FedoraForum announced at FedoraNews.org

[mhelios]

Hi folks.

I'd like to announce that the good folks over at FedoraNews have added an introduction of our growing web-based community here at Fedora Forum to their weekly/bi-weekly newsletter. :)

Check out the announcement:
http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue6.shtml

Let's hope it sparks a surge in memberships to continue on our goals of creating a solid web based Fedora community support haven.

:p i just email thomas couple munites ago since i havent chat with him for a while :p but thanks matt :)

[Bana]

Thats how Im here, maybe someone should announce it on the mailing lists? As I didn't know of this place till the newsletter.

I've just been looking at the forum statistics, and it's enough to make me cry with joy in terms of new members joining:

15/02/04: 2
16/02/04: 1
17/02/04: 1
18/02/04: 29

Hopefully that means we can grow, and serve the community in the way we intend too.

BTW, Thomas has given a link to this forum @ Fedoranews.org

[ewdi]

yeah, i notice that, wondering if he would stop by :p

[Ug]

We're the only purely Fedora forums on the net aren't we?

There's a german fedora forum at fedoraforum.de (http://www.fedoraforum.de) :rolleyes:

[Ug]

I don't understand it. :(

I think being in English language, we'll reach a wider base of people.

[ewdi]

well the point is we are here to help fellow fedora users :)

Heh, I think this was my fault with an email to the two main fedora lists:

In case anyone missed the announcement on the Fedora News Update #6, The Fedora Forum is now open at http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/ please join and browse as the more the merrier.

I hope I didn't jump the gun or anything. :)

[ewdi]

hahahah, we got to get bana some tux :p

[Bana]

Heheh, although a shirt would be better as i already have a 4'', 12x 6'', 18'' and a 36'' (my family is quite obsessed :rolleyes: )

FedoraNews is where I found this place. It's a quality site.

If you're looking for more places to annouce, maybe on the #fedora IRC channel on freenode.net.

[mhelios]

Jman,

I've been pondering this. I may ask one of the ops if they'd generously announce us in the topic for #fedora..

[Ug]

I've yet to frequent the IRC network. I have a nasty feeling that "Ug" is already registered... :(

[mhelios]

Nope, I think it isn't. So feel free to hop aboard and claim that one. NickServ will tell you if it is anywho..

[Ug]

I'll do that later, I have been meaning to frequent the server.

[Avatraxiom]

Well, the FAQ is linked in the topic of #fedora, and soon the FAQ will list this fine place as "Forum", so that should help. :-) Also, I'm close with the #fedora folks, and I can probably get us linked in the /topic if it doesn't cause too much topic bloat. (We already have the world's longest topic in the channel. :D )

I can probably get us linked in the /topic if it doesn't cause too much topic bloat. (We already have the world's longest topic in the channel. )

That'd be great. Ug and I previously tried, but were told there wasn't any more room in /topic. Heh, should have guessed that!

[Ug]

Rejection isn't a good thing.

[Avatraxiom]

I think it might be best if #fedora channel folk find the Forum through the FAQ anyhow -- since then they will have read the FAQ first.
