Hi,
I think it would be a good idea to make an series of small stickers like our "powered by Fedora" one is. The purpose would be that we can put good word what we the community has created, or using to create Fedora - instead of "powered by" I would like to replace with " I use" or "We use". We have nice logo for Bodhi, Koji, Dnf or others. This will provide on my (or on others laptop) more attention, and questions towards to the event ambassadors.
Opinions?
I think it's a good idea. I'm trying to collect requirements from Ambassadors first, and then we can begin working on them - the mktg and design teams and so on.
Please see my mail to the ambassadors list here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ambassadors/2015-June/023543.html
I don't think our infrastructure tools for building packages like bodhi or koji are really something that would have appeal to potential users at conferences that ambassadors would encounter. I think it would make more sense to promote more user-facing pieces of software.
Who would use the stickers? What would they put the stickers on? What are you trying to build awareness of, exactly?

I agree with you Mo, user-facing pieces of softwares are important, but I would like to make something that can be visible, cheaply reproducible and proudly show that "this is what we are, these are our projects". We Fedora people contributing so much to the Linux ecosystem, but I think outside Fedora no one really knows it. Earlier I have made badges successfully with Nicu for F13 - eg. https://zoltanh721.fedorapeople.org/fedora-badge-03.png, so I thought would be nice to have badge, or sticker, pin or such for dnf, developer assistant or other invention, upstream change, that grabs people attention, can associate with us. Maybe sticker is not the best choice, but I feel so.
I have digged around with this theme, and I think what I would like to reach with this, is not quite that what I imagined. But I think, if I think on badges - we have already plenty of them within Fedora badges - but when we would like to have some awareness around some projects, or what the hacker personally actively interested or do - actually we can have some of them on tshirts, like scouts do. What is more interesting, these kind of patches, that are iron-on versions are not expensive, 4 bucks at Adafruit (eg. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1300) - so I think, there is a good chance that we can turn them those badges into a gift, or a nice exclusive thing that people can have it on their t-shirts. Thoughts? Comments?
Is there any update about this ticket? If not I'll close as wontfix.
Thanks
