I found the author's blurb at the bottom of the article. For some reason I expected that the name/author bio/avatar would show up next to the top of the article. I did notice a lot of writers did have a ton of articles under their belt, I guess I'm just used to magazines and journals that list authors directly under story title. > Also, it would be convenient, but not really necessary, if I could > share to others via email/social media at the end of the article. > > > The social share is available with the JetPack plugin, but not sure > why is disabled. > Maybe the subscription ran out?

I looked at the archives before joining and the group looks dead since about May. I was reluctant to join the list because I was afraid it was a defunct group. But, I figured its one of those lulls that happen in nonprofits/open source. One additional feature I saw on Fedora magazine that I think would be useful on other pages is the social media bar at the top right. How useful would this be for gaining followers/subscribers if this were to be added to: * the Fedora Project Wiki * discussion.fedoraproject.org * ask.fedoraproject.org

Re: Pitch for Cockpit article series

Hey Shaun, sorry for the late reply. But I love the idea of this series. I would offer one thing, which is that, in keeping with prior practice, we probably wouldn't title these with 'part 1, 2, 3...' etc. or call it a series unless/until 3 articles are in. But I'm confident you can deliver these! And a Cockpit series would be AMAZING to run in the Magazine, so you have my +1!

Paul out for tomorrow's meeting
by Paul Frields 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Hi folks, I know some of us are traveling to Flock this week. I'm probably still going to be en route to Budapest at the time of our weekly meeting tomorrow. So if someone could run it, that would be great. We have articles already scheduled for tomorrow and for Friday the 9th. We do need things for next week IIRC, but there is a HDYF article ready for editing (see Charles' separate thread) and we may have at least one other article on the way that we can pull together for next Wednesday coverage. -- Paul

Error in "Use Postfix to get email from your Fedora system"
by Gregory Bartholomew 03 Aug '19

03 Aug '19

It looks like an error may have been introduced during the editing of the "Use Postfix" article. I think the values used in password_maps file and the main.cf file need to match. Otherwise "WantAuthError" shows up in the logs: Aug 03 12:12:57 eb2027-01.cs.siue.edu postfix/smtp[8960]: 11DFB19523: to=< gregory.lee.bartholomew(a)gmail.com>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[74.125.69.109]:587, delay=0.39, delays=0.03/0.04/0.3/0.02, dsn=5.5.1, status=bounced (host smtp.gmail.com[74.125.69.109] said: 530-5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at 530 5.5.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError f17sm75891337ioc.2 - gsmtp (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) I had used "[smtp.gmail.com]:587" in both places because smtp.gmail.com is an SMTP server, not a domain name against which an MX query should be run. From the man page: $ man postconf.5 | grep -A 19 ^relayhost relayhost (default: empty) The next-hop destination of non-local mail; overrides non-local domains in recipient addresses. This information is overruled with relay_transport, sender_dependent_default_transport_maps, default_transport, sender_dependent_relayhost_maps and with the transport(5) table. On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet gate‐ way host instead. In the case of SMTP, specify a domain name, hostname, hostname:port, [hostname]:port, [hostaddress] or [hostaddress]:port. The form [hostname] turns off MX lookups. If you're connected via UUCP, see the UUCP_README file for useful information. Examples: relayhost = $mydomain relayhost = [gateway.example.com] relayhost = uucphost relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress] Also, the Wikipedia page on MX records points out some limitations with the MX protocol: "The MX mechanism does not grant the ability to provide mail service on alternative port numbers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_number>, nor does it provide the ability to distribute mail delivery across a set of unequal-priority mail servers by assigning a weighting value to each one." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record) So, I think "[smtp.gmail.com]:587" is the proper value. I think other/newer tricks are used to load balance the smtp.gmail.com DNS name and route traffic to the nearest/best server and MX lookups should be avoided in this case. I could be wrong though. I'm not an expert in this field. gb

Pitch for Cockpit article series
by Shaun Assam 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Greetings everyone, I have an idea for an article series covering Cockpit and created a pitch outlining each article at https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29083&preview=1&_ppp=30f73bd5bf. Article #2 might be a bit lengthy, and there are items in article #3 that need clarification. I've found the following links but I'm not sure if they relate to their respective menu item: - Design Patterns: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-design - React Patterns: -- https://github.com/pauloamgomes/cockpit-react-example -- https://reactpatterns.com/ -- https://medium.com/@joomiguelcunha/react-patterns-you-should-know-da8656837… - Exceptions: https://cockpit-project.org/guide/149/cockpit-error.html If the article's approved, I would greatly appreciate any input from the community if the information above is correct. Also, if approved, I can have the first article completed by the following Monday. Thanks and regards, Shaun Assam FAS: sassam
