Community Blog Python 3 FAD Article

[Justin W. Flory]

Hello all,

Thanks to Matt's quick responses to the interview questions, I was able
to write up a preliminary draft of an article for the Community Blog
about the upcoming Fedora Activity Day for Python 3 package porting. It
is set to occur over this weekend, so I would like to aim for it be
pushed out Thursday morning, Friday at the latest.

    https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=91&preview=true

I would appreciate if some other people wanted to give it a quick
look-over or make a featured image since I think this is a pretty
notable topic. Some of the content is missing (e.g. why Python 3 over
Python 2?) and I am hoping to have that filled in over the next day or
so. Otherwise, it's pretty content-complete.

Thanks!

Looking good!

I did a little work to the opening paragraph to try to include a call to 
action in the opening paragraph. Wanted to give the reader the call at 
the top too just in case they don't read further. I left the call to 
action you had at the bottom too -- doesnt hurt to have two :)

Also, added some start times (i guessed these, we will need to check 
them) -- and found a plugin that also shows the time in the user's 
timezone which seems pretty neat and useful :)

i'm not too worried about cover images on the Community blog, TBH, as we 
have the whole posts in the stream rather than the cards like on the 
magazine. But if you want a coverimage, i can whip one up.

Also, might need to mess with the blockquote style, as it seems the bg 
color for them is the same as the post bodies, and it looks a little werid.

cheers,

Thanks for the edits, definitely looking more polished now! That time 
localization plugin is neat - that will be a nice addition for 
CommBlog-specific things to help coordinate times for things like this. 
Matt should be able to confirm the times for us - he's still working on 
logging into the CommBlog.

For reference, the current times advertised in the post are:
- START: 2015 Nov 14, 13:00 UTC
- END: 2015 Nov 15, 1:00 UTC

That's what I was thinking in the big picture as well, featured images 
shouldn't be a blocker for CommBlog posts. I suppose this one will be 
fine since we have the badge image embedded in the post, so it does have 
an image in there.

Planning on getting that last section worked in the next few hours for 
sure so we can be on track for a publish time of 7:00 UTC Thursday.

I think that the article was very good, but it needs a follow up. Now
that has completed a report will be nice, thanks people that
participate, pat on shoulder to organizers, tell what was achieved...
and so on.

My bad, I catch the announcement on fedora magazine, and wrote this
before I catch the report on commops blog. 

I have been trying to get up to date with my inbox after been swamp in
work for many days.

Actually that article is done and in the comm blog. It came from a Matt blog post.

Furthermore, I wrote two blog posts: one with the final results of the event (published)
and another with lessons learned from the event (draft).


Both of them will be posted in comm blog on Monday. It would be cool too to have an post
event interview.

Regards!
