<PRE>I just sent a message to the general Mageia ML and was told that the
marketing list is a more appropriate place for the issue - ashes on my
head: me and marketing ...
My point is on "community marketing" - spreading the good news about
Mageia between users. When I try to convince a colleage about the merits
of Mageia I need arguments - evidently I have them, otherwise I would
not use Mageia. But being convinced about Mageia, and having a
convincing list of "sellable" arguments at my fingertips are two
different things. My suggestion is to compile a short but striking list
of arguments as a base that can be used when, all at sudden - you want
to convince a fellow user.
I think that the present time is very appropriate moment for this
user-to-user publicity campaign: technically Mageia is "ready", formally
the launch and the - I guess - planned PR campaign are still 2 months away.
Probably the list would best be compiled by collecting ideas and
arguments in this or some other ML, but doing some central editing to
keep it well focused and snappy. Another question is how to make it
available - probably the preliminary wiki or the blog are good places.

---- original message to the mageia discuss list -------
Does a list exist which enumerates arguments in favour of selecting
Mageia when choosing a Linux distribution? - a vademecum for Mageia
addicts for proselyte making.
When advocating Mageia, it would be nice not to have to invent the same
list somebody else compiled a couple of days ago, just for himself, and
would be nice to know the striking arguments oneself did not think about.
I just saw on our Linux ML in the university a debate (k)Ubuntu or Mint
or ... - nice occasion to drop the good message. I think the present
time is an excellent moment: even if the distro says "only for testing",
Beta is mature for production - anticipate the campaign certainly
planned for the official launch by an "insider campaign". Some
organising of spreading the gospel will certainly help.
