Possible Fedora magazine contributer
by Guy Nankivell
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.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Intro/Pitch for kernel article
by Laura Abbott
Hi!
For those who don't know me, I'm one of the members of the Fedora Kernel team on
Fedora engineering. I sometimes write about kernel things on my blog and
would like to contribute kernel topics for Fedora magazine.
I have my first story idea "What makes up the Fedora kernel?" submitted for
review. Feedback welcome!
Thanks,
Laura

Hey all, sorry for the late follow-up here. But I have a ticket created
for this topic and have it added to our meeting agenda for tomorrow.
https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/229
Please take a minute to review the ticket if you can and add any
thoughts / feedback to this. Otherwise, we'll discuss tomorrow!

Friends. Features. Freedom. First. Forever.
by Remy DeCausemaker
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
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!

(jflory7, 21:14:47)
* At the end of every release cycle, the Marketing team looks back on
what it's accomplished during the release, in order to see how
things can be improved for the next one. 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). (jflory7,

the Design Team in their Trac. 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). (jflory7, 21:45:08)
