5tftw, 2015-11-06

[Justin W. Flory]

Hello all,

Below are some beginning suggestions I had for the next 5tftw
publication. I'm not sure if we're planning on one for this week since
it's going to be fairly packed (maybe better reason to definitely do
one?) but in either case, I believe this content would be good to report
on for the next publication.

=========
Fedora 23
=========
I think this one is pretty straightforward so I won't do an explanation,
but I think it might be a good idea to make this a summary of good
technical changes and good community stuff.

=======================
Fedora Developer Portal
=======================
On November 2nd, the Fedora Developer Portal [1] was released to the
public. In short, the portal supports developers working on software
projects with Fedora or inside a virtual machine. It's a central hub for
numerous resources to help both new and current developers set up their
workspaces for new projects. You can read more in the announcement post. [2]

==========================================
Fedora Outreachy Application Window Closed
==========================================
On Monday, November 2nd, the Fedora Outreachy internship [3] application
period officially ended. Fedora was seeking to fill two positions in the
Project, one to assist on development of the upcoming Fedora Hubs [4]
web application and another to assist with community operations [5].
Selection decisions will be posted on November 17th! Best of luck to all
of our applicants.

I know this past week's 5tftw had a snippet about Outreachy, so you can
use your best judgement as to whether or not it should be mentioned
again this upcoming week.

I really feel like this is sniping off the obvious, but hopefully it
serves as a good starter for the upcoming post. Thanks all!

Nice work jflory!

I'm directly cc'ing mattdm, whom should be happy to have a trove of content
for this week, and/or next if he'd like.

If you wanted to, you could take each of those blurbs, and add them
individually as drafts on the commblog to front-load our queue?

Looking Forward,
--RemyD.

I already added the Developer Portal article shortly after our meeting 
today, but I also converted that blurb about Outreachy to a short blurb 
on the CommBlog. It just needs a featured image now, as far as I know, 
before it would be ready for publication.

I'll leave the F23 to someone else to make a summary if they'd like to 
spearhead that - I imagine at this point it would likely just be trying 
to shave down the release announcement to a couple of sentences?

jflory7,

You can likely just grab the Outreachy Logo and use that as the Featured
image:

Happy Hacking,

Done and done - actually fits pretty well with the CommBlog theme.

Thanks Justin! I was planning to do one around the end of the week.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the things you've covered are already on my
tentative list. That's not bad, but maybe we should find somewhere to
make that a shared document rather than a text file which lives on my
system, because I hate to see duplicated effort.

FWIW, the other items I'm looking at are the FOSDEM Distro Devroom
CFP, the G11N FAD, and Khmer translation sprint (those last two
possibly under one point).

Are there any tools that already exist within the project that might 
simplify this process? The one thing that stands in my mind that will 
make writing these *10x easier* would be the CommBlog once it gets 
rolling. Even just looking at the list of articles in the drafts 
already, these would make great snippets to pull from to feed 5tftw.

I imagine the CommBlog might make a good starting point for the G11N 
FAD... not to try to push that previous point any further. :P

Wiki? Or an etherpad — Fedora doesn't run a server but it's fairly
common to use https://www.piratepad.ca/ or similar. Either way, just a
page that people (including me) update with ideas for upcoming 5tFTW,
and then I'll clear out the ones I use.

+1 on the etherpad.

I often use http://etherpad.osusol.org, but I think piratepad has a
non-broken export function ;)

In the meanwhile, I've populated that Etherpad with the paragraphs I 
sent along with some of the other talking points Matthew mentioned.
