Testing news.fp.o
by Jonathan Roberts
Hey,
We've got a test instance of wp-mu setup now, and although the
software still needs work to integrate it properly with Fedora
systems, I want to get people testing the work-flow etc so that when
we finally have the software ready to roll in production, we'll be
able to get straight to work :)
My plan for testing is to a) come up with a list of content that we're
going to publish on the site b) devise a work-flow c) get one or two
testers for each role in the work-flow d) publish some stories(!)
My thoughts on the above are:
a) Dedicate a day a week to one particular piece of content.
Mondays: FWN (prepared in the same way as it is now - it works so
well! - just published onto the blog)
Tuesdays: Fedora Daily Package(?) (We'd need to ask Chris Tyler about this)
Wednesdays: Fedora TV video
Thursdays: Interview
Friday: Team focus (pick a particular team, talk about the work that
they're doing, how you can get involved etc)
Saturday: Hints/Tips/Tutorials/Docs...
Sunday: Take a break!?
These are just some rough ideas. I see no reason we couldn't publish
more than once on a given day if something interesting came up, or
somebody wrote some editorial content, but having a good staple of
regular content will help keep people coming to the site frequently.
b) I want to make the content as high quality as possible, and I think
that having all work published and edited by somebody other than the
author, and who has proven to be a competent writer, is a prerequisite
for this. With this in mind, I don't think we should use the "Author"
role that WordPress offers, but only the "Contributor" and "Editor"
roles. Contributors would be able to write posts, but would need to
get an editor to publish. Editors could write posts and publish, but
would need to follow an honour system and ask another editor to review
their work and publish it.
Maybe this is overkill, I don't know, but feedback is welcome!
c) Volunteers?
d) Need to clear up the other areas first.
Keep in mind that this is a test-instance, and our work would be
liable to disappear at anytime and not promoted to the main site when
it starts.
For anybody interested in what remains technically, check the ticket
at https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/178.
I'm sure Bret would appreciate any help anybody can offer.

¡Announcing Fedora Colombia!
by Diego Escobar
English:
Hi all:
I am pleased to introduce a new website Fedora, the first official in
Colombia for Fedora Project and one more for "Proyecto Fedora"
Latinoamerica, as a part of our commitment to spread Fedora on
latinoamerican and spanish speakers communities.
Thanks to all Fedora Community, to latinoamerican people and a special
mention for Juan Rodriguez (Nushio) from Fedora Mexico who does a great
job administrating Proyecto Fedora infraestructure.
This is my first "official" contribution to send the Fedora´s message to the
world, and I hope from this humble beginning, that Fedora Colombia not only
is a meeting point for colombian fedora´s users else for latinoamerican
people and contribute - of course - with much more to Fedora Project.
You can see it on: http://proyectofedora.org/colombia
Greetings!

Fedora Release 9 (Sulphur): Linux Kernel 2.6.25 + Gnome 2.22
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spanish:
Hola a todos:
Tengo el placer de presentarles un nuevo sitio Web de Fedora, el primero
oficial en Colombia y uno más para Proyecto Fedora Latinoamérica, como parte
de nuestro compromiso de masificar Fedora en Latinoamérica y la comunidad
hispano hablante en general.
Gracias a toda la comunidad Fedora, a las personas de latinoamérica y una
mención especial a Juan Rodriguez (Nushio) de Fedora México quien realiza un
excelente trabajo administrando la infraestructura de Proyecto Fedora.
Este es mi primera contribución "oficial" para llevar el mensaje Fedora al
mundo, y espero, desde este humilde comienzo, que Fedora Colombia no sólo
sea un punto de encuentro para los usuarios de Fedora en Colombia, sino para
Latinoamérica y contribuir -como no- con mucho más a Proyecto Fedora.
Puede visitar el sitio en: http://proyectofedora.org/colombia
Saludos!

Self-Introduction: Steven Moix
by Steven Moix
Hi all,
As you can probably see, I'm Steven Moix from Switzerland. Currently I'm
a student in engineering at the COMEM department of a Swiss university
of applied sciences (HEIG-VD). COMEM stands for “Communication,
Engineeing and Management”, think about it as IT + Economics.
I also work as a Linux system administrator at Axianet.ch, the company
that I founded with a friend in 2003. This is for the Linux experience
part. You can also see my linkedin profile for a more complete
background: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/Steven/Moix
Why join the marketing team:
I speak french, so I consult the French news websites. I noticed that
there are a lot of Ubuntu news (about one every week), a bit less
OpenSuse news (about one every month) but not many Fedora news at all.
This is where I want to help.
I wrote some articles for some of the major French websites and I still
have good contacts with people working there. My idea is to push more
Fedora news on these websites to increase the Fedora brand awareness.
Any comments?
Have a nice day

Introduction as a new member
by Shambo Bose
Hi everybody, I am Shambo Bose from India. I have just completed graduation
and is preparing for RHCE. I am preparing for RHCE with Fedora 7 .
As Fedora Core 3 was my first linux experience on my first computer I always
wanted to get involved in the Fedora Project and the chance came after so
many years. I want to spread the free spirit of Fedora around the globe by
sharing my small time experience which I gathered using Fedora so I joined
the ambassador project. I am looking forward to play a small but significant
role in Fedora's success in the future.
Thank You.
Yours sicerely
Shambo Bose

Next year for mktg
by Jonathan Roberts
Hey,
So I'm at FUDCon and the little session I pitched on plans for the
next year of Fedora Marketing wasn't as useful as I hoped. I'd still
like to try and make time to talk about this stuff, but maybe it would
be a good idea if we tried to arrange a time to take advantage of
Fedora VoiP stuff? A meeting outside of our normal meeting schedule
where we can figure out direction and grand plans etc, rather than
focusing on individual tasks that people are working on.
