Hello all,
Thanks to Matt's quick responses to the interview questions, I was able to write up a preliminary draft of an article for the Community Blog about the upcoming Fedora Activity Day for Python 3 package porting. It is set to occur over this weekend, so I would like to aim for it be pushed out Thursday morning, Friday at the latest.

I would appreciate if some other people wanted to give it a quick look-over or make a featured image since I think this is a pretty notable topic. Some of the content is missing (e.g. why Python 3 over Python 2?) and I am hoping to have that filled in over the next day or so. Otherwise, it's pretty content-complete.
Thanks!

Looking good!
I did a little work to the opening paragraph to try to include a call to action in the opening paragraph. Wanted to give the reader the call at the top too just in case they don't read further. I left the call to action you had at the bottom too -- doesnt hurt to have two :)
Also, added some start times (i guessed these, we will need to check them) -- and found a plugin that also shows the time in the user's timezone which seems pretty neat and useful :)
i'm not too worried about cover images on the Community blog, TBH, as we have the whole posts in the stream rather than the cards like on the magazine. But if you want a coverimage, i can whip one up.
Also, might need to mess with the blockquote style, as it seems the bg color for them is the same as the post bodies, and it looks a little werid.
cheers, ryanlerch

Thanks for the edits, definitely looking more polished now! That time localization plugin is neat - that will be a nice addition for CommBlog-specific things to help coordinate times for things like this. Matt should be able to confirm the times for us - he's still working on logging into the CommBlog.
For reference, the current times advertised in the post are: - START: 2015 Nov 14, 13:00 UTC - END: 2015 Nov 15, 1:00 UTC
That's what I was thinking in the big picture as well, featured images shouldn't be a blocker for CommBlog posts. I suppose this one will be fine since we have the badge image embedded in the post, so it does have an image in there.
Planning on getting that last section worked in the next few hours for sure so we can be on track for a publish time of 7:00 UTC Thursday.
