I think this is a *great* starting point for an article. Paul is a very
likable guy, and I'm sure an article featuring him would garner some of
that popularity as well.

*Please* don't just copy and paste his mail to the community into a
Magazine post.  There's a story here about Paul and his history with the
community, the history of his new position, the thoughts of his new
subordinates, the impact on the project, and whatever I didn't think of.
We should be treating these mailing list posts as sources in the
journalistic sense, not as sources of content to be piped verbatim into
wordpress.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the kind words.  I'd be happy to participate if I can
manage against some other deadlines.  If someone wants to pull
together some questions and send them to me, I can definitely
answer that way, interview-style, if that's how you guys would like to
see this.  Do you have other ideas?

Interview format sounds good to me.  Thanks for indulging us, Paul, and
please speak up if there are specific topics you'd like to touch on.

Ankur, you and I seem to sync up on IRC often enough; care to get together
over a gobby session and some beer this weekend to hash out some questions
for Paul?  (an open invitation, but BYOB :)

+1. I didn't mention it, but I was thinking of interview style posts
too. Copy pasting stuff wouldn't really work as Pete pointed out.

Hehe. Sure thing! We're celebrating Diwali[1] this weekend so I might
not be around as much as I usually am, though. But we'll do this
whenever some of us folks run into each other on the IRC.

PS: I just submitted appdata files for gobby[2]. There were two versions
available and the difference between them wasn't obvious.

Yes. Even if it is a small(er) interview, it would add context to Paul's note.

Not yet. I'm happy to just send bits to the list and let folks do the
publishing though. :)

(I feel my drafts aren't up to the mark for a final version that should
be published.)

I've logged in using Fedora OpenID but never attempted to publish
anything. I'm happy to just send stuff to the list that folks can
proofread and post when they have the cycles :)

Hey folks,

I would suggest adding a new category 'interviews' on the magazine and add it in
our main menu as well. 

Thoughts/flames?

+1 for adding the category. -1 for adding the menu entry; that can wait
until there are enough interviews posted to warrant that kind of
organization.
