Bylines on Community Blog?
by Joe Brockmeier 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hey all, Any chance of getting proper bylines on the community blog? That is, you know, a name with a link to a bio for the author? (And I do mean *name* not just someone's nick.) I like the footer on Fedora Magazine with the author's name, bio, and link to site + Twitter. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Community Team, OSAS jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

[Magazine…?] The Black Box
by Justin W. Flory 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Hi all, This email is about a pitch idea I have, but I'm looking at identifying if the Fedora Magazine is the best audience for it, or if I should consider an alternative publishing source like OSDC. The same student at the Rochester Institute of Technology who designed the laser interface software in the laser light show article a couple of months back also has another awesome project... introducing the Black Box. He designed this for one of the courses in RIT's FOSS minor. The Black Box is a mysterious black box! What does it do? You don't know. It's locked. It's a mysterious black box. What the presenter will then tell you is that it's a service that offers a free encryption service. However, you can't know how it works. That is not allowed. To make a longer (and very hilarious) story short, the presenter then shows you how the encryption method is actually backdoored and is arbitrary. But… what is inside the Black Box? After it is unlocked, it is revealed that the insides actually contain a small sample of radioactive material and a Geiger counter! The Black Box uses an open-source kernel module to generate a random number from the read of the Geiger counter. I was able to see it presented it live, and it was quite the show! The lesson behind the Black Box is to show how with proprietary software, you don't actually know what's going on "behind closed doors". It's a very engaging, exciting, and maybe ever so slightly dangerous project that I think is a fantastic example of breaking down the difference between open and closed software development. Links to his project are below: http://brendan-w.com/rng https://github.com/brendan-w/kRad So, as mentioned earlier, my question is whether or not this would be appropriate for the Magazine. It doesn't have a specific tie into Fedora, which is why I'm wondering if it's relevant enough for us. Curious to know your thoughts! Thanks. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Streaming live from conferences
by Lord Drachenblut 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Greetings all. During the course of streaming live from the Fedora booth at SCALE14x I was contacted by another ambassador wishing to replicate the experience at SELF. Which brings up how do we want to handle giving people access to the streaming key for YouTube. I'm uncertain if we can add people as managers to that channel which would also give them access to the ability to stream live. One way it can be handled is by simply giving them the key, which can be reset after the event if need be. I really want to enable any community member to be able to live stream from a event they are at but want to have some plans in place for how to handle granting access to the stream key, needed by applications such as obsproject.com to stream to YouTube, and possibly how to handle granting access to the YouTube back end interface. Thanks for the time Cheers Matthew "Lord Drachenblut" Williams -- Cheers Matthew "Lord Drachenblut" Williams

[Magazine] Subtle scheduling changes
by Justin W. Flory 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi all, A few small changes were made to the publishing schedule for the rest of this week and into next week. Earlier this week, we swapped the dates on the stickers article from Monday to Wednesday (swapping with Shotwell). A few other changes have happened: === Stickers === The stickers article is still not ready to ship because of some potential problems I saw with using the DevConfCZ stickers. https://imgur.com/a/Trg5w These pictures show off some awesome stickers, but many of the stickers pictured are not any of the UnixStickers stickers, so I'm not sure it's a good idea we feature them in this article. Ideally, we would just want the teardrop sticker on a few different things. In the meanwhile, I've decided to hold off on finishing this article to see if we can get some pictures of the UnixStickers.com stickers or if we can find a viable alternative. We can go over this tomorrow at the meeting and try to ship as soon as possible. === GPG, part 3 === "GPG: Using Your Key" is scheduled for 8:00 UTC on 2016-02-12. cprofitt++ for another fantastic addition to the series. === F24 Wallpapers === Sirko's F24 wallpaper submission announcement article is scheduled for 8:00 UTC on 2016-02-15, as we agreed in January. I did a final pass of editing earlier tonight as well and I give it my +1. === Neville Cross: How do you Fedora? === Neville's HDYF article is scheduled for 8:00 UTC on 2016-02-17. williamjmorenor++ yn1v++ cprofitt++ === GPG, part 4 === The final GPG article in this series is in the process of being drafted and is intended to be scheduled for 2016-02-19. That's all from me tonight. Thanks all! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Any extra pushes we can make to put Fedora in the edge of IoT is a good idea. Anyone know of anyone in the Project who might be interested in talking about something they're working on in this realm? Even if not, we might still be able to turn something like this into a Magazine article too. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[Social Media] SCaLE Event Report
by Justin W. Flory 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hello all, Earlier last week, an Ambassador from North America, Perry Rivera, wrote up a thorough event report summarizing his experiences at SCaLE 14x and the activities that happened with Fedora. I think this might be a good idea for an article to share on social media to show what Fedora is up to on the ground. https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/scale-14x-2016-event-report-pasaden… -- Cheers, Justin W.
