment of a project or venture and help to provide a good strategy for it. I believe it is an important tool and I will try my best to make it simple and easy to understand.<br />
I'm placing my efforts to translate the Fedora Project reality according to my own conceptions and knowledge about it. I understand the 'community' factor involved, but see it this way: if Fedora Project hired an independent consultant to perform this work, it would also translate their view, not YOURS or the Community or Fedora.}}<br />
<br />
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is a tool to provide a self assessment of a project/organization/venture that provides useful output to help on the strategical planning of the very same project/organization/venture.<br />
This was the very first challenge I proposed myself when I joined Fedora Marketing Group. I've chosen to do this for several reasons, being by far the most important of them the fact that I wanted to understand the project.<br />
<br />
The subject of this document is the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] as a community that produces a product known as [http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora Fedora Linux], one of the most known Linux distributions available for several audiences, from Linux enthusiasts to Software Engineering Professionals, from students to power productivity users, and everyone else who wants to give it a go as an alternative to proprietary software available from several companies.<br />
<br />
To better understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] it is recommended to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations 4 Fedora Foundations], which provide the basis of the [http://projectfedora.org Fedora Project] identity. <br />
Another relevant document to understand the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] is the current developing version of the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan] which presents interesting information regarding several factors of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project], some of this interest factors are:<br />
<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#User_base_of_tomorrow Future User Base];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Spread_the_brand Brand Notoriety];<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan#Build_on-ramps Approach and User Enrolment];<br />
<br />
There are other interesting factors that are introduced in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora Marketing Plan], but I will focus only on the three mentioned above because they are the most complete and relevant for the upcoming contents displayed on this document.<br />
<br />
This document is composed of the following sections:<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Introduction Introduction]''' - A small introduction to the document and the topics to that compose the same.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Internal_Environment Internal Environment Analysis]''' - An analysis to the Internal Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which consists on highlighting and understanding a set of key factors that can be fully controllable by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that will qualify as '''Weaknesses''' and '''Strengths'''. This factors are to be selected as a self-assessment of the project and will be evaluated under a methodology explained later.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#External_Analysis External Analysis]''' - An analysis of the External Environment of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] which will provide a set of key factors, those that can not be in any way controlled by the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and that might act as '''Opportunities''' or '''Threats''' to the project. They will be evaluated under four factors (Economy, Social/Demographic, Politic/Legal and Technological) that will be introduced later on.<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Analysis_and_Proposals_for_Action Analysis and Proposals for Action]''' - The last part of the document will be an analysis from the SWOT itself (including Matrix) with a set of proposals for action to correct the possible points that might require immediate action from the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
* '''[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] & [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Comparative_Analysis Critical Comparative Analysis]''' - This points might not qualify for a typical SWOT Analysis, but they are of relevance and they should be present in this case, therefore I've taken the liberty of introducing them on this document.<br />
<br />
= SWOT Analysis =<br />
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis SWOT Analysis] is often divided in two different analysis, both very important for the strategical planning.<br />
{{Quote|As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.| Julius Caesar}}<br />
* '''External Environment''' - This will define the '''Threats''' and '''Opportunities''' of the Project and none of this factors can be controlled by the management, or in this case the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. The '''External Environment''' is based on the following factors:<br />
** '''Demographic/Social Factors''' - An analysis based on social and demographic factors. Given the nature of the Fedora Project it is also important to look at geographical data.<br />
** '''Technological Factors''' - The technological factors in the Industry.<br />
** '''Politic/Legal Factors''' - Legal and Politic factors. Factors like licensing and legislation are contemplated here.<br />
** '''Economical Factors''' - The economical factors.<br />
<br />
* '''Internal Environment''' - The internal environment provides the '''Strengths''' and '''Weaknesses''' of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project]. All this factors can be controlled by the Fedora Project and they are being evaluated according to:<br />
** '''Men''' - Defines factors related to manpower, this includes contributors, enthusiasts, audience that is involved with Fedora, payed contributors and sponsorship in operational fields.<br />
** '''Measures''' - The course of action taken to achieve the goals proposed, highly theoretical.<br />
** '''Means''' - The operational field that implements '''measures''' on the operational theatre.<br />
** '''Machines''' - The intellectual capital and physical support used to produce Fedora Linux, including infra-structure which is shared with other points.<br />
** '''Methods''' - The methods used to weight '''measures''' and '''means'''.<br />
<br />
The SWOT Analysis should provide information helpful in evaluating the Project's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. This is a instrumental resource in strategy formulation and selection.<br />
<br />
== Internal Environment ==<br />
The Internal Environment Analysis is a self assessment of the Fedora Project based on all the factors that the Fedora Project can control directly. From this Analysis we will identify factors that will classified under '''Strengths''' or '''Weaknesses'''. This factors are to be taken into consideration related to the following aspects:<br />
* Quality and Management<br />
* Performance / Performance Improvements<br />
* Technology<br />
<br />
For the Internal Environment Analysis we will take into consideration the following:<br />
* There is a product called Fedora Linux;<br />
* Infra-structure (physical and intellectual) for this analysis is a part of the 'product' Fedora Linux;<br />
* The group of people, sponsors, contributors, enthusiasts, etc, behind the 'product' Fedora Linux is the Fedora Community;<br />
* The audience is defined by the information on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Fedora's Marketing Plan].<br />
<br />
=== Strengths ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
Men; manpower related (no gender discrimination). This are [http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] strong factors when it comes to manpower. <br />
<br />
===== Payed/Sponsored Contributors/Contributions =====<br />
[http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.], the main sponsor of [http://www.fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] allocates resources to the Fedora Project from their own staff. This is a very positive factor for the Fedora Project as it can deploy in the industry new technology which otherwise would be harder to achieve. The symbiotic relation between Red Hat Inc. and the Fedora Project is one of the factors which strongly contribute to the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations First Foundation] of the Fedora Project.<br />
It is also important to mention that most projects that are represented on Fedora Linux also might have contributions that share this charactristic (ex: [http://kernel.org linux kernel], [http://gnome.org GNOME], [http://kde.org KDE]).<br />
This contributions are important to the current status of many FOSS projects, including Fedora, and represent a strength within the Project Fedora, specially the contributions sponsored by Red Hat.<br />
<br />
===== Volunteer Contributors =====<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] has thousands of volunteer contributors working in several tasks. Everyday thousands of people contribute actively for several sub-projects of Fedora with thousands of hours of dedicated work to make Fedora Linux happen and keep the community growing. Many sub-projects are daily maintained by this people.<br />
This is the real muscle of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] and the real life force behind it, the Fedora's contributors.<br />
<br />
===== The Bazaar Model =====<br />
[[User:Rbergeron|Robyn Bergeron]] introduced me once with [http://catb.org/esr/writings/homesteading/ The Cathedral and the Bazaar]. The model described in the Bazaar is outstanding. The proof that the most sceptic would require are long given. In a matter of manpower this model provides an outstanding solution to fast and feature rich development. This is without doubt the element that solved the manpower problem for many applications, and still does. We should not underestimate the Cathedral building.<br />
[http://fedoraproject.org The Fedora Project] [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] also mentions something interesting: ''general productivity user''. This productivity user is usually something hard to decode. If this user is not computer friendly or Linux enthusiast the Bazaar Model sometimes might fail. A lot is around this "'''general productivity user'''" which at some point might be complicated for the Bazaar Model to handle.<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Marketing Team =====<br />
[[Image:FedoraMarketing.png|right|border|frame|Marketing Team]]<br />
The Fedora Project [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Marketing Team] is responsible for many positive sinergies around the Fedora Project, namely on the Promotion (see [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Promotion Promotion - Marketing Mix) of the Fedora Project.<br />
The Fedora Project Marketing Team also has a very special strategical position working many times as a bridge between different teams and placing a special efforts on Ambassadorial Campaigns and Events.<br />
<br />
===== Translation/Localization Teams =====<br />
The L10N Project is responsible for translation and localization of Fedora Linux and Fedora Infra-Structure for at least 40 different languages worldwide.<br />
The contributions on this area are a Critical Factor for Success, and despite many times the work from this contributors remains un-noticed by the wider audiences, they provide one of the most important strategical factors for user base increase and market penetration.<br />
<br />
===== Design/Artwork Teams =====<br />
[[Image:Artwork_ArtTeamProjects_WikiDesign_ArtTeamN1.png|right|frame|border|Design Team]]<br />
<br />
===== Engineering Teams =====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
[[Image:Ambassadors_Header_AmbassadorsN1.png|right|frame|border|Fedora Ambassadors]]<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors Ambassadors] initiative aims to deploy first line Public Relations and promote the Fedora Project amongst it's established and potential audiences. It is unclear how goals are defined and evaluated from my perspective as they seem to operate in a very closed group on a fully armoured structure.<br />
The work developed by Ambassadors in many fields, specially on event production and promotion is to be pointed as a '''strength''' and a critical factor for success (discussed on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#Critical_Factors_for_Success Critical Factors for Success] more in-depth).<br />
<br />
===== Events (FAD's, FUDCon's, etc) =====<br />
The ammount of events where the fedoraproject itself or Individuals are present.<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
<br />
===== Free Media Program =====<br />
<br />
===== Public Mirror System =====<br />
<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
Machines; These should be faced as every tool used to produce something in the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project].<br />
<br />
===== Sponsorship =====<br />
My approach to sponsorship is generic, it is widely known that [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.] is the official sponsor of the Fedora Project. But in the scope of this SWOT Analysis I would like also to keep an importance on the following:<br />
* Red Hat Inc; The main sponsor of the Fedora Project and Industry leader. This creates very good synergies and energies on the Fedora Community. Considering symbiotic bond between Red Hat and the Fedora Project it is realistic to say that Fedora Linux has high notoriety and recognized value by the target audiences (defined in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan]).<br />
* Hosting sponsors; This sponsorship is important not only for the Community Infra-Structure but also for the free circulation of contents throughout several communities and FOSS projects. I would also like to mention that official Fedora Mirrors should also be contemplated as hosting sponsors. All together they deploy not only the Fedora Community infra-structure but also enable a powerful distribution channel for Fedora Linux.<br />
* Mirrors: To all the local and international mirrors which allow such a great distribution channel.<br />
* Human; Every single person that donates a part of their personal time to the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
It is through a wide set of sponsorships measurable in value and volume that the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] strives for providing a technological leading Linux distribution. Through this sponsorships I believe that most people will find the two human pillars of Fedora, Freedom and Friends.<br />
<br />
===== Infra-structure =====<br />
The Fedora Project provides a large infra-structure to support it's community, which can actually be measured in value and volume. If we take into consideration the following:<br />
* Community: The infra-struture oriented for the community. This includes example like [http://planet.fedoraproject.org Planet], wiki, IRC, logistics, etc.<br />
* Fedora Project - FAS, Transifex, git, etc. All the technological platforms that are online with the goal of producing Fedora Linux.<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
===== Smolt =====<br />
<br />
===== LimeSurvey Platform =====<br />
<br />
=== Weaknesses ===<br />
==== Men ====<br />
<br />
===== Lack of Contributors =====<br />
<br />
==== Means ====<br />
<br />
===== Ambassadors =====<br />
<br />
==== Methods ====<br />
==== Machines ====<br />
<br />
===== Resources =====<br />
<br />
==== Measurables ====<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Critical Factors for Success ===<br />
<br />
==== User Base ====<br />
The [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] has established in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan Marketing Plan] the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base user base] for the future:<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_voluntary_Linux_consumer Voluntary Linux Consumer] - Though the Fedora Project defines clear [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_%28marketing%29 positioning] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_differentiation diferentiation], this might not be clear to all users specially because the promotion lacks of many details regarding about this. To successfully increase penetration rates amongst this users it is imperative that positioning and diferentiation is a part of the message, this can be done through comparative advertisement or using a more subtile approach. Though the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations Fedora Foundations] provide good information regarding positioning and diferentiation (and considering that Fedora Linux inherits the notoriety of Red Hat as a part of it own), [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#First First] and [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations#Features Features] might not be enough to translate the correct message about it's positioning and diferentiation. <br />
On one of my first approaches to the Fedora Project, I was told that other FOSS communities like [http://www.opensuse.org openSuSE] and [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu] were 'friends' sharing work for the same goal, FOSS. It is unclear to me on how to perform this goal without facing other distributions as competitors. This is a reachonable goal, but this specific segment demands Fedora Linux to engage other distributions as competitors and 'battle' for this so called '''Voluntary Linux Consumer'''.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_computer-friendly Computer Friendly] - In most cases this '''computer friendly''' concept applied to a Linux user will be deeply related to other kinds of users, for example the '''Voluntary Linux Consumer'''. It is vague enough to provide acceptable results if correctly approached and promoted to this audiences.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_likely_collaborator Potential Collaborator] - This segment can be faced as a sub-segment of any of the other segments presented by the Fedora Project. This is interesting as it denotes the need of the Fedora Project to become self-sustainable based on it's users. If enough efforts are placed on this field to provide easy ramps to the Fedora Project, either by Ambassadorial work or Team oriented, virtually any Fedora user can become a potential contributor in any of the sub-projects provided by the Fedora Project. Once more it's a reachable and realistic goal.<br />
* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base_-_general_productivity_user General Productivity User] - The Fedora Project presents this segment as an uncomplicated and too vague segment. I find this therm misleading and can be harmful in the future.<br />
<br />
This topic, the future user base displays 4 segments of Community that are deeply inter-connected between themselfs, and in most cases can through one you can fulfil others. From the strategical point of view this segments are so close to each other in some cases that merging them into one could actually provide a better effort to rally methods and means to successfully hit that audience with the correct promotion.<br />
<br />
==== Value Perception by the User ====<br />
<br />
==== Brand Notoriety ====<br />
The Fedora Project inherits much of the notoriety of it's sponsor [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat Inc.], and it's generally faced with confort from the audiences it targets.<br />
The reputation of Fedora Linux and Fedora Project amongst their [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SWOT#User_Base user base] can be generally understood as a excellent.<br />
{{admon/tip|for the future...|Not developing much based on 'general assumptions'. For the future when a data mining platform is available (ex: LimeSurvey) we can develop more on this field based on qualitative information to be gathered.}}<br />
<br />
==== Channels of Distribution ====<br />
For any organization to deploy it's products successfully it requires good channels of distribution. In this field the Fedora Project's efforts have been worderfull and everything just works, on either providing software DVD/CD ISO's and also as deploying improvements and software updates.<br />
* Online Software Repositories > <br />
* RPMFusion ><br />
* Public Mirrors Network > <br />
* Free Media Program > <br />
* P2P Networks ><br />
* User Sharing ><br />

For this document we will use the "4 Ps" methodology for the Marketing Mix analysis. Currently new theories have developed new methodologies in this field that can push the original "4 Ps" up to 11 Ps and in one particular to 15 Ps. I am not aware on the current Academy decisions on this field, so I'm going to use the very basic approach of the 4Ps.<br />

As of 03/04/2010, need to verify whether this wiki page format is acceptable and this layout is esthetically pleasing for display.<br />
<br />
The following content has about three different layouts:<br />

#table, and<br />
#graphical.<br />
<br />
Food for thought, pick and choose as you deem appropriate. :)<br />

Make the gallery appropriate for display.<br />
<br />
Screenshots of upcoming Fedora Releases should be (if possible) ready-made 1-2 weeks before the actual Release date so that journalists can use them.<br />
<br />
Make sure to use good prefixes like "F13_screenshot000_desc.png" for later easy finding.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
This is a [[:Category:Marketing SOPs|Marketing SOP]] that describes how to create a [[Press kit]] for Fedora (usually for a Fedora release).<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
<br />
You can see examples of past press kits at [[Press kit]].<br />
<br />
=== Typical contents ===<br />
<br />
Press kits usually have the following materials within them. They are typically remixes of existing marketing materials/deliverables.<br />
<br />
* '''Background module''' with information on the project (if specific) and/or the Fedora Project itself ; this can - but if possible not - covered by inclusion of the [[One page release notes]].<br />
* '''Feature module''' listing specific features, statistics, etc. on the project or the current release - this is also typically covered by inclusion of the [[One page release notes]].<br />
* '''Past press coverage''' - lists of news coverage the project has recently gotten.<br />
* '''Photos and images''' of people, logos, products, etc. (high resolution)<br />
* '''A press release''' detailing the current news the media kit is sent in reference to<br />
* '''Media contact information''' (usually of a public relations department or spokesperson)<br />
* '''Demo media''' (optional) - A USB-Stick, CD, DVD, Software title, video, etc. as appropriate for the sender of the release.<br />
<br />
=== Typical deliverable formats ===<br />
<br />
Press kits are usually delivered in hard copy format. Various pdf files are printed and placed in a folder that can either be handed out to press at the event in question, or mailed to news agencies and PR offices. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, press kits also contain a CD/DVD or USB-Stick with the content modules in an electronic form. A Fedora LiveCD/DVD/USB may also be included.<br />
<br />
Henrik wrote a [http://www.braincache.de/wp/2010/04/05/fedora-presskit/ blog post] showing examples of (non-Fedora) press kits he's found in the past, along with an analysis of what they contain, for a more concrete picture of what press kits look like in the wild.<br />
<br />
== Instructions ==<br />
<br />
=== Identify the contact person ===<br />
<br />
Figure out who will be the contact person for the event you're planning to distribute the press kit at, and get their contact information. If you'll be mailing the kit to journalists instead of taking them to an event, you'll still need a contact person for the recipients of the kit to contact with questions.<br />
<br />
A good default is [mailto:press@fedoraproject.org press@fedoraproject.org], which goes to the current FPL as well as someone from the Red Hat PR team. In the future, we'd like to work on making this process more transparent/visible to the rest of the community as well.<br />
<br />
=== Identify the modules ===<br />
<br />
Look at the list of [[#Typical contents]] and decide what materials you'll be including. Try not to make new content unless you have to; [[Marketing#Release deliverables|existing release deliverables]] are made to be remixable and combinable for exactly this sort of thing.<br />
<br />
Create a new subsection in the press kit wiki page for the release you're working on. For instance, if you're working on a F13 press kit, add your list of modules to a new section in [[Fedora 13 press kit]].<br />
<br />
=== Lay out the content for printing ===<br />
<br />
Take the modules you've decided to include and lay them out in pdf format for printing. Inkscape and OpenOffice are usually good tools for this; if you need expert design assistance, ask the [[Design|design team]] for help.<br />
<br />
Link to the printable pdf versions from the module list on the press kit wiki page you've created, so others can take and remix them later.<br />
<br />
=== Print and assemble ===<br />
<br />
This is fairly simple - go to a print shop and have the pdfs you created turned into hardcopy format, then stuff the materials into folders. The [[Ambassadors]] team is often helpful with event logistics, including printing and delivery, and also has funds for events they may be able to budget press kit production costs into.<br />
<br />
=== Deliver and distribute ===<br />
<br />
Figure out the logistics of getting the press kits to the actual event, and make sure they get handed out to the appropriate event attendees. Again, the [[Ambassadors]] team may be helpful here, though you may have to specify these deliverables are for journalists only, rather than members of the general public.<br />
<br />
=== Follow up ===<br />
<br />
Prepare for follow-up questions from members of the press who have received the press kits you've created. Respond in a timely manner via email or phone, pointing them to publicly available resources when possible (wiki, etc). Encourage journalists to ask questions of the [[Marketing]] team - the mailing list is a good place to lurk for reporters looking to keep a closer eye on upcoming Fedora news.<br />
<br />
== Improve this SOP! ==<br />
<br />
If you see a way to improve this SOP, please go ahead and edit the page - you don't need to ask for anyone's permission. Read more [[:Category:Marketing_SOPs#How_to_contribute|about our contribution philosophy here]].<br />
