Fedora Classroom Article
by Eduard Lucena 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hello team, This Friday will be the re-launch of the Fedora Classroom. That's why I wrote a Draft [1] (sorry for jumping the Pitch process) that needs review and edition. Sorry if I jump steps in the process, I hope we can announce this in the Magazine without problems. Right now we are facing 2 issues that should be ready before friday session: 1. Definition of the BlueJeans ID for the first session. 2. Where updates about upcoming sessions will be published (we don't want a weekly post in the magazine about the seessions). But at least you can read the current announcement. Br, [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=18252&preview=true&preview_id=18252 -- Eduard Lucena Móvil: +56975687314 GNU/Linux User #589060 Ubuntu User #8749 Fedora Ambassador Latam

[magazine] New idea
by Alessio Ciregia 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

I wrote a very short draft about a geeky command that we can find in Fedora: espeak. Espeak is speech synthesizer, a command line tool that can speak text from a file or from standard input. There is not much to say about such command: some ideas, an example. In any case I find it amusing, but at the same time useful to raise talking Nagios alerts from my laptop, like a nerd. :-) Ciao A.

[pitch] Disk space maths: The difference between KiB and KB
by Eduard Lucena 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi team, I have this idea recurring a lot of times, because people normally ask: Why I buy a disk of 500 GB and I see less space in my system. The general idea is to write a short article about what is the difference between KiB and KB, what means that a 500 GB disk is (from the manufacturer perspective) and what these 500 GB means in the OS. I hope you like this idea. Br, -- Eduard Lucena Móvil: +56975687314 GNU/Linux User #589060 Ubuntu User #8749 Fedora Ambassador Latam

Help needed: article on Vultr.com fedora hosting
by Matthew Miller 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

I recently worked with Fedora Legal and the people at hosting/cloud company Vultr https://www.vultr.com/ to make sure their Fedora offering meets our trademark guidelines. Good news is that it does now! I love to see Fedora offered to users in this way. We've previously done articles about Fedora in Digital Ocean and I'd like to do a similar one for Vultr. Any takers? Key information: - Link to https://www.vultr.com/servers/fedora - SSD-backed servers in 15 locations worldwide - The installation image is based upon Fedora 26 Server Edition. - In order to maintain consistency with other Vultr images, the default login and SSH key location will be for the root user. - The firewalld service is enabled to secure new instances. Its default configuration will allow incoming SSH connections and ports will need to be opened for other listening services. - You can also upload custom ISOs if you want to use a different Fedora spin or create your own Also, they are willing to provide complementary access to a writer so you can try it out and write from experience rather than just ad copy. (Contact me for details.) Anyone interested? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
