#279 Fedora distribution related information on the fedora website
Closed: Fixed Opened by ankursinha.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

The ways of receiving fedora as mentioned on the website are out of sync. For instance, the "Sponsored media program" isn't active any more but is still mentioned [http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora-all here]. I've written a draft of what the distribution process should be like and placed it [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Fedora_Freemedia_Start here]. I'll request the websites team to please update the site accordingly. It would be great if the pages could be made a part of the main fp.o site and the links dynamic. One can easily bookmark the pages on the wiki, defeating the purpose of the desired flow.

If discussion on the workflow is required, please let me know and I'll take it up with the required people. This is an important defect since the current information on how people can get fedora is erroneous.

So that section was removed from the website [1].

If I read everything correctly, there are 3 alternative options besides downloading it:

  1. Fedora Freemedia Program
  2. Fedora Event
  3. Local Contacts

Reviewing the get-fedora-all page, we have all of these methods noted as alternatives, although, it could be cleaned up a bit and be more clear.

Thanks. There is another way, other than the three listed: You missed out the '''vendors''' :)

We would like them to not be flatly listed on the site. Rather, we'd want them to be made available to the user in the format I've drafted here: [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Fedora_Freemedia_Start]

We're trying to do this to ensure that someone seeking fedora is '''guided through the various channels''': download, vendors, local contacts and then finally the freemedia program, in this order.

Thanks,
Ankur

We should not forget to list this channel in our new layout.

We have this information also on getfedora.org now.
