Hm, I could have benefited from discussing what the meaning of 
'marketing' actually is for Free software, especially now I read there 
is a fedora-marketing list.  How does this fit in with the current 
project goals, is it a mild, budgetless advocacy concept or a gung-ho 
tattooed-on-the-forehead self flagellating squad of jihadis that raid 
corporate offices for re-education of the inhabitants, how that crosses 
over with RHEL / Redhat Desktop traditional marketing, what the metric 
is for 'success' on Fedora marketing, how it can even be measured given 
the inherent redistribution, etc.
