[magazine] Article idea/draft

[Link Dupont]

Hi folks,

I finished up my freeorion package and it's now pending karma in Bodhi. I wrote a
"FreeOrion is coming to Fedora" article that I thought could be a cool way to
tie back to the article last month about compiling and installing FreeOrion manually. Now
that freeorion has an official package, I tried to angle this article with "how you
can help contribute". I explain Bodhi briefly, and provide links to the packages.

I wrote an initial draft, but I think it needs some rework. I feel like it could be
structured as:

1) Introduction - remember the other FreeOrion article? Well now freeorion is coming to
Fedora, but...
2) It needs your help! Install with updates-testing and try out the game. Provide feedback
on Bodhi.
3) What is Bodhi? Why does a staging/testing service exist? (maybe expose a bit of the
"behind-the-curtain" about what purpose Bodhi serves to Fedora?)

Hey Link, thanks for helping work on this! I think this one might have 
missed the last editorial board meeting (couldn't find a mention of it 
in the logs). Since it's been some time since you sent this, I think it 
be in the stable repos proper now. After this week, I can spend some 
time to get it ready and add it to the publishing schedule (but I won't 
be able to do anything until next week).

Sorry it's taken so long for you to get a response here.

I revamped the article to the point where I *think* it's good for 
editing. I also revoked the freeorion updates in Bodhi since I fixed an 
upstream issue with license files. I'll be submitting a new build to 
Bodhi, so we can actually synchronize the publishing of the article 
with the releasing of the updates to testing. So whenever the stars 
align, we can publish both. My guess is after the holidays though, 
since schedules and vacations make coordination crazy.

Cool, thanks for the update, Link. Aiming this article for the start of 
2017 might be a good idea because I'm sure we'll be looking for content 
right around then as people get back from the holiday period. If there's 
any more news, let us know on the list, otherwise, we can tentatively 
aim for an early 2017 publication if that sounds good to you! Thanks 
again for your time here.

Hey Link, any news on those new packages?  I saw this article in the
queue and was curious when you think you might want to release them.
