Hey all,
Question - I'm wondering if folks are likely to be grumpy en masse if I include instructions targeted to Mac OS X users for a post on Fedora Magazine?
Context: We're producing two kinds of Vagrant boxes for Fedora 22 Atomic - KVM/libvirt and VirtualBox. The VirtualBox images are most likely to be consumed by Vagrant users on Mac OS X and Windows. That's a Good Thing(TM) if we have devs on Mac OS X/Windows spinning up Fedora for their Docker work/testing.
But it feels slightly weird writing a howto that includes Mac instructions for Fedora Magazine. Thoughts? Hope I'm just being over-sensitive.
Best,

You are going to get pushback but I think that since pretty much all the people I am helping on weekends with Vagrant are MacOSX users.. that it needs to be done.

IMO there's no problem. As ambassador I would love when I can say we don't boycott others s.o. and rather give instructions with howto for everyone. It's also a good way to promote Fedora.

I think it is well within the scope of the magazine to include the instructions in this context. It would be slightly different if writing up instructions to, say describe how to install inkscape on OSX in the magazine.
To me, the proposed instructions are similar to describing how to copy the Fedora ISO to a USB on Windows or OSX -- which would be entirely ok on the magazine too, IMHO.

And actually, this could be a great article in the magazine! Something I feel folks struggle with.
Joe, I'd say go ahead. It's a nice way how to spread our technology to other developers not on Fedora. One thing I'd like to ask is - please, add some Vagrant for beginners part aka what Vagrant is and how it can be used.

I think this would work perfectly fine. We are writing OSX instructions on using Fedora, the end goal still matches what the Fedora magazine is for.

OK, the consensus seems to be "do it!" so I'll try to get this wrapped up today. I am adding a "what's Vagrant" section.
If anybody has any tips or tricks for Vagrant with libvirt feel free to shoot 'em my way.

If you are almost done with this one, do you want to schedule it to post tomorrow? Paul's notification post should be done and out today.

I was just going to throw it up as soon as I got it done, but I can schedule for tomorrow...

I could have maybe phrased that better.

I am looking at this as a way to run Fedora on Mac. I say go ahead.
