[Mageia-marketing] Showcasing technology and people

as i have already told you in the previous e-mail, i think we first need to 
setup a complete marketing plan that will driver our everyday action. For 
istance, in these blog posts you could have these issues:

what users can find in Mageia -> who are our users? which features they will 
expect? are we able to provide them?

- what people can do with Mageia (what gets done with it in the real world out 
there) -> what kind of people? depending on the people we adress to, it 
changes the work of the user

if we don't have clear these aspects, we will be only ANOTHER linux distro, 
and i wan't that this happens.

i think that until now blog posts about development progress should be enough, 
otherwise we risk to do all the errors the most of the distro do everyday... 

cheers,
Marcello
