Possible Fedora magazine contributer
by Guy Nankivell 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi there Fedora Magazine! My name is Guy and I am interested in contributing to the Fedora Magazine. A little about myself: I am 19 (almost 20!) years of age studying a conjoint degree in Science and Commerce at the University of Auckland. My passions lie in Physics, Road Cycling, anything wine related and all things Linux. I have been a Linux user for the scoffworthy time period of a mere four years and in that time have flirted with many distributions but my heart always lands back with Fedora. I have a job as a Python developer which I pick up in my summer holidays working with a local team on an open source ERP solution. In all honesty, I haven't given much thought to what I would like to write about as I saw this opportunity and jumped at it. I think that my contributions can be quite varied solely as my research capabilities are quite good. Perhaps a starting point would be my interest in Fedora's interaction with people and how this manifests itself in a powerful community. I would (tentatively) consider myself a power user and I think I could comment on upcoming developments with proficiency and merit. While this as a sample is rather poor in terms of relevance, it is a good example of my style of writing. http://www.gratiaapp.com/travel-blog/12-new-zealand/auckland/43-stonyridge-… http://www.gratiaapp.com/travel-blog/12-new-zealand/auckland/50-man-o-war-v… I look forward to hearing from you, Guy

Hi! For those who don't know me, I'm one of the members of the Fedora Kernel team on Fedora engineering.

Friends. Features. Freedom. First. Forever.
by Remy DeCausemaker 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Fedorans, When I packed up my entire life and moved to fair Rollywood this past January to be closer to Red Hat Tower and dive head-first into this role as the first ever Fedora Community Action and Impact Lead, it was an absolute dream for me. Every day, I'm working with some of the most talented, motivated, brilliant hackers, designers, and volunteers that build and ship the operating system at the core of my digital existence--not to mention much of the enterprises and infrastructure around the world. The scale of problems, and the speed at which we are solving them, is still absolutely mind-blowing to me. I love my job. I love my team. I love the Fedora Community. I love Red Hat. Wholeheartedly. Thank you, all of you. Never did I imagine there would ever be another opportunity that could sway me from this path, which I flipped my life upside down to pursue... but then I got the call... Things are moving quickly, and I don't have all the details yet, but it looks like I'm going to be the first ever Open Source Campaign Manager for the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton. I have to be at campaign HQ in Brooklyn NY ready to hit the ground running on Monday. I will be spending my last 24 hours as a Red Hatter flipping my entire life upside down, again, and I wanted to give the community one last window to ping me with any outstanding business or questions, and direct you to the appropriate channels thereafter. After tomorrow, I'm going to be packing up and moving to Brooklyn to work 8 days a week until roughly Thanksgiving ;) In my absence, here is a list of points of contact for FCL business (cc'd above,) until my replacement arrives. For all things related to: - Fedora Council, Matthew Miller: mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org - Fedora Budget, Events, and ambassadors, Joe Brockmeier: jzb(a)redhat.com - Fedora Engineering/Infrastructure, Paul Frields: pfrields(a)fedoraproject.org - Community Operations/CommBlog/Mktg/Misc, the Community Operations Team: commops(a)lists.fedoraproject.org I know the timing is less than ideal, with Red Hat Summit next week, and Flock in August, but, I believe this position will bring the most visibility to the work and principles that Red Hat, Fedora, and the FOSS community stand for. I find strength, purpose, and peace in these words of George Bernard Shaw: "...I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. ...Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." This is one of those "once in a lifetime" moments in our history, and if the Free and Open Source Software Movement can be part of that, then I'm willing to answer the call. Happy Hacking, --RemyD.

[Minutes] [2016-06-22] Marketing retrospective, F24 press, future of Docs, and more!
by Justin W. Flory 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hey all, Figured I'd try a new, slightly less robotic form of sending out meeting minutes with a brief summary of the discussions in the top. Today's meeting mostly focused on writing the upcoming Marketing retrospective to analyze how we did this release cycle. Gabri helped write the first one in many years for 2015, and we'd like to continue doing that this release as well. Additionally, we're trying to round up any links for all press on F24 so far. This will fit into the Marketing retrospective wiki page once it's up. Finally, there's a lot of juicy info on the future of the Docs team, where, and how they publish their content. There is a slight overlap with the Magazine which is why we covered this tonight. Check out the minutes for more info below! = = = = = Meeting ended Wed Jun 22 21:51:40 2016 UTC.

This process of reflection is called a "retrospective," and it's a nice pause between the hecticness of release cycles (and traditionally serves as a point of leadership transition for the team, when applicable).

If you are interested in being involved with efforts to promote and publish Flock items, please join #fedora-flock for more info and to be a part of the conversation! (jflory7, 21:30:31) * Future Docs Platform (jflory7, 21:42:20) * The Docs Team is working on moving to a different platform / type of content for publishing articles than what the Fedora docs currently provide. It comes off as very "enterprisey" and less "StackOverflow-ish". (jflory7, 21:42:53) * The success of the Magazine has informed the decision for the Docs Team to move to a more modular style / topic-based content (as compared to comprehensive manuals). (jflory7, 21:43:36) * This change should help boost the visibility of the Fedora Docs for users and in search engine results. The decision was made recently at the Docs FAD earlier this month. (jflory7, 21:44:13) * Important factor of consideration is to make sure the Magazine and future Docs platform remain separate in the type of content they provide - we don't want to have one obsolete the other. bkp mentions the idea of FM and OpenSource.com hosting great articles, but nobody confuses them with documentation (e.g. something like the Arch Wiki).
