Talking with Tammy Fox, the editor of Red Hat Magazine, and she's going to be focusing entirely on Fedora for the November issue.
Consider this a call-to-arms. :) Let's brainstorm some stories. A few ideas to start:
* FUDCon London 2005 overview * Fedora CMCs (assuming we've got the program in place) * HOWTO build your own Fedora Live CD
I'm sure there's plenty more ideas out there. Let's hear 'em.

My vague impression of the whole Fedora Live CD thing was that we were aiming to distribute a single Fedora-provided LiveCD .iso that would work for a vast majority of people, making the process of building a livecd uninteresting for the Red Hat Magazine audience... Have I assumed differently from others?

The tools allows users to mix and match packages and create their own CD's. While we can create a official CD, we should be encouraging others to experiement and create their own live CD that explore alternative GUI's and other niche targets

you need a graph...something versus time...hmm Extras packages versus time? Extras contributors versus time? d(package(r)s)/dt versus time

Any interest in an article about how we've modularized release notes writing?
"Release Notes Beats: Old Journalism for the New World"
Something like that ...
Also, a "book review" of the Fedora Installation Guide might nice.
How about,
"Contributing to Fedora, It's More Than Coding"
that highlights bug triage, documentation, packaging, Legacy support, etc.

Hi All,
I still insist on a more professional approach, which means I suggest for us to come up with a Communication Plan for Fedora, that could be divided in a few sub-projects:
. Surveys (or blogs thorough analysis, distrowatch comparisons, etc) on Fedora usage to find out what are the features perceived as benefits by users (not by developers) - the reasons why they opt for Fedora, instead of another free OS distro - and also the ones perceived as issues . Next, focus on communicating these benefits consistently across all available media (including RHMag, fedoraproject.org, localised websites, blogs, etc) on a timely manner e.g.: RHMag can cover two or three benefits of Fedora each month. Then, other media can approach the same benefits to enforce and support the message...
BTW, I believe such a process should be an ongoing activity to make sure we walk along with the users community needs.
But, if we insist working on an ad-hoc basis, here are a few suggestions for this issue: . Promote 32-bit applications support . Communicate FF news . Communicate Fedora Chinese Mirror (maybe call for other mirrors where we lack'em worlwide?) . Bring users testimonials on Fedora (it usually works very well for new users adoption) . Promote Fedora's worldwide reach, and languages localization . Include Fedora trustworthy URLs
Thanks for listening!
Best, -- David Barzilay
