[magazine] draft release notes (also, ryan, a request)
by Matthew Miller 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

Comments wanted on https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=18026&preview=true&preview_id=18026&preview_n… As I reread, one thing I'm thinking about is moving the "what's new" paragraph up above the all-the-other-options paragraph. Anything else? Also, Ryan, can you change the ownership of that article from you to me, please? Thanks! -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

[magazine] F26 article idea: what's new in DNF?
by Matthew Miller 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

DNF goes from version 1.1 to 2.5 in F26. This is huge! An article listing some of the highlights would be very interesting. http://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/release_notes.html -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

[magazine] Draft for Backing up series, part 1: duplicity
by Link Dupont 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi everyone, I've got a first draft up for part 1 of the Backing up series. Please read, follow and give me feedback. There are definitely areas that can be improved. Also, I don't want to publish until all three articles are done. I need to make sure that parts two and three (duply and deja-dup, respectively) will work seamlessly with the backup created in part one. This may mean significant edits to this part one. Please provide feedback! https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17880&preview=true&preview_id=17880 ~link

[magazine] New author introduction & "What’s new in the Anaconda Installer for Fedora 26" article
by Martin Kolman 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi! My name is Martin Kolman and I am part of the team that works on the Anaconda OS installer used by Fedora (and RHEL, Centos, etc.). As there is quite a lot of new stuff in Anaconda for the F26 cycle (such as for example Blivet GUI integration[0]) we have written a "what's new article" that summarizes what has been added, improved and fixed in the installer for Fedora 26. The article is done and ready for review. (If I understand the HOWTO[1] correctly I need to wait for one of the editors to grant me access so that I can submit the post for review, right ?)

[magazine] New Author Intro
by Khris Byrd 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Good evening all! My name is Khristian Byrd, and I'd like to start writing articles for Fedora Magazine. I currently work as a Linux System Administrator (RHEL shop) in Philadelphia, PA. Started tinkering with Linux OSes back in 2013 while working as tech support for a Web Hosting provider. After getting more comfortable/familiar, I took a Linux Sys Admin position (2015) and it's been a joy ever since. I'm looking to help in anyway I can to spread knowledge, both as a thank you to the open source community, and to ensure I get proficient in the industry (as they say, "learn it until you can comfortable teach it"). This is honestly my first time attempting to work on a project like this, so I'm open to any and all criticism available. I'm also open to article suggestions, as it's just another excuse for me to tinker with new technologies. Currently I only have one real idea for an article, and that is a guide to installing/configuring the 'libcoolkey' package for use with Government Smartcards and authentication to government websites through Firefox & Chromium. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to working with you all. v/r, Khris Byrd

[magazine] Powerline article requeued
by Paul W. Frields 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

The powerline article is rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Sorry I didn't see Ryan's comments in IRC earlier about the issues. Looks like Justin fixed the part about vim-powerline, and I tested it to work OK in Fedora 26 (I assume same for F25). I also fixed the 'dnf install' command for the main package to include powerline-fonts too. -- Paul W.
