ZNC article edited
by Paul W. Frields
I finished editing the article on ZNC that Justin provided. It still
needs a featured image and we need to assign a publishing date,
hopefully next week. Also, Ryan, maybe you can look at whether the
screenshot placement works aesthetically. I wasn't able to accurately
judge how they balanced out visually.

getfedora.org tagline change proposal
by Chaoyi Zha
Hi all!
As we are redesigning the current getfedora.org website, I am suggesting
that we change the main tagline located on the front page of gf.o. It
currently reads "Fedora is now more focused", but it has been a while since
we've split off into three distinct products, and it may be time to pitch
it a little differently. The current tagline implies that we were
previously not focused or that our product is unpolished.
I think something like "one distribution for the workstation, server, and
cloud" would work as a nice new tagline. However, we've discussed this
here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/349#comment:14
and it seems like explaining the usecases and avoiding Linux jargon may be
better for newer users.
@mattdm: We could possibly go with "one OS for the workstation, server, and
cloud", while explaining the use cases in more detail in the subtext below.
I don't think extending the tagline with our use cases embedded in them
would create a succinct statement, but I absolutely think we should try to
appeal to newer users by avoiding "distribution" :)
Any ideas are welcome!

post on Fedora Marketing and Abassadors on Council mailing list
by Matthew Miller
I just posted a kinda long message about marketing and ambassadors to
the Fedora Council discussion mailing list
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/council-discuss/2015-October/01...>
I know not everyone on these lists is subscribed to every other one,
and rather than cross-posting and watching the discussion get
fragmented, I decided to post just in the one place. However, I'm
interested in all of your feedback, so I'm also cross-posting *this* a
bunch of places.
Don't respond here, please — instead, if you're interested in this kind
of thing, please join the Council list and followup there. Thanks!

[Magazine] ZNC Article ready for review
by Justin W. Flory
Hello all,
I just finished my ZNC how-to article and added it to the "Pending
Review" box. I think it came out pretty well, but it may be rough around
the edges, particularly with the location of some of screenshot images.
If anyone wants to give it a look over, I'd appreciate it, or we can
discuss it at the meeting this Thursday. Thanks!
