Larry Cafiero<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012941.html</ref> has forwarded a message from one computer store offering Fedora pre-installed, and this seller wanted to be listed on wiki as there are list for other people selling Fedora disks. This has started a thread  that probably will lead to distribution pages<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution</ref> to be updated.
=== SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future ===


Paul Frields shared and idea for feature story<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012944.html</ref>. This was later picked up by Robyn Bergeron<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012968.html</ref> who suggested more ideas, so we can keep a continuous flow of contend. This also is an opportunity for newcomers to participate in marketing team. You can see the list of suggested interviews<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_interviews</ref> and start creating a wonderful story.

Lars Delhage brought back the Fedora Marketing Book Club<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012959.html</ref>. The book club  wants to share one recommendation for reading and then have an IRC discussionBook List include those that may be helpful for Marketing Open Source projects. The will be one book for every month and June will be “The Starfish And The Spider”Everybody is welcomed to the book club<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Book_Club</ref>, not just marketing members as was pointed also in another mail by Robyn Bergeron<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012960.html</ref>.
"As you probably know, I've been hanging around Fedora for a few years nowI helped improve the events that Fedora attends by creating the Fedora EventBoxIt's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSWI would like to thank Mo, Emily, Spot, Jared and anyone else who helped make the booththere awesome!


Marketing team has a new head starting on June 1st. Robyn Bergeron will be now team leader as was announced by Mel Chua<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012937.html

Finally we have MMM – Marketing Meeting Minutes<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-06-01/marketing_meeting.2010-06-01-20.00.html</ref>, and I think this new name may stick.
But there's more we can do with this, and that's where I think the value lies. For one, it is cool that each participant get's a nice little card printed right there with a QR code so they can go retrieve it. But it would also be nice to let them share their photos on social networking sites like Facebook, identi.ca, foursquare, twitter, etc. I can also see gaining contributors from this concept, in that they are now 'part' of Fedora's legacy.   Maybe having them show up on the FedoraProject front page when an event is happening?  I seriously think that this is stuff that everyone in Fedora would love."

SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future

Clint Savage discussed[1] strategies for making the "SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future" more universal to FAmNA events.

"As you probably know, I've been hanging around Fedora for a few years now. I helped improve the events that Fedora attends by creating the Fedora EventBox. It's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSW. I would like to thank Mo, Emily, Spot, Jared and anyone else who helped make the booththere awesome!

But there's more we can do with this, and that's where I think the value lies. For one, it is cool that each participant get's a nice little card printed right there with a QR code so they can go retrieve it. But it would also be nice to let them share their photos on social networking sites like Facebook, identi.ca, foursquare, twitter, etc. I can also see gaining contributors from this concept, in that they are now 'part' of Fedora's legacy. Maybe having them show up on the FedoraProject front page when an event is happening? I seriously think that this is stuff that everyone in Fedora would love."
