#21 Create a plan with Red Hat mktg/brand/PR on how we'll interface with them for F12

Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by mchua.

We should tap the resources of Red Hat Brand and Marketing, and Red Hat PR, for Fedora Marketing.

Talk with these folks and get the Marketing community in on the loop on whatever plans come out of it - we're not sure what will happen with this, but we'll find out soon...

I'm in Raleigh and will be stopping by Marketing and Brand this week.

In particular, I need to be asking in general about https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/MarketingPlan and more specifically about these questions from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_research#Questions_to_Answer.

Does Red Hat have any research that could legally be shared with Fedora (maybe a small group of people, or have one person be a gateway - ie: The Gateway person collects questions, and then asks RH market research folks (are there any??) if they can provide answers).
Does anyone have any contacts at any major PC / Server vendors (the usual suspects - Dell, HP, IBM, Sun, and the like) that would be a good starting point to see if they would participate in surveys about shipments? We would need a good blurb about why it would be important to participate and what they would get out of it (ie, they are good community participants, it helps them develop a broader market, they get access and input to free research, etc.)

Answer to #1: Not at the moment, but we're continuing to look for opportunities to partner here.

Answer to #2: We don't know yet.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to have an upstream "community marketing for open source projects" community.
