[magazine] Introducing myself

[Ankit R Gadiya]

Hey,
I'm Ankit R Gadiya. I'm 17, I'm a linux and open-source enthusiast. I'd
like to contribute to Fedora Project whenever I can. And I'd like to start it by
writing articles for Fedora Magazine. So, I'd love to become the author of Fedora
Magazine.

As a matter of Fact I've already wrote my first article and Pitched. TBH I'm not
very familiar with the process though as this is the first time I'm going to write
articles collaboratively. I do write my blog though (https://blog.ankitrgadiya.in)

As a matter of fact I already wrote my first article.
Link: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=16348&preview=1&_ppp=a2bea5d666

Brief: Its about getting hands on i3-wm on Fedora machine. It also include few must have
configurations to make day-to-day tasks easier.

Thanks

Hi Ankit,

Welcome! This looks like a neat subject to cover. Have you looked at what other articles
we've published about i3 in the past to see how it fits in with them?

I like the angle you take here with "Getting Started with i3", following up with
extending the config.

I really like this article too, and we'll definitely touch on it at
the next Magazine editorial board meeting!

Ankit, you may want to make sure your email address is reflected
correctly. I got an "undeliverable" error trying to respond to the
address you used. Remember that you don't get a @fedoraproject.org
email address without additional membership. You may want to check
your group memberships to ensure that address is correct. Or perhaps
it's just mistyped. "ankitrgadiya(a)fp.o" didn't work, though.

Thanks for appreciation. I've not found an article about i3 recently, didn't
searched all the articles, I'll do it.

Hey, I'm not really sure what's the problem is, as of now my primary email address
for this mailing list is ankitrgadiya(a)fedoraproject.org, which according to the Settings
> Email address panel is Verfied and Primary, but I tried sending test mail to it and
gave me error. Do I have to change my primary mail?

In order to for the @fedoraproject.org alias to be active, you need to
be in at least one group other than the basic "Signed CLA" status.
Fedora Magazine Contributor Group will count, once someone sponsors
you.

Yes.  You should swich to your actual email address.  A @fp.o alias is
only offered to project members who are approved group members.  I'm
not sure why it would show up as Verified, but that seems wrong since
the alias is not active.

Hi Ankit, thanks for introducing yourself here on the mailing list! I
think it's awesome that you're getting involved with open source already
and that you're doing some writing on your personal blog. :)

We briefly touched on the i3 article you put together on the Magazine.
We remembered maybe a little too late that we published "Getting started
with the i3 tiling window manager" in the past year.

    https://fedoramagazine.org/getting-started-i3-window-manager/

We talked about ways that your article would be helpful to extend this
past article as a follow-up, or maybe to have it focus in on some of the
specific tools or cool enhancements that you can make to a i3wm
workstation. Some ideas that come to mind to me are…

* "How to customize your window manager with conky"
* "How to configure i3status in i3wm"

…or other ideas for exploring specific things in i3wm that could maybe
use more help to explain.

Do you have any ideas about specific things you'd like to cover more in
i3wm? Since we have already published a getting started type of article
on the Magazine, it will better for us to find a way to either expand on
the last one or go in a little deeper to a specific part of i3wm and how
to use it best.

Hope this helps! Thanks again for introducing yourself here on the list. :)

Thanks for replying,

I read the previous article about i3-wm from Fedora Mazagine and its covering a lot of
things already. 
Also, I'd like to mention that conky is covered in previous post.
However, Media controls and Brightness controls are not. So, we can keep it.

also, I can write about following things:

* Setting i3 to launch specific programs( like firefox, rhythmbox, etc) on specific
workspaces
* Also I have an idea about mentioning Rofi to replace default dmenu, as dmenu is no
longer maintained. But Rofi is not in official Fedora Repos.
* Also I can write about Colors in i3-wm to make it look better

Also, in a different thread I read about Started pitches and they are interesting, can I
do a few of them after this?

Hi Ankit,

I'm not sure what you meant by "we can keep it" above.  Can you
clarify?  I think the Magazine editors were more interested in seeing
some different articles.

I'd really encourage you to pick up a starter pitch, and write that.
These are already "right sized" so we can use it to gauge your
writing, and have an easier time editing and publishing your work.
Does that sound OK?
