For increasing exposure of Fedora as an open source, alternative solution to the public and charity sectors for improving citizen engagement by agencies and organizations. 
In an effort to benefit Fedora, Netizen's marketing goal is to expose the [[spin]] project to new users not yet targeted such as:


* Activists
* Political Advocates
* Volunteers
* Researchers
In addition, organizations and institutions in the public and charity sectors are ideal entities for gaining new users and new installations. The following are Netizen potentials:
* Government Agencies
* Political Action Committees
* Nonprofit Organizations
* Research Institutes
As development continues, new types of users, organizations, and sectors may be identified for maximizing future marketing efforts of Netizen and its beneficial features as an ideal operating system and open source software solution.
