Hello everyone,
On the Monday's meeting[1] we discussed about creating a new category and adding it in
the main menu of the Fedora Magazine. In this new category we can choose every week an
article from Fedora Planet, and publish it in the magazine as well. Roshi stepped forward
on this, and said he can choose articles from the planet

Hi,
I think it's a good idea, and also would like to add few more items-ideas:
- Package-app selections from repository - introductions, descriptions
(search in google plus for #dailypackage hash)
- Packagers/QA/Translations wishlist
- Testing days
Thoughts?

Don't forget comments. ;-)
Quick thought: Do we have permission to republish material that appears
on the Planet to the magazine? Skimming the Planet Howto I don't see
that we grant permission for forklifting materials from our blog to
another publication. It may seem like a triviality/formality, but it's
possible that we'd annoy a contributor if we post something on the
magazine without asking first.
So, we plan to ask first, right?

My thoughts initially (not sure if I actually *said* anything about it
though) were to find some posts we liked, vote which we wanted to
publish for the week then contact the person who wrote it and see if
they minded. This might help out with people wanting to be part of
marketing and the magazine. Was also thinking we could get a badge made
for it :)
In response to Zoltan, I think the package selection is a great idea. I
was actually pondering something similar. I've learned a great deal
from the Python Module of the Week [1] and thought it might be fun
(though time consuming) to do something with Fedora packages or tools -
like deltaisos. Those are awesome.
Test days I'm working to get more coverage of for sure. Good thoughts
all around I think.

A badge for the editing, or people who had their post chosen? "Gold Star
Blog Post" or something might be cool.
Not sure voting is necessary - if someone is taking point on this, we
should empower them to run with it, IMHO. (And if there's 2+ excellent
posts, why limit things? Re-running all of Planet would be excessive,
but if we find N+1 great posts in a week and the authors are OK with
reposts, then cool by me.)

Honestly, I don't think it'd hurt to rerun all of the
directly-Fedora-relevant content from the planet. Possibly this could even
be done automatically for people who agree to it and who agree to follow
certain rules? I stopped following it regularly because of the amount of
non-Fedora content, which is kind of a shame because there _is_ a lot of
great Fedora activity that I'm missing.

Might wind up with quite a lot of content hitting the site that way.
Might, not sure.
But I think we're all agreed: Running some posts from Planet with assent
from the authors is a good thing. (Yes?)
We can start small and work our way up, I think. Is someone prepped to
run with that?

Well, I don't know how "prepped" I am, but it was already on my ToDo
list. I'll find some articles and send them here to the list for
preview - just so we're all on the same page and everyone knows
what kinds of things I was looking at when selecting articles.
That work for starters?

I like it. At first I thought "$EXPLETIVE, I hope this isn't suggesting we
pipe the planet feed into the Magazine just to have more content!". Weekly
features is ideal. It wouldn't be a good idea to lean too heavily on a
small group of bloggers though, even if their posts are consistently more
suited to the venue.

Something like "*New* Package of the Week" would be interesting too. It
would have the side benefit of being more likely to include and involve
newly sponsored packagers.

Hi,
We have been done similar in ancient times, it was callled dailypackages
what name has been taken over by myself, because the original Chris Tyler's
blog series content is dead since 2008. But still can be found some
remaining fragments at source. [1]
If you check it, you see that every post is goes around an specific theme
(Artsy Tuesday, Productive Monday, etc) , so with that if we copy the
method - we can cover every group activity, and everyone can select one
"candy" within his interest. Also if possible, I would like to add not only
news about new codes (Fedora Hosted projects), else QA testing news,
how-to's and perhaps requests too as a developers/engineers "corner" page.
Under requests I would like to see callings for tasks - Like we are looking
for xy workgroup testing, or set or write documentation, or whaterver. Also
if you add some contests, and rare stuff (1 fedora keyboard, mice,
keychain, etc) as a contest if the task is done, we can have our own Fedora
Summer of Code slowly, and more better code.
With these touches, we can achieve more active community, more feedback,
and the marketing team can be the backup for ambassadors, feedback of the
teams, and the contact with the PR.
HTH with my ideas.
