Fedora Handbook - Call for Native Speakers
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
at last year's Flock I announced Fedora Handbook (a "getting started
with Fedora" guide that is printed and can be give away at event etc.).
Because it was created in the Czech community, the original is in
Czech. The handbook was very successful at Czech events, so we
translated it to English, so that it could be used abroad and
translated to other languages.
We have initial English translation, but it's rough and it needs a lot
of proofreading and rewriting which is something that needs to be done
by a native speaker.
It's written in AsciiDoc, easily readable and editable format: https://
github.com/lukaskotek/fedora-handbook-doc
Any volunteer to help? It'd be great to have it finished and printed
for Flock 2016. All I need is final text, we'll take care of
typesetting and printing.

What's new in your Spin / Lab for F25?
by Justin W. Flory
Hello all,
This email is being sent on behalf of the Marketing team in regards to
the upcoming Fedora 25 release.
We're in the process of generating talking points…
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_25_talking_points
…about what all is new in the different editions, spins, and labs of
Fedora. As members of various spins or lab SIGs, we would like to know
what all is new and coming up in the latest versions of the Spins or
Labs you're involved with for F25.
A few bullet points about anything that's new is all that's needed. This
can be added directly to the wiki page or you can reply to this email
with the information, and we'll add them to the wiki. You can see
examples of what this page looks like from the previous release:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_talking_points
If you have info or knowledge about what's new in Xfce, please let us
know in time for the Alpha release announcement - if emailing, please
reply to the Marketing list or email me directly. Thanks all!

Cheers,
Justin W. Flory
