[Mageia-marketing] Other ideas

[Josh King (dotmil)]

I know everyone is busy with the installer texts and images. 
Unfortunately that's not my strong suit so I haven't had much to add.

What I do have is some ideas I would like feedback and comments on 
before we have another mageiapeople.org fiasco. The 2 main ideas I have are

1) a newsletter - biweekly or whatever frequency fits to update 
subscribers on whats new in Magia. It would also be a good place for 
developer/team member interviews, and maybe a "howto" section. I don't 
claim to be a writer by any means so this would need to be a 
collaborative effort

2) A Mageia news site. A very close friend of mine started this with 
Debian news years ago and it has grown into one of the more respected 
tech sites, I could see this could duplicate content from the mailing 
letter, but also maybe include weekly updates on the discussions on 
-discuss,  -dev, etc. for those who may be interested.

I'm just spit balling here but I really think we need to put forth the 
effort to market Mageia around the 2 release and after, Hopefully these 
ideas get the ball rolling. I'd be thrilled to hear they're great, but 
am prepared to be shot down again if so be it. I'd LOVE to hear from 
others on how to market mageia beyond the occasional announcement on the 
news sites around the web. Mageia is amazing and people need to know that!

So what do you think of 1 or 2, and what are your suggestions for more 
ideas?

Thanks!
Josh
