This page is part of the instructions on joining the Fedora marketing project. Please see that page for an overview of where this fits into the process.
Part of joining the Marketing team is introducing yourself to the Marketing mailing list. This will give people a chance to get to know you and help you get started.
A template to help you write your introduction email is below. Feel free to write your own email if this template doesn't meet your needs - basically, we are looking to learn:
- Your name
- Your FAS account username
- Your background/skills
- What you're interested in doing within Fedora Marketing
