Hi all,
With the past experience from the Fedora 11 cycle and the rise of Fedora Insight, it was time to change the way our news distribution network works, the main difference between both of them is that:
"The Fedora Insight initiative is a "passive" way of delivering a steady flow of news, while the News Distribution Network is an "active" tool to push the most important news all around the world. "
The new page can be found on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_news_distribution_network_%28NDN%29
What has changed? * During the F11 cycle, we were supposed to write news to this mailinglist, and decide which ones we wanted to send to the NDN. Obviously, this was an epic fail as we never did it this way. * With Fedora Insight, our work will be more focused and streamlined. Our job is tu put content on the Fedora Insight website, along with the News group and other people; we will do this regardless of the NDN. Now we simply have to select the important news stories from FI and send them to NDN, so they can be published internationally.
I don't know the English expression for that, but...on fait d'une pierre deux coups. ;)
Any comments on the new way I'm planning to use the NDN? Its goal is now really to push the most important FI news worldwide, it's a tool deigned just for that.
Thanks Steven

FWIW, it should be possible for us to select stories by some method and tag them in a way that gives you (or anyone involved with the NDN) a display of top stories.

A big +1 from me here. If I'm understanding this correctly, what this means is that all we have to do is worry about getting good (and shiny) content onto FI; if FI contains 100% excellent, public-facing content, NDN's Ambassadors will do the rest in terms of getting individual pieces of that content and the messages they convey into specific, targeted places (individual publications, blogs, podcasts, journalists, etc.)
In other words, FI is how Marketing and News supply the ammo (News filling the water balloons, Marketing polishing them up and delivering them in a convenient box with a map of suggested targets), and the NDN actually loads and shoots the slingshots.

That's it, but why do these poor birds have to die in English? :p

Yep, it sounds quite natural in fact :)
