The magazine looks sad when it's two 5tFTW posts in a row. :)

Hi, I've tested GNOME on Wayland extensively in the last couple of days and I don't have any plans for 2nite, so hey let's do it :)

It's over 8000 now. I'm also surprised how popular it is. Wayland seems to be a new attention catcher, people are interested in it.

Total faith in your ability to write this and that it'll reflect well on Fedora Magazine/Fedora in general.
My main question was more around opening the door to a Fedora publication to opinion pieces, and what might that lead to down the road.

I think this needs to be more of an editorial space than a letters-to-the-editor section. I think anything we run needs to:
1) Aim to advance our overall mission, 2) be in line with and promote the Fedora foundations, and 3) obviously, but let's say it: follow the Fedora code of conduct.
I don't know if we need more process than just saying that and trusting our submitters and editors; I hope we don't.

I've no qualms about having this kind of opinion piece. I did want to say that I think Fedora Magazine on the whole should retain a user-centric slant, and not get too focused on internal community issues.
This doesn't mean I'm against running this article. In the larger view I would like to avoid having too many of such articles. The magazine could easily become less interesting over time to wider audiences if that happened.

Hmmm. I agree, but... we also need a central focus for running things that are about internal community issues. I am working on some stuff about project objectives (as part of the new fedora council), and I can do it as mailing list posts but I'd really like it to be more... blog posty, with discussion to follow.
I can set up my own personal FPL blog, but... I'm historically terrible at that whereas it turns out to be easier for me to be _part_ of something, if that makes sense. And, it would kind of be nice to have a central place for things which _are_ more internal. The Fedora Council seems like a good example — a general overview makes a good user-focused article, but details beyond that are probably more interesting to contributors, and the elections articles (like the interviews we were talking about) are _meant_ for contributors.
I know Ryan was talking about wanting to reduce the number of categories. What if we made it just two, for user-focused and contributor-focused articles? Maybe keeping 5tFTW as a separate thing which covers both — or, possibly splitting that into two separate posts, one for each category (and probably removing the "5" from both, because speaking from experience 10 total would be crazy).

I like this idea. Let me see if I understand it: If you hit the site blindly (http://fm.o) you'd see the general user feed (e.g. "For Users"). There'd be some way to choose "For Contributors" and you could see that stuff too. Is that accurate?

Yep. See right now where we have
Fedora News | Fedora This Week | Events | Fedora Badges | Videos
?
We would instead have
Fedora User Stuff | Fedora Contributor Stuff | Fedora This Week
Except those are placeholder titles for Friday afternoon. :)
I'd probably ask our devoted designers to make them a little more prominent in the next theme refresh, too. And possibly a little permanent text block at the top of Fedora Contributor Stuff explaining what the separate feed is for.
Articles can be in multiple categories; the vague idea I have is that FTW would be split into two posts for users and contributors, and then each post in both that category _and_ the overall FTW.
I'm also thinking of asking the new Fedora Council members in Outreach and Engineering to send me at least one Thing in their area every week. Or possibly even _everyone_ on the council in their area. (I could also hand it off entirely, but I've found that the diligence of doing it is a) good for me and b) a kind of continual "project goings-on awareness engine" which I want to keep up.)

I think "For Users" and "For Contributors" are better than anything I could think of, and also just trying making "Fedora This Week" its own top-level and not putting it on the others, even though "For Users" is probably the best front page.
Ryan, Chris, anyone -- what do you think?
Hey Matthew,
+1 to this, I think For Users and For Contributors will make navigation a lot simpler. I know Fedora Videos likes having the video section up there. Are we able to keep that section as well?

We haven't really had fedora videos for a long time, though. Except for the screencast Paul made a few weeks ago and my icebucket challenge, the only videos we have had for years are Flock talks. How about we add it back when the Videos team starts regularly producing content again?

I added the categories but didn't take anything away yet. I noticed, experimentally, that it's easy to bulk add categories to posts, but there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them. It's also hard to go through the list of all posts and select one or the other. It'd be easier if they were in an "unassigned" bucket. Therefore, I think the easiest way is going to be:
1. Make sure the last 20 posts or so are in one of the new categories (the 5tFTW posts all area already in that category, btw) 2. Change the header 3. Delete all of the other categories, which will dump the uncategorized ones to the "uncategorized" category. 4. Go through "uncategorized" and assign the For Users ones 5. Go through "uncategorized" and assign the For Contributors ones

Hmmm, not sure about these -- they are categories of audience, rather than of content. Not sure we want to make the divide of intended audience front and centre like that. Maybe we can have:
* Workstation * Cloud * Server * Community * This Week
I think those will cover most of the possible content we will generate.
also, are we intending for posts to be in just one of these categories? or 1 to many of these categories?

+1 with Matthew(Fedora User Stuff | Fedora Contributor Stuff | Fedora this Week). I also like Ryan's idea, but I think it will turn out to be too complicated, if someone eg. would like to get development updates for the whole project, and not only for a specific product

I was thinking just one. With your scheme, I think there would be a lot of "fits in several buckets". Not necessarily bad....
I was also thinking that we'd make "For Users" the front page; with your idea, maybe it'd fit more to have the front just show one big featured article every few days (full article), plus prominent (graphical) links to the other categories (maybe with the latest articles in those down a sidebar?) I dunno, you're the designer. :)

Would it make sense to have categories in WP to delineate between Workstation, Cloud, and Server content but still keep it all in one place under Users?

We _can_ have sub-categories. My thinking is that it's better to keep those simple, though, and use tags (generously) for further organization.

i am not following up here very much at the moment - and perhaps this idea was already considered for the magazine, but maybe the Ambassador Event Reports can add some noise to the magazine. Along with a bit post-editing by the magazine folks, this may contribute to more content? It does not need to be a huge process - just a place where Ambassadors can send an heads up about the Reports that they produce anyway.

Yes, this sounds _perfect_. In fact, I'd love to make this the default for event reports.
