updating the cheat cube?
by Matthew Miller 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

In the swag session. Sirko suggested (earlier) that updating the cheat cube https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_collateral#Fedora_Cheat_Cubes might be useful. It needs to be refreshed for systemd, and it could also feature a) atomic commands, and b) keyboard shortcuts in Workstation. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Fedora Atomic Web site
by Joe Brockmeier 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hey all, Apologies for all the CC's but this spans a number of areas and I want to make sure we're touching all the right lists. My main goal is to reach out to the Websites team, but this also touches on marketing and (of course) cloud. As you might know, one of the changes for F23 is the two-week Atomic release. This means the Fedora Atomic host will be on its own cycle and not released in the same cadence as Fedora Cloud, Workstation, or Server. We still want to tout the work we're doing here and make it easy for folks to use and contribute to. Part of the proposal is to have a separate "site" (or page) that promotes Atomic specifically - separately from the Cloud edition. So - a couple of questions: - where should this page "live"? Should it be something like fedoraproject.org/atomic, atomic.fedoraproject.org, or projectatomic.io/fedora? (Maybe all/some of the above via redirect magic?) - Do folks on the websites team have time and interest to work on this in this cycle? If the answer to the second is "yes" - will any of y'all be at Flock to discuss in person? If "no" I'd still appreciate feedback on your thoughts about where said page should "live" -- and any other considerations that you think are appropriate. Thanks! jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Community Team, OSAS jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

F23 alpha release announcement
by Joe Brockmeier 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hey all, Checking in on this - I know Gabriele and other folks had done a lot of work on the talking points and such last week or so - but I don't know if we have a F23 alpha release draft anywhere. We're pretty close to the release (10 a.m. Eastern tomorrow) so I had a mild panic this evening that we may be missing it. Or maybe I missed it in the flurry of emails. I can *probably* bang something out tomorrow morning early, but I'll be getting ready for Flock and would prefer not to duplicate effort. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Community Team, OSAS jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

Fedora Magazine URL's marked as spam?
by Momcilo Medic 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Hi friends! I've taken over @FedoraSrbija Twitter account in effort of revitalizing it. I was trying to post two different tweets from this and my private account and both failed with the message: "This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can't complete this action right now. Please try again later." Exact wording is as follows. First tweet: "Problem sa niskom slavinom? Fedora i tu pomaže :) Ukratko o koracima u 3D štampi: http://fedoramagazine.org/3d-printing-in-fedora-from-an-idea -to-the-thing/" Translated: "Troubles with low tap? Fedora can help there as well :) Short overview of 3D printing steps: http://fedoramagazine.org/3d-printing-in-fedora-f rom-an-idea-to-the-thing/" Second tweet: "Podešavanje raznih #Telegram klijenata u Fedori: http://fedoramagazine.org/telegram-in-fedora/" Translated: "Setting up various #Telegram clients in Fedora: http://fedoramagazine.org/telegram-in-fedora/" Is this known issue with Twitter? Is there anything we can do? I guess some link obscuring may help, but it doesn't feel right doing so. -- Kind regards, Momcilo 'Momo' Medic. (fedorauser)

Article: Make Firefox Look Native in Fedora
by Jiri Eischmann 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Hi, I've written an article on how to integrate Firefox more into Fedora Workstation because that's what users are frequently complaining about. I'd like to ask for a review and proof reading. I've also filed a ticket asking for a banner: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/397 Jiri

Current role list and workflow reminder
by Paul W. Frields 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

I was talking to Mr. Managing Editor[1] about reviving the idea of a management meeting and workflow for posts. http://fedoramagazine.org/publishing-workflow/ Ryan put this page (unlinked) together to describe the publication workflow and roles. There are some tools in the WordPress instance itself to help us maintain a schedule of posts. I think that would work well with this workflow. There are some other helpful pages available too, but this one relates to some info below. To use the workflow effectively, I think it's helpful to have a short weekly gathering, at a reasonably suitable time, to get people assigned to edit and schedule posts. If we try for something between hours of 1200 and 1400 UTC (currently, adjust for daylight time later), would that work OK for interested folks? * * * I wasn't sure people were aware of the current role memberships on the Magazine, so while I was logged in I decided to take accounting: * Editor: dustymabe, kushal, roshi * Author: adamw, amitshah, amsharma, ankursinha, arg, ashutoshbhakare, Award3535, bckurera, blacksmith, churchyard, cwickert, dwalsh, eischmann, emichan, gerd, giuseppep, immanetize, inode0, jkurik, jomoos, jstribny, kinitrupti, kiso49j, krazyabouttechnology, langdon, mailga, markdude, markllama, mattn, mhayden, phantomhell, pingou, pravins, rikkiendsley, scollier, siddhesh, sparks, tatica, tforsman, williamjmorenor * Administrator: chrisroberts, cydrobolt, duffy, jreznik, jzb, mattdm, Mitzie, nb, pfrields, randomuser, robyduck, rsuehle, ryanlerch, sgallagh Right now the default user role is Subscriber, but promotion to Author should be widely encouraged for anyone who wants to pitch or draft something. There's a Contributor role but it doesn't seem to have much utility beyond the Author role AFAICT. The only difference between Editor and Administrator seems to be the ability to twiddle the WordPress configuration, which should only needed occasionally. I'd recommend we move all but maybe 5-7 Administrators to the Editor role, being careful to maintain global coverage with that group. Any Editor can edit and publish stories so this should have no effect on our ability to move material quickly.

RFC: Magazine post "Fedora 23 screenshot tour"
by Ankur Sinha 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Hiya, So we've been discussing the screenshots and we seem to agree that the wiki isn't a good place that we should be directing users to. Here's an alternative plan that I'd like feedback on: 1. Collect all the screenshots we can on the wiki as usual. 2. About release time, have a "Fedora 23 Workstation screenshot tour" post on the Fedora magazine where we use the best images from the wiki collection. This post could have a "see other DEs" that links to the wiki if we manage to get screenshots of KDE and so on. I vaguely recall wordpress having a gallery plugin (if this is needed at all). 3. getfedora.org has a "Take a screenshot tour link" on the workstation product page that links to the Fedora magazine post. The idea being that we show users screenshots, but we don't point them to the wiki directly since the wiki isn't as posh as getfedora.org or fedoramagazine. Having a link to the wiki on the fedoramgazine post also ensures that people are sort of aware of the library. We can even have say "Feel free to use these screenshots in your posts. They're all under the CC license". Comments? -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha
