| == Relationship with Fedora Ambassadors ==
| |
|
| |
| * Free Media was originally created by concerned members of the [[Ambassadors| Fedora Ambassadors Project]] in an effort to deliver Fedora installation media to more users.
| |
| * The Free Media and [[Distribution/SponsoredMedia| Sponsored Media]] programs work directly with Fedora Ambassadors to advance the spread of Fedora.
| |
| * The Ambassadors Project supports the Free Media program and works to provide free Fedora installation media to those who could not otherwise afford it.
| |
| * The Ambassadors Project laid the groundwork for the Free Media program from a desire to spread Fedora to as many people as possible.
| |
|
| |
| == Guidelines ==
| |
|
| |
| * Limit to only 1 DVD per request per person per release to cut cost and time.
| |
| * Please note this is a volunteer initiative by local Fedora Ambassadors or Contributors who are willing to burn DVDs and ship them with their own resources (DVD writer, blank media, shipping materials and postage).
| |
| * This means they can only ship a limited number of DVDs per week. You can expect them to send out an average of 2 DVDs a week.
| |
| * Your Free Media request might not be fulfilled at this time as this program depends on their own time and expenses.
| |
| * If you're a Fedora Ambassador or Fedora Contributor, you will not receive any DVD via this program.
| |
| * Please note we can't ship media to U.S. embargoed or restricted destinations. See [[Legal/Export| Fedora Export Control Product Matrix]]
| |
|
| |
| == Available Media ==
| |
|
| |
| * Fedora x86 DVD and x86 LiveCD
| |
| * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/CDArt
| |
|
| |
| == How the Program Works ==
| |
|
| |
| * When a user submits a request for a DVD or LiveCD via the Free Media Request form, the request will be sent to a mailing list.
| |
| * When the request reaches the mailing list, it will be reviewed and discussed among members of the list.
| |
| * Each member in the list will be responsible to fulfill the Free Media Request for your country.
| |
| * You may also accept requests from other countires other than your country.
| |
| * If you accept the request, please type '''I accept this request''' in the body when you reply to the request.
| |
| * It's not necessary but if you wish to confirm the request to the user, please remove the instruction from the body to avoid the confusion.
| |
| * '''IMPORTANT''' Please do not change the original subject in the email as we track all requests by the subject thread.
