Re: [Marketing] Feedback needed on Fedora 25 announcements

[Brian Proffitt]

Based on Zbigniew's feedback, and working with Matt Miller's announcement
from the Red Hat blog, I have put together a new draft for review. Please
review at your earliest convenience[1]

Peace,
Brian

Hey Brian, I just had a chance to review. Overall, this looks awesome 
and it's exciting to see the "story" component to the release 
announcement covered ahead of time. I'm also CCing the Magazine list as 
a reference for the F25 Beta announcement on the Magazine.

For the snippet about Wayland, maybe it would also be good to mention 
some of the security benefits of it over X11? Even though I anticipate 
there to be kickback regardless, I think the security benefits over X11 
might be a good point to highlight too along with the usability 
enhancements. I'm not super informed on what the specific security 
enhancements are other than separation/contained windows, but this 
shouldn't be too hard to find.

Other than that, this all looks good to me. The Magazine edition should 
definitely make use of linking to some of the bigger things mentioned in 
the wiki article, like something about Project Atomic.

I added a brief mention of security at the Waylnd menion. If someone could
backcheck me, that would be great.

I shared the links in #fedora-workstation, #fedora-server, and 
#fedora-cloud this morning for good measure. The Workstation folks said 
it was good to go on their end. Server WG also said the same thing, but 
were also going to try getting Cockpit developers to take a peek. The 
Cloud WG (dustymabe) took a look and replied to your post on the Cloud 
mailing list.
