User stories

See sample stories at User:Asamaras/Fedora_Success_stories.

Desktop users

 * also OO project management and Database are cool
 * tour of Fedora by a 4/5/6/7 year old
 * using fedora as a home media server, keeping your music library or whatever there
 * kids at home playing internet-based games...
 * maybe someone putting together a cheap workstation for their kids etc.
 * fedora for designers (tablet meme!)
 * fedora for audio geeks (we have an audio/music list, podcasting, etc)
 * mobiles
 * using fedora to read my emailz with xyz
 * using PIM
 * also doing some thing based on the special fedora packages .. the robotics or whatever
 * ooh, yeah - the Mini SIG, the Moblin spin!

IT

 * Olinux - college sysadmin created custom version of Fedora for dual-booting all engineering student laptops (both an IT story and a student-user/new-user story)
 * the Fedora Insight deployment is a Fedora user story, imo - being able to package stuff up, work with the community to deploy it, etc. is the *only* thing that's going to make FI possible to deploy and maintain
 * using fedora to run a phpbb server
 * mail server
 * listserv
 * apache

Contributors

 * I think the "ianweller teaches professors at POSSE how to make packages" is a good one both in terms of "cool story" and "zomg this is hard for smart new contributors plz can haz make easier"
 * how FWN works
 * sdziallas's story of getting involved with the edu sig - maybe a few stories here, incl. making SoaS based on Fedora
 * "I found this bug and I reported it and look it got fixed" (qa/dev story)
 * "I packaged foobar in Fedora and suddenly my foobar program had a lot more users"
 * i found a bug and made a patch, also
 * I think bug-reporting needs at least 2 stories - one from someone who is a dev who could fix it, one from someone who isn't a developer
 * "how the 1-page release notes were made" (this can more or less copy-paste Mo's blog post, methinks)
 * for that matter, "how the website was redesigned"
 * something docs related?
 * and translations
 * maybe the story of a translation sprint
 * or a "wow, this is the first time I've used an operating system in my native language" story
 * the "how transifex got started" story is also a really good one
 * Luke Macken on "how we made moksha" might also be a winner
 * even the PackageKit story from last week might be good "here's how we deal with issues"
