Hey all,
This article idea was spun and discussed a little in a Common Ops. On to the idea itself:
Interview various Fedora users about what they look forward to in F24 and why. We could do Fedora server, Fedora workstation all together in a single article. The purpose of this article would be to excite folks about Fedora and make them talk about Fedora. More details available on Fedora Magazine [1].
What are your thoughts?

Love the idea!! I'm personally looking forward to Plasma 5 improvements and the effects of Gnome 3.20 on Cinnamon.
Thank you, cheers, Sylvia

I'm personally +1 to this idea for the Magazine to help build some hype for the upcoming release. If we could time this for the week of the beta announcement, I think this article could have a very high impact right around that time period. Maybe even the week before the beta drops to get the suspense rolling.
I've thought about the idea a bit since I think we discussed this in IRC last week. I feel like it would be better to try doing this in a single article versus splitting it up to each edition. I think it would be cool to do an article for each edition, but at the same time, I feel like that could create a lot of duplicate work and might be a delay in getting the article out on time. So I think it would be best to aim for fitting all of the different interviews, quotes, and news into a single article.
The format for this could take on the form of Jiri's article a while ago with email clients. I think the way his article looked and was organized is very effective.

I say you could start putting this draft together now and aim to have it ready the weekend before the week of the beta announcement, just so we have plenty of time to review the content and make sure it all checks out.

I love the idea too. The only thing I might suggest is holding on to this until after Beta (during which time anyone can still download it), but building excitement for GA.

Ha, spoken like a grizzled editor, Justin! :-) I could go either way, but I think your rationale here makes a lot of sense.

I'm huge +1 and thanks to both of you for great input.

That sounds like the best idea to me. So if we had this lined up and ready in advance for post-beta announcement, I think we could have the greatest impact then too. Let's aim for that!

Okay, so let's shoot for a single, comprehensive article, and if we have the time and resources to split them into three, we can do that as a stretch goal for this.
Huiren, if you have any questions about getting started or writing the article, let us know. :) Thanks!

Hey all,
Apologies for getting back so late, been pretty busy.
I've created a Google form to collect responses from Fedorean folks for this article - http://goo.gl/forms/61Y3z9cXqr Would be fantastic if y'all could lend a helping hand and help spread it! :)
Thanks all!
Best Regards, Woo Huiren Fedora Ambassador & Marketing
Yes! Thanks!

Might be a good idea to email specific contributors for this too, e.g. people working on specific areas of Fedora or maybe past people on "How do you Fedora?"
Also couldn't hurt to drop a note to the CommOps list asking for help spreading the word.
Looking forward to seeing where this one goes! :)

Hi all!
It's interesting, I don't know if this article will be published or not on the Magazine, but I wrote a post on my own WordPress reading this and other inputs. And my own thoughts, of course.
Cheers, Sylvia
Hi Sylvia,
I think this was mentioned in one of the magazine meetings. I've put forward that I don't have time to continue this article due to having a crap load of projects and tests since the past few weeks.
I would be happy to share the google form results but theres not much valuable input, let me know if you insist.
It would be fantastic if you could do up this article on fed marketing instead. (Or is someone else alrdy continuing it as per meeting 2 weeks ago?) thanks! :)
Hello Huiren!
If nobody else do it, I can do it myself. But yeah, I'd like to take a look at the results of your Google form. Besides that, I've been absent from meetings (Sorry!) but as you can see, I'm still contributing to the Magazine; so maybe I missed something.
Cheers, Sylvia
Hey Sylvia,
Just wanted to let you know that I didn't mean to be passive aggressive in any manner (read my previous reply n felt it kind of seem like I was), was just trying to say that someone might have already taken up the task. I'll share with you the docs result later.
Thanks for helping to continue this article!! :)
