RFC: Representing "image needed" in Taiga
by Ben Cotton 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

One weakness of the current editorial workflow[1] is that there's no obvious way to indicate that an article needs a featured image. There are four possibilities I see. What does the team think? 1. Create a new column Advantages: Easy to see which articles need images so that people can easily claim those. Disadvantages: Adds another step to the flow and doesn't represent well that images can be done in parallel to editing. 2. Use a tag Advantages: Color coding means the card indicates the article needs an image in most view. Disadvantages: It's not clear what the color coding means unless you already know. 3. Use a custom field Advantages: Can have multiple choices to represent state (needed, in progress, done). Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card 4. Use a task within the user story Advantages: Can be assigned and have it's own state. We could also potentially do the same for editing, though that might be redundant. Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card.

Holiday schedule coverage
by Paul Frields 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

The holiday period in December will be here before you know it. The Magazine has a lot of staff who are planning vacation and PTO time over that period. That doesn't mean everyone will automatically disappear. But in my case, I tend to spend my vacation away from the keyboard and doing other things. I bet some others do likewise. The hardest period to cover will be December 23 - January 1 -- which is 5 slots in our normal schedule. So we should figure out how to pre-fill our schedule and not have the Magazine "run dry" for several weeks. Here are some ideas for how we could accomplish this. But we need other ideas and content, too. Please contribute your ideas and we can discuss in the next meeting (Wednesday 1300 UTC, 8:00am EST, 2:00pm CEST in IRC Freenode #fedora-meeting). (1) If you're a new writer we would still love to have your contributions early, so we could schedule articles to publish over the holidays. (2) We could make a "best of 2019" series that would run for 3-5 slots on the Magazine. Last year I think we chose articles that represented for developers, sysadmins, and user tools. We could use those or even add a couple categories. We could do a year-end wrap up as well. (3) We could resurrect a few articles to refresh and repost. You can reset a published article to scheduled, and it will be re-posted on the new date. If we do this, the article should be checked for accuracy and updated as needed to reflect Fedora 31 reality. (4) We could get a bunch of like-minded writers to participate in a new series that we finish and schedule to run over the holidays. Other ideas are welcome. -- Paul

Article Idea
by Francisco Vergara 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

So I was thinking on continuing my old C# tutorial on Fedora Magazine. First part: https://fedoramagazine.org/c-fundamentals-hello-world/ For the second part I was thinking on doing Hangman game. Any thoughts? On a second note, would like to add this repo to the first part of the series: https://github.com/MorbidValkyria/csharp_fundamentals/blob/master/Hello/Pro… Francisco.

Problem solved
by pmkellly＠frontier.com 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

I asked a question here, a few days back, to get recommendations on screencasters. Unfortunately nothing worked for me. I ask at Ask Fedora and got the explanation of the problem root and a solution. The link below is to the Ask Fedora thread in case anyone here is in need of a screen caster that does both audio and video and works well with F31 and Wayland. https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/need-help-with-screencaster/4308 Have a Great Day!

Editorial guidelines
by Paul Frields 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

HI all, Here are some editorial guidelines we've previously had around the Magazine. We've added some new editors recently, and I don't think these have been clearly communicated elsewhere. It's not my place to say these are "forever rules." We can decide to change them. But we need to agree on and respect a "voice" for the Magazine, so we don't confuse or put off readers with severe tonal shifts from article to article. Let's see whether we agree on these. If so, they can be included on docs.fp.o. 1. Articles in the Magazine generally don't refer to the Magazine staff or the Fedora Project ("we", "us," "our"). Neither authors nor the Magazine staff speak for all of the Fedora Project contributors. The Magazine is also not an amplifier for a specific team. RULE: Editors should rewrite sentences to eliminate "we," "us," and "our," or work with the author to do so. EXCEPTIONS: It's OK to use "we" if the specific usage is relating something about the Magazine, however -- like soliciting contribution, for example. In those cases we're speaking as a group. (Are there other reasonable exceptions?) 2. Articles in the Magazine generally don't refer to their author ("I", "me," "my"). The Magazine doesn't publish op-ed pieces[1] or personal blogs; it publishes factual help and news articles. The Magazine does not rely on personal statements from authors; it's the editors' job to check accuracy, so readers can rely on articles. RULE: Editors should rewrite sentences to eliminate "I," "me," and "my," or work with the author to do so. EXCEPTIONS: It's OK to use "I" if the article is a personal announcement, such as from the FPL. (Are there other reasonable exceptions?) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op-ed -- Paul

First article draft - History of Fedora
by Silvia Sánchez 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hello all! I made this draft: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29794&preview=1&_ppp=f9217861ab The working title is *Fedora - The Origins* and my idea is covering the time prior the first release and the first release itself. I'm thinking of adding a part about the technical bits of this first release such as system requirements and type of software included, maybe with some screenshots or images, to give an idea how this system looked like in the beginning. I don't know what others think. Still waiting to be added to the Team Writers in Taiga. Kind regards, Silvia FAS: Lailah

Publishing schedule proposal
by Adam Samalik 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

Hi everyone, I propose the following publishing schedule for the upcoming week: Wednesday 27 November: #105 How to rebase to Fedora 31 on Silverblue(needs edit + image) Friday 29 November: Create and install a virtual machine using Cockpit (ready) Monday 2 December: #45 Quick introduction to Toolbox (needs image) Wednesday 4 December: #69 Using Ansible to organize SSH keys (needs edit + image) I'll edit and provide an image for the #105 for this Wednesday so we can get it out — it's a bit overdue so I shifted the rest of the schedule in order to get it out ASAP. Anyone can edit or make an image for the rest? Cheers, Adam -- Adam Šamalík --------------------------- Senior Software Engineer Red Hat
