It would be a great marketing bomb to create mail, or a page where we gather and keep alive in front of the public most of them, and strengthen the image little bit that we are the developers and engineers distro. I think here the introduction of developer assistant, tito, copr, pulp, katello, and more. Have a page with out project, and project logos, and include this within the Fedora.NEXT changes. I propose also to contact with Chris Fisher (ChrisLAS jupiterbroadcasting.com) Matt or with Matt Hartley (Datamotion writer, and co-host of the LAS), and ask an full show that makes it able for us to cooperate together, and gain more contributors. As Linux Action Show is one of the most popular video podcasts, we can gain a lot of people, and high interest. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/144> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

What about trying again but with just just Subscriptions and Markdown enabled? Then if those don't cause problems, we can turn on other things one by one as there is interest. (Next candidates -- Notifications, Likes, Infinite Scroll, Contact Form. Oh -- and there's an RSS feed button widget.) In fact, since Subscriptions would be really useful and markdown just Nice to Have, I'd be fine with starting with just that and then adding Markdown once that seems okay. And we could even go another level and have it installed with everything disabled for a few days, just to make sure that the baseline assumption is correct. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/155> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

goal: at least one fedora magazine post a day
by Matthew Miller 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Weekdays, say, to start. So, five. I'm committed to the 5tFTW posts, so that's one down. And I'm going to be doing the Fedora.Next series for a few more weeks at least, so that's two. Chris does the badge reports, so that's three. Anyone want to volunteer for other regular features? (Or to write or recruit an irregular feature every week?) We may want to start using the scheduled posting feature so that we cover the week nicely, at least until we get to the point where there's so much that it doesn't matter. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"

A book on Fedora in Hindi (Proposed)
by Rajesh Ranjan 31 Mar '14

Hi Few months back, my book in Hindi titled “Apna Computer Apni Bhasha Mein” (en_US = Your Computer in Your Language) [1] was published by a Hindi Publisher. There are very less books available in Hindi on technology. This encouraged me a lot. I have planned to edit a book on Fedora in Hindi language also. Nishant, Chandan, Sangeeta, and few more are helping me to prepare this book. Here I am sharing the outline [2] with you.

facebook group settings
by Matthew Miller 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

The Fedora - Linux Facebook group is set to require administrative approval for all new members. This results in a lot of busywork, because while there are a few clearly fake profiles and so on, it's a few dozen legit people every day. Would it be a horrible thing if we set this to an open membership policy? We could continue to require administrative approval for posts. Or was there a horrible spam problem? -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> ... "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"

Fedora marketing is dead
by Giuseppe Pignataro 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Ok folks now I have your attention. We have to start to make some noise about Fedora. We don't have the basics things,that are the minimum to start. First, no official page on social network. This isn't a good thing. I have tried to search fedora on Facebook and this https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fedora-informatica/655798371147619 and this https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fedora-Project/103128663061181 are the only things that came out. We need an official facebook page,have you seen the ubuntu page on facebook https://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux 978k people liked that page. This can be first part of the war. Google+ and all the other social can have the official page and the official account. We need to start to make war at ubuntu, on the web there are 1000 about Ubuntu vs 10 about fedora.(The number isn't really this but it's to give you an idea.) We have to change the way that people see fedora. When I speak with someone that are new to Linux world they say me that "Ubuntu is simple". Ubuntu is a distro for users and if they now fedora they say me that fedora is for engineer or for people that really know Linux. We have to change this idea. We can start with writing article about configuring this or how to install this, and how to trying this other on the fedora magazine firstly. The problem, as I can see,is that the Fedora community is to close in himself. If we can't change this we are out of the game.

Copyright Submission Proposal

Hey all, To streamline this whole thing, can we just agree to publish all content on the magazine (and ask authors to agree) on a single Creative Commons license? I would *personally* prefer the most restrictive of the CC licenses (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0): https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ But I'd accept most of the CC licenses.

No, but that doesn't matter. > I think we should change this to something more like the copyright notice at > the bottom of the wiki -- > > Copyright © 2014 Red Hat, Inc. and others.

Red Hat is not responsible for content. Content is > available under Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported unless otherwise > noted. I object. Red Hat has been on record for some years objecting to the Gilligan's Island Copyright. This was supposed to be fixed years ago for the wiki and never was. This was also supposed to be fixed for documentation but I don't believe it ever was. Under CC BY-SA 3.0 section 4, Red Hat requests removal of its name from these Gilligan's Island copyright notices. You can use "Copyright © 2014 others." if you wish. Opensource.com has been used as a legal model here (whether that is a good idea or not I'm not sure) and it does not use any copyright notice, Gilligan's Island or otherwise. My suggestion: If you feel you need a copyright notice at all, even though you don't, please use "Copyright <YEAR> Fedora Magazine Authors". For the love of $DEITY do not use "All Rights Reserved", this was deprecated by Red Hat seven years ago or more. I don't care too much about, er, the rest. - RF

Fwd: Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-03-18)
by Chris A. Roberts 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

We might even get some contributors from this too :) Good thing I fixed the site for auto scaling, it should handle the extra traffic fine, and I have it send me a text message/email if it does not see a response within 3 mins. - Chris >>> Matthew Miller 03/18/14 5:33 PM >>> Reposting from , for those of you who prefer email to the web. :) Fedora is big project, and it’s hard to follow it all. This new Fedora Magazine feature will highlight interesting happenings in five different areas every week. It won’t be comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries and links to each. So, here we go for March 18th, 2014: Flock 2014 registration and talk proposals open ----------------------------------------------- In case you missed the article in Fedora Magazine a few days ago… don’t miss it. The website at , and the talk proposal deadline is coming up fast: April 3rd, 2014. Fedora 21 feature planning in progress -------------------------------------- Looking to do something new for Fedora 21? The initial schedule is set and many changes are already accepted by FESCo. Submission deadline is April 8th, 2014. If you have something to add, find out how at . Ambassadors discuss inactive memberships ---------------------------------------- Interesting discussion on Fedora Ambassadors mailing list about a process for marking the memberships of people who aren’t actively participating as inactive. Looks like there’s wide support for the low-overhead, non-punitive proposal (which allows easy reactivation). KDE talks about Fedora Products ------------------------------- Another interesting discussion: KDE SIG is working on a proposal for “Fedora Plasma”, a desktop product focused at educational and scientific use. FESCo and the Fedora Advisory Board have previously approved the governance and PRDs for Cloud, Server, and Workstation (the latter of which recently elected to use Gnome as the base). It will be interesting to see how this all fits together. Planning for new Fedora web design ---------------------------------- The Fedora Websites and Design teams are working on refreshed websites in support of Fedora.next. I’m cheating a bit because some this is more than a week old, but it’s all still in progress. This includes an ambitious plan for a new community hub, although initial work focuses on updating the Get Fedora “brochure” site. Endnote ------- So that’s it for this week. If something didn’t make the list and you think it should have, that probably just means I missed it, not that it wasn’t important. Please drop me a line and we’ll make this better next time.

Marketing-trac: #150: Turn on friendly URLs for Fedora Magazine (post name permalinks)

#150: Turn on friendly URLs for Fedora Magazine (post name permalinks) -------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: jzb | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Future releases Component: other | Severity: urgent Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -------------------+------------------------------ Currently the URLs we're getting for Fedora Magazine are the default URLs (e.g., "http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=1236") instead of something descriptive like http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future/. Aside from being generally ugly, the defaults don't provide much Google juice. We should turn on post name permalinks in WordPress. I haven't done this before on OpenShift, but I know we need to have mod- rewrite working. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/150> marketing-team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> Marketing team for the Fedora project.

magazine -- can I haz write plz?
by Matthew Miller 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hi all. I have a number of posts I'd like to make to the magazine. First, I have what is turning into a four-part series based on my talk at devconf and the following discussion. (The talk in two halves, the workgroup presentation, and then q&a.) Second, I want to start a weekly post highlighting five interesting things in across Fedora that week. Not so elaborate, polished, or as much of a commitment as FWN, but just links to things people who aren't subscribed to All The Things might be interested in. I am generally terrible at doing repetitive things regularly, but it's something I _really_ want to see, so I figured I'd start and see how it goes. Maybe I'll inspire someone better at it than me to take over. :) For this, I need wordpress account. I tried to log in with OpenID, but that got me nowhere. Who can hook me up, and what do I need to do? Thanks! -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

fedora magazine: "No information is provided by the author"
by Matthew Miller 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Take a look at the biographical information at the bottom of each post. For this one written by Chris <http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=1138> it says "No information is provided by the author". Presumably, Chris has no info in his profile. For mine at <http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=1231>, though, I get my profile information followed by that phrase. Huh? -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

fedora magazine: (minor) use libravatar.org instead of gravatar
by Matthew Miller 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Looks like the magazine site is using Gravatar instead of Libravatar. We use the latter for a lot of other things in Fedora. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to be consistent. What do you all think? -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

fedora magazine suggestion
by Matthew Miller 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

I notice that the excerpts on the front page are very short. There's probably a parameter for this somewhere -- it looks like they are 30 words. I think it might be nice if this were increased significantly, to 100 words or so. I also continue to think that the flashing banner at the top is a distraction from the content. But that's a separate issue. :) -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Meetings suspended
by Ruth Suehle 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

There was vague agreement last week to not hold meetings at which we don't have an agenda, as the list is a better way to make sure everyone is involved (or at least aware) rather than a few people. In the event of specific projects that would benefit from meetings, those can be held as one-offs. Ruth

Magazine Maintenance Complete
by Chris A. Roberts 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hey Everyone, I have completed the maintenance for the magazine. Things that got accomplished: NaN. Removed all spam users NaN. fixed all posts and made sure they were in the correct category, removed posts that were corrupted during the rebuild of the magazine I did in December. NaN. Disabled registrations (this was brought up in a marketing meeting, if someone wants to contribute they can sign up through the process we have established, ie wiki) NaN. Tuned some performance settings in the Total cache plugin NaN. Corrected all 404 pages and changed them to an active linkRe-installed the contact form plugin and fixed the 404 on the contact us page NaN. Installed the Query Monitor plugin so I can gather detailed info about the bugs that we have ongoing. (Not enough info to TS from the OpenShift logs, this plugin captures all requests when a page is clicked and shows the mysql database rows/tables that are affected and all the php hooks and so forth) Thanks everyone I will be doing another maintenance either Monday or Tuesday and try to accomplish some more on my to do list. Again if you see any bugs with the site please submit them on the Marketing Trac so I can pick them up :) https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/report/1 Thanks, Chris Roberts

by Joe Brockmeier 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hey all, We have a meeting scheduled for today at 20:00 UTC. Do we have any agenda items that we need to go over today? I think we've been doing more meeting than doing lately, so unless there's something urgent to discuss today I move we spend today's hour doing actual content for the magazine or other work and skip meeting. Thoughts, comments, flames? Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/
