Ambassador can help greatly in bringing out what is marketing doing. Ambassadors/Students/Newcomers interested in some real marketing stuff can add their questions to the queue^[5].

Our search is on for ambassadors/students who would be interested in working on marketing deliverables.

Fedora Insight updates

Three words: "Workflow is settled". Thanks to Robyn Bergeron. The workflow will be posted soon ^[6].

Technical Zikula deployment is going very rapidly.

Marketing-fu++

Please add your valuable comments on the marketing plan^[7] before Mel goes ahead and discusses it with RedHat folks.

Sugar Labs's Sean Daly will be coming in for a Fedora Classroom session on Marketing for open source projects when he gets back from vacation(expecting him to be back by this week or the next)

Marketing Research

While fedora-centric style of research continues with its own importance, ideas & opinions were expressed on community-style research where the research benefits not only the fedora users but also those developing open-spurce projects in general. An open-source market research repository might also be started to help foster the whole community of OSS.
