Yes, as jzb said, FAS is not required for contributing in each group of
the Project.
FAS is useful for keeping track of people involved into groups,
especially in Marketing group, because since long time people used to
subscribe mktg group and then they disappeared.
Because of this, asking for membership and showing commitment is a
way to consider a contributors as active.
Again it doesn't mean, as jzb says, that people can't do works
although not members.
Obviously we'd like people increasing to make this group increasing,
for that we ask to follow the FAS way, joining the group, The Marketing
group will follow the work and then will approve membership.

Hello to all.
I'm new to this mailing list and introduce myself.
In short:
My real name is: Sergio Agnes.
I was born in Milan (Italy) a long time ago in the january of year 1951
I'm an italian Geek.
I'm a FedoraLinux Distro Lover.
I really like all that things that GNU/linux Like.
I really like all the Open Source project.
I love the "fedoraproject mission". ;-)
I use linux for 15 years (various distros) and fedora from 5 years.
I have helped in the past to translate in italian for distro "Sabayon linux" (like Gentoo).
I think I know FedoraLinux pretty well.
I have a lot of free time that I would like to devote to the Fedora project.
I would love to take care of events and everything that can serve the community to grow more and more.
I like to work in one of the new projects fedora.next (Cloud, Server, Workstation) to spread and increase knowledge users.

A couple of times while commenting, I got an interstitial saying that I
was commenting too fast and need to slow down. The first time, I wrote a
one-liner and so maybe didn't hit some some threshold, but the second one
was several paragraphs with thought as I wrote.
I was able to press back and my writing was preserved, but I *did* have to
submit it again. This seems like a pretty bad experience for users.

Be sure to inform the writers of these posts too, so they know of their mistakes. Now we have a somewhat consensus on sentence case for titles, we can fix titles, then inform the writer why they were changed. Nothing worse than having ones post copy edited and updated but not knowing when and why it was changed.

Do we have a style guide for Fedora Magazine? Should we?
by Ryan Lerch
Hi all,
Just wondering if we should consider a brief style guide for Fedora
magazine?
One item to cover on this would definitely be how to capitalize the
titles of our posts. Having this consistent is always a good thing.
For the capitialization of posts, my vote is for sentence case. This
tends to be the most popular currently in online publications [1], [2].
and in my honest opinion, it is not as harsh and shouty as the
alternative title case. Title case is also a lot harder to get
consistent, as many people have different ideas of what to capitalise.
For example, the sentence case is simple, capitalize the first word, and
any proper nouns:
Fedora 21 will feature "Solarized" color schemes in both the Terminal
and Gedit
and the title case (depending on who is writing it) could be:
Fedora 21 will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit
or
Fedora 21 Will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit
cheers,
ryanlerch
