<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">Hi,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">We have been done similar in ancient times, it was callled dailypackages what name has been taken over by myself, because the original Chris Tyler's blog series content is dead since 2008. But still can be found some remaining fragments at source. [1]<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">If you check it, you see that every post is goes around an specific theme (Artsy Tuesday, Productive Monday, etc) , so with that if we copy the method - we can cover every group activity, and everyone can select one "candy" within his interest. Also if possible, I would like to add not only news about new codes (Fedora Hosted projects), else QA testing news, how-to's and perhaps requests too as a developers/engineers "corner" page. Under requests I would like to see callings for tasks - Like we are looking for xy workgroup testing, or set or write documentation, or whaterver. Also if you add some contests, and rare stuff (1 fedora keyboard, mice, keychain, etc) as a contest if the task is done, we can have our own Fedora Summer of Code slowly, and more better code. <br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">With these touches, we can achieve more active community, more feedback, and the marketing team can be the backup for ambassadors, feedback of the teams, and the contact with the PR.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">HTH with my ideas.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">Zoltan<br>

</div></div><p dir="ltr">I like it. At first I thought "$EXPLETIVE, I hope this isn't suggesting we pipe the planet feed into the Magazine just to have more content!". Weekly features is ideal. It wouldn't be a good idea to lean too heavily on a small group of bloggers though, even if their posts are consistently more suited to the venue.</p>

</div><p dir="ltr">Something like "*New* Package of the Week" would be interesting too. It would have the side benefit of being more likely to include and involve newly sponsored packagers.</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
