Hey everyone,
A few weeks back, you may have received an IRC notice from the freenode staff about their community team and a blog post they had authored on their website.
https://freenode.net/news/community
In short, the freenode community team is looking for more ways to engage with the open source communities throughout freenode and to showcase the awesome work happening throughout freenode. I reached out via email to their community team to see if Fedora could try to help pilot something with regards to these new outreach efforts. Fortunately, the freenode folks have been more than kind to help provide us with some awesome opportunities! This is exciting because I think we will be helping drive this effort throughout the entire freenode community as positive role models.
There's two things they were hoping to work with us on:
1) Articles about the Fedora Project, the Fedora community, or other exciting news about Fedora for the freenode blog and other platforms 2) Hosting an AMA on IRC to accompany a blog post for community members across freenode to ask questions about Fedora and engage with the project
They were also interested in having general articles about open source, IRC tips, etc. that could be a good opportunity to showcase technical expertise from Fedora community members for sharing across freenode.
One of the first things I would like to help put together for this is a general, introductory article about Fedora for a broad open source audience. It seems like an obvious thing to do, but I was having troubles locating any kind of "usual spiel" on this. Since it's something fundamental to identifying Fedora in the open source community, I wasn't sure if there was any kind of content like this available already we could pull from? If not, I would be happy to try writing something up and getting feedback from the rest of the team, but I figured I would ask first before accidentally duplicating work.
Thanks everyone! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, feel free to idle in their channel as well (#freenode-community).
I would like to approach them if they interested in using Zanata for i18n. Who is the best person to contact?

Hi Alex! Sorry for the slow response. The person I contacted was Svante Bengtson swant@freenode.net. However, their community team email is community@freenode.net, so I might try reaching out there first.

Awesome -- thanks for doing this, Justin!

I can see an article with some statistics for how much we use and depend on Freenode every day.

It took me a little longer than I wanted to circle back around to this, but I have a first draft of something we could share with the freenode team to publish on their community blog. Since this would likely be shared across a wide audience, I wanted to make sure that we get our messaging right in this article (CCing Magazine and CommOps mailing lists too). It might also be because I'm tired, but I was trying to brainstorm ideas for how to use IRC effectively a la Fedora's recommendations, but was coming up short. Any additions or ideas would be appreciated!
You can find a public preview of the article here:

Feel free to critique any other parts of the article as well – I am very open to feedback! Thanks everyone.

Following up on this now! Now that my exams are finished, I've had more time to swing around and finish up on things. I submitted a PR to the freenode website with a blog post titled, "Celebrating Fedora 25 with freenode". I would appreciate any feedback on the post (preferably in the GitHub issue, but the Marketing mailing list works fine as well).
https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/pull/276
Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on this! Hopefully we can get this added to the front page of https://freenode.net soon. :)
