Post-publication edit
by Paul Frields
I had to make a post-publication edit to our most recent COPR article.
It wasn't clear before publication that one of the included repos
included material not eligible to redistribute. (Thus making it
ineligible also for COPR.)
I talked to the COPR folks as well as the author and took steps to
remove it from the article. I included an editors' note with an
apology for the issue. Thanks to the COPR folks as well for acting
swiftly. In the future, let's make sure that included repos are
appropriate.
By the way, COPR has a function where you can make a report if you
find material there that doesn't belong -- like software that is not
eligible to redistribute.

Requesting review: "Say thanks during Fedora Appreciation Week (Nov.
5-11)"
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all,
An article draft for the upcoming Fedora Appreciation Week is ready for
review, ideally to publish in the week of Oct. 29:
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=22993&preview=1&_ppp=9d885676e9
It is a pointer post to a previously-published post on the Community
Blog, but has some updates. The Fedora Magazine helps give this effort
more visibility in the Fedora community and also invites users to
participate and get involved.
Publishing during the week of Oct. 29 is ideal since it will be the
preceding week to the 15th anniversary. Let me know if there is any
feedback.
Thanks!

Question on Comments approvals, edits
by Michael Erwin
Question, is there a way from the WP dashboard to approve the
Comments... or do I just use the email links?
Is there a way I can delete one of my screwed up double replies?
Lastly, How can I do a minor edit of the published text of the article?

Self Introduction - Jatin Garg
by jatin garg
Greetings everyone,
I am using linux distros since i was 10 and i am glad to be part of this amazing community.
I am a Game developer and use fedora and CentOS all of the machines. Setting up great software environment for game development on Red hat family including fedora and centos after alot of testing went like a charm.
Its always likely to have industry standard software and we managed to install, DaVinci Resolve for video editing on all the three distros with minor tweaking on fedora.
We managed to setup Unreal Engine on fedora (for the production things) and on CentOS/RHEL (for server and also on some emergency desktops), with tweaking to get great results on the redhat family.
We also setted up Autodesk Maya on the distros and managed to have a great render test.
I will be proud and glad to share the knowledge to set up these amazing software on my platform of choice.

Helpful comments, thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.
