Magazine workflow
by Ryan Lerch 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

Currently, we are using a pretty stock wordpress when it comes to editing workflow. However for a larger multi-writer / editor blog like we have going in the magazine, it is not really working. WE have a bunch of posts in the Pending state, some that are now a little out-of-date to post, mainly because no-one knew they were written. Another issue is providing editiorial feedback to writers -- we tried to work around this with filing trac tickets, but that isn't really working. Long story short, I have been looking at the editflow plugin[1] to try to streamline some of this, and make our publishing workflow a lot better. Check it out, and i should have some details on how we will use this soon. cheers, ryanlerch [1] - https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/

Hi all, Just wondering how everyone logs into the magazine? Do you use your Fedora FAS openID? or another OpenID? or just a wordpress username and password? --ryanlerch

Will people be grumpy if I include Mac OS X instructions?
by Joe Brockmeier 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hey all, Question - I'm wondering if folks are likely to be grumpy en masse if I include instructions targeted to Mac OS X users for a post on Fedora Magazine? Context: We're producing two kinds of Vagrant boxes for Fedora 22 Atomic - KVM/libvirt and VirtualBox. The VirtualBox images are most likely to be consumed by Vagrant users on Mac OS X and Windows. That's a Good Thing(TM) if we have devs on Mac OS X/Windows spinning up Fedora for their Docker work/testing. But it feels slightly weird writing a howto that includes Mac instructions for Fedora Magazine. Thoughts? Hope I'm just being over-sensitive. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

Bad security rating for Fedora store
by Till Maas 16 Mar '15

Hi, I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that the Fedora store does not have a good security rating regarding its TLS support and that the people who can fix this are aware of the problem: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=redhat.corpmerchandise.com I noticed this is a blog comment about the forgotten intermediate TLS certificate in the shop: http://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2015/01/30/mozilla-is-responsible-for-the… Regards Till

Just letting Magazine folks know about a couple Workstation related drafts I wrote: New notifications: http://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=7936&action=edit * This article is waiting for Ryan to create a graphic. It needs to be posted *before* the one below, even though it was drafted afterward. New Terminal job notification: http://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=7885&action=edit * This article is almost ready to publish, but should be published *after* the one above since it should link back to the one above. That link needs to be added before publication. -- Paul W.

proposal: managing editor for Fedora Magazine?
by Máirín Duffy 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

I'm wondering if, as we do in other Fedora associated projects, we should have a lead / managing editor for Fedora Magazine to help drive the vision and be empowered and accountable for making the strategic kinds of decisions we've been talking about in the thread on the magazine theme. This was something Rikki thought would be a good idea to help us move forward. If we agree this would be a good role to have, I think Ryan Lerch [1] would be a good fit since he's already put a lot of effort and thinking into the magazine layout/theming/workflow and is a talented and experienced writer and editor in his own right (he's written half of the top ten Fedora Magazine articles of all time.) ~m [1] I asked him for his okay before sending this :)

Re: New Magazine theme
by Máirín Duffy 12 Mar '15

Sorry for breaking the thread and top posting w my awful mobile client.... Do we have stats showing any difference in traffic to community vs user oriented content? I'd argue planet.fpo is the contributor version.... and magazine is the user version. I liked Paul's idea of having the default on the front page being user focused content instead of all. An idea is that the contributor focused stuff could get posted to planet via fedora mags rss feed which links back to fedoramag, but not promoted as the user content is. I think youre going to get a better site overall by making a choice rather than straddling the two audiences. There is such a dearth of Fedora user-focused content in general I really think better to make fedoramag for them since they need it. You could better serve contributors with some curation on planet.fpo (display planet.fpo curated by default?) or by getting individuals already listed on planet to make more better posts. (And the hubs, when they are ready :) ) Re underground silo.... what kinds of critical contributor content are you most concerned about? would planet.fpo not serve that content well? If the concern is that planet posts are fleeting, could we stand up another wp - very informal - for the contrib focused stuff... but no front end, brand identity, or anything, just an rss feed to be slurped into planet but the posts / comments / stats would be stored in the wp? ~m Sent from my phone, which is not an iphone. <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> </div><div>Date:03/10/2015 7:04 PM (GMT-05:00) </div><div>To: Fedora Marketing team <marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> </div><div>Subject: Re: New Magazine theme </div><div> </div>On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 05:55:39PM -0400, Ryan Lerch wrote: > >It does.

So, what I was going for in suggesting the user/contributor categories kind of _is_ like having a mini separate site, like this suggestion but with a lot less overhead both in systems administration and in blog administration. A whole 'nother site would double the workload, and we're largely depending on (awesome — thanks!) volunteer efforts for this as it is. I'm also concerned with too strong of a divide meaning that the important contributor-focused articles end up in yet another underground silo somewhere... we've had a hard enough time building up the magazine as a place to look. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- marketing mailing list marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org List info or to change your subscription: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
