New draft workflow for magazine articles
by Ryan Lerch
Hi all,
I have been working on trying to write up the workflow for how we write
and publish new articles on the magazine, and have started with the
following document:
http://fedoramagazine.org/publishing-workflow/
it outlines the 4 types of users that i would like to see used in the
magazine, and the statuses for posts (pitch, draft, pending and published).
I have also enabled the editflow plugin on the site, so now it is
possible to provide editorial comments on posts in the "edit" page of a
post that only authors and editors can see.
please take a look.
my next steps in this is to write up a public-facing howto on writing a
new article that covers the workflow steps above (as well as logging in
for the first time, and getting author access to the site.)
cheers,
ryanlerch

Hello everyone: My name is Pintomatic working on FOSCO Executive Dashboard.
by Cesar Pinto
I am Pintomatic, aka. Cesar Pinto, working with Red Hat in Business
Development and excited to contribute to the Fedora project on this
capacity.
I´ve been involved with EMEA Ambassadors and also on the FOSCO initiative ,
Interested to become work on putting together a dashboard of strategic
metrics to support project leadership and inform decision making, I´ve
heard of some interesting initiatives on progress already (
http://thisweekinfedora.org/), would be great to connect with the team and
see how we could work together.
There is an initiative in question to create an executive dashboard to be
used by FOSCO and to be distributed project-wide to the leadership, by
aggregating information from various places and presenting it in a simple
manner. If some of you are working on this area and can offer some advise
or would like to connect with me for this strategic project that would be
great.
Why FOSCO wants to create an Executive Dashboard?
Visibility: FOSCO Executive Dashboard gives the project great visibility
and insight. We could inform the project leaders exactly what’s going on in
key aspects of the project which will allows for better focus and resource
allocation.
Ongoing Improvements: We have all heard it “if you can’t measure it, you
can’t improve it.” The FOSCO Executive Dashboard will allow us to measure
performance throughout the project and thus improve it.
Performance Against Plan: Making sure the overall project is performing to
a commonly agreed set of expectations is a key priority. The FOSCO
Executive Dashboard could do just that. In theory, we could show how we are
performing against our commonly agreed goals from the agreed plans versus
our actual, real-time results.
Contributor-Level Performance Improvements: When contributors know their
performance is being visible in a dashboard, and can see their results,
they innately start to improve their work.
2 things
I am
seeking input / support
:
- Choosing what metrics to track.
- Building the dashboard.
If anyone would like to connect with me to discuss how to get started on
this. that would be most helpful.
Thanks for support!

Fedora 22 Beta Round-Up (Day 1)
by jterrill＠redhat.com
*BetaNews
*/Linux distro Fedora 22 Beta now available/
http://betanews.com/2015/04/21/linux-fedora-22-beta/*
*
Fedora is an awesome Linux distribution. Not only is this my distro of
choice, and the favorite of many other users, but more importantly, it
is the operating system that Linus Torvalds uses. Yes, the father of
Linux and overall open source champion uses Fedora. The OS is notable
for being the foundation and testing grounds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) too. No matter how you slice it, Fedora is both important and
popular.
Today is finally the day, fellow Fedora lovers; after a long wait, the
first beta of version 22 is here. Not only does this signal that the
final release is getting closer, but it means we get to play with the
latest beta too. So what are you waiting for? It's time to download!
"We're pleased to announce that Fedora 22, the latest version of the
Fedora operating system, is now available in beta. A free, Linux-based
operating system developed and maintained by the Fedora Project's global
community, Fedora 22 continues to follow the path of the Fedora.next
initiative delivering three distinct editions of Fedora 22: Fedora 22
Cloud Beta, Fedora 22 Server Beta and Fedora 22 Workstation Beta", says
The Fedora Team.*

*Softpedia
*/Fedora 22 Beta Is Out with Better GNOME Notifications and Improved
Wayland Support/
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fedora-22-Beta-Is-Out-with-Better-GNOME-No...
*Red Hat announced just a few moments ago that Fedora 22 Beta is now
available for download and testing, making this one of the fastest
release cycles in the past few years.
The previous Fedora 21 release was made in December, 2014, and now we're
already testing Fedora 22 Beta. Just a couple of delays were registered
by the project, which is a really good thing. The project was known for
its numerous delays and for the weeks that were just added to the final
release date. The team seems to have a much better grip on the situation
and the devs are much more constant.
The Fedora project was split into three different flavors that need to
cater to the needs of different users, and those flavors are Cloud,
Server, and Workstation. The third one would be for desktop users if you
were wondering. As you can expect, this is still under development, but
it has progressed very well in the last few weeks.

*/Fedora 22 Hits the Ground Running in Beta Form/
http://www.maximumpc.com/fedora_22_hits_ground_running_beta_form_2015#null*
*
Much of what we cover on Maximum PC revolves around Microsoft's Windows
operating system, though lest anyone forget, there's this alternative
called Linux. And of course there are many varieties of Linux to choose
from, including Fedora 22 beta, which is now available. According to the
Fedora Project, desktop and workstation users may not notice huge
changes, but will see better performance behind the scenes in managing
updates.
Furthermore, Fedora users who manage applications using the command line
will note that the updated package manager for RPM-based Linux
distributions called "DNF" is faster while still keeping CLI
compatibility with Yum for most tasks.
There are three distinct editions of Fedora 22, all in beta form. They
include Fedora 22 Cloud, which includes a Vagrant image for Fedora 22
Atomic Host Beta along with the addition of the Atomic command to
provide a single point for managing host updates and container; Fedora
22 Server, which adds the new Database Server role through Rolekit and
updates to the Cockpit management application; and Fedora 22
Workstation, which offers a refined Fedora desktop experience with
better GNOME alerts, expanded use of Wayland, and some other tweaks.
You should always consider beta software carefully since it likely still
contains bugs that need eradicated, though reports around the web is
that Fedora 22 is pretty polished, as was the Alpha release.

ITWorld
*/Fedora 22 Beta Released/
http://www.itworld.com/article/2912447/linux/fedora-22-beta-released.html*
*The Fedora developers have been busy working on their next release, and
now you can download the beta version of Fedora 22 Workstation for
testing purposes.
The Fedora Project site has details in the beta announcement:
"The Beta release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 22's
editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by
the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs
are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is meant to
be feature complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and
final release. The final release of Fedora 22 is expected in May.
Faster and better dependency management: Yum has been replaced with dnf
as the default package manager. Dnf has very similar command line
options and configuration files compared to yum but also has several
major internal changes including using libsolv in coordination with
friends from the openSUSE project for faster and better dependency
management. dnf-yum provides automatic redirection from yum to dnf in
the command line for compatibility. The classic yum command line tool
renamed to yum-deprecated as a transitional step for tools still using it."
<snip> *
LinuxVeda
*/Beta of Fedora 22 is Here/
http://www.linuxveda.com/2015/04/21/beta-2-of-fedora-22-is-here/*
*
The Fedora Project has announced the release of the beta of Fedora 22.
The beta gives a nice glimpse of what to expect from Fedora 22 which is
slated to be released next month.
Fedora has split in different editions so users can get a lean and
'crisp' Fedora experience instead of a bloated system. There are three
editions of Fedora each targeted at a particular segment: Fedora Cloud,
Fedora Server and Fedora Workstation. Each edition comes with packages
and tools needed for that segment.*
*...
Fedora is among the greatest desktop distros and it does offer a nice
Gnome experience. However there I one think that I miss in it. I think
they can further improve the user experience if they pre-install the
Gnome Tweak Tool. Tweak Tool is one of the most critical pieces of the
Gnome jigsaw puzzle and without it you won't enjoy the great Gnome
experience.
If you want to see what's new in Fedora 22, download the latest betas
from the Fedora download page and give it a try. I will be writing a
'beta' review of this beta soon.

*/Fedora 22 Beta Arrives with Plasma 5 & GNOME 3.16/
http://ostatic.com/blog/fedora-22-beta-arrives-with-plasma-5-gnome-3-16*
*Red Hat and The Fedora Project Team today announced the release of
Fedora 22 Beta, the last developmental release before Final. The default
Workstation ships with GNOME 3.16 but spins are available with KDE
Plasma 5, Xfce, LXDE, MATE, and Sugar in 32-bit and 64-bit. There are
even spins for gaming, robotics, security, media creation, ARM, Docker,
and more not counting the Server and Cloud images. If you can't find a
Fedora to fit, then you don't need Linux.
Fedora 22 Beta replaces Yum with DNF that will provide higher
performance and better dependency management. dnf-yum redirects users
from Yum to DNF and classic Yum has been renamed to yum-deprecated. The
Cloud image includes "the latest versions of rpm-ostree and
rpm-ostree-toolbox, the latter of which can be used to generate Atomic
hosts," Vagrant support, and Atomic command. The Server features a
Database Server Role "that provides a stable D-Bus interface to manage
the deployment of server roles" and an updated Cockpit management.*

*Fedora 22 goes beta*
Red Hat's Fedora project also announced a major update today as it
released the first Beta version of Fedora 22. Like Ubuntu, Fedora Linux
is a favorite among Linux developers, especially those willing to try
out the bleeding edge of new Linux developments. This upstream "sandbox"
version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the leading server-oriented
Linux distribution, is available in server, cloud, and workstation versions.
The Fedora 22 workstation version takes a further step toward replacing
the X window system with Wayland. The login screen is now defined by
Wayland, and the libinput library is now used for both X11 and Wayland
for consistent input device handling, says the Fedora Project. While
most of the Linux world is moving from X to Wayland, Ubuntu is moving
from X to its own homegrown Mir, which will fully debut in Unity 8.
Fedora 22 Beta also provides improved GNOME system event notifications.
In addition, the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) now features better
notifications and gives users additional control over the information
sent via the GNOME privacy control panel.

Write for the Magazine in markdown
by Ryan Lerch
It is now possible to write posts for the Fedora Magazine in Markdown
format.
To do this, make sure you edit your post in the "Text" tab in the
wordpress editing window, not the "Visual" editor. The visual editor
won't show the styled changes either, so be sure to preview the post to
see how it will look on the page.
You can still just write normally too using the visual editor / html
markup as well if markdown isn't your thing.
cheers,

Beta F22 Page Created
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
Have started the beta announcement page on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F22_Beta_release_announcement
A keen eye will note a striking resemblance to the F22 alpha announcement.
We probably need to refine the overall "story" for the F22 release now -
the alpha announcement pretty much is a "here's a collection of
features", and by the final announcement we should really have a more
coherent story about F22 and where we're going.
Some things missing from the alpha we should highlight in beta (assuming
readiness):
* base changes in the distro
* Docker image
What are we missing?
Best,
jzb
