== What we do ==
{{Team contact|Marketing|marketing|#fedora-mktg}}
 
The short version: The '''Fedora Marketing Team''' ensures that people in Fedora can consistently explain to everyone what Fedora is, why the project can help them, and how they can help the project.
 
Slightly longer version: The Fedora Marketing Team develops and executes marketing strategies to promote the usage and support of Fedora worldwide. Through the development of processes and content, this project aims to support the efforts of other Fedora projects to spread Fedora and to provide a central repository of ideas and information that can be used to deliver Fedora to new audiences. We work closely with the [[Ambassadors|Fedora Ambassadors]] who spread the word about Fedora at events and allow the Fedora Project to interact directly with its existing and prospective users.
 
== What's happening ==
 
Fedora operates on a [[time based release schedule]]. So does Fedora Marketing. We go through several successive phases during each 6-month release cycle, and every phase has different milestones and tasks that you can help with. Check out [[/Schedule]] to see where we are and what you can help with ''right now.''
