I was just thinking about a Fedora News Channel

[Markus McLaughlin]

I too think there should a Fedora News Channel site covering success stories
with Fedora, Red Hat related news concerning Fedora, educational uses of
Fedora, multimedia uses, and FUN things to do with it as well.

If anyone loves the idea too, let's propose : FedoraNews.wordpress.com,
which anyone can add a blog posting, a photo, a video in Theora & QuickTime
from a FUDcon, audio using OGG Vorbis & AAC...

This site will automatically use RSS (which I add feeds to my most excellent
RSS reader : Rhetoris, for MACs,
which utiliizes text to speech.)  *GOOGLE Rhetoris, Mac Users!*  :D

Have a great Fourth of July!

So do I :)

However, Red Hat already has its own magazine, let's keep both separated,
don't you think ?

Why at wordpress.com ? Couldn't Fedora host it ?

This looks more like a planet to me, and there is already the
planet.fedoraproject.org

IMHO, a FedoraNews site should be run by a "journalists" team (of course
open for everyone to contribute) with editorial rules so that the content
remains consistent.

Those are also just the sorts of things we'd love to run under the 
Fedora tag on Red Hat Magazine.

There's no need to form a separate website on a separate domain.
Fedora has the capacity to host it itself, and also the expertise to
implement it, it would be much better if you were to join the
infrastructure team and offer to help them... or if that doesn't
interest you keep an eye out on this list for the announcement of when
things are ready for writers and editors to begin work on what's
happening already and offer to help out there.

Best,

Jon

Why are you so obsessed with Red Hat news, Red Hat business decisions? 
This is Fedora.

How about you joining Fedora Weekly News and doing some work? We are in 
need for contributors
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN

The plan is to move FWN away from the wiki and to something like 
Wordpress and get, among other things, RSS feeds.

A simple solution already exists, lets get these things on the Fedora
channel on Miro.  Jonathan Roberts can post anything there you like.

https://www.miroguide.com/channels/6891

Would this work?

Correction.. anything I like.  I will have very stern things to say if
there is a lot of Red Hat centric business 'news' being submitted
ahead of Fedora community items.  I have deliberately brought the
subject of the miro channel to a Fedora community forum instead of
pigeonholing people who work on Red Hat Magazine to avoid the easy
solution of having the "professionals" create another outlet for their
"news."  That would defeat the whole point.  I do not want those
people directly involved, initially, because I don't want the Fedora
Miro channel to have the same mouth feel as the RH Magazine's feed.  I
expect those people to drop material in to the Fedora feed
eventually..but I don't want to encourage it until the character of
the feed has been established as a community built resource.    At the
moment I'm really not sure Mark "gets it" yet.  The best thing he can
do is talk up or help with FWN as it exists now.

Oops, agreed.  I realized that right after I hit send.  Sorry Jef.

Clearly I missed the purpose of the Miro channel.  Seems this might be
a bit different than I was thinking.

Anything we like might be a better way of phrasing, but that's being pedantic...

What were you thinking?

My thoughts are that this channel is to be used to share videos about
Fedora - everything and anything about Fedora - provided it's a
reasonable quality. This includes tutorials (like you've been doing),
interviews, news bulletins (if anybody wanted to do them, why not?),
contributor/user stories etc etc

Best,

Jon

I was thinking pretty much what you just said.  I re-read what Jef
said as well, and I think those aren't mutually exclusive.  I'm just
thinking that if we put some cool features/news up as part of
FedoraTV, it would still apply.  I think the business news point is
valid if it pertains to Fedora specifically, and I think that's
appropriate.  I am still new to the hierarchy and how things get
approved in Fedora.  Please forgive my ignorance :)

Btw, I have Paul's keynote from FUDCon up on my fedora people page.
Its audio only, but would that be appropriate to share on FedoraTV
anyway?  http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/files/ (has paul's name in it).

Cheers,

Clint

/me wonders how that might work.  Is Miro capable of sharing audio as 
well?  If so, I don't see why not.  JonRob?

I've no idea, but I'll find out :) Lol, expect this list of Miro
related things to be fixed tomorrow morning...

Miro does appear to be capable of sending out just audio too. I'll put
up the audio of Paul's talk on Sunday perhaps? Seems like every other
day would be a good way to go, but that might be a little ambitious.

So as a point of discussion, some time ago (maybe 7 or 8 months) I 
proposed in a meeting that we create a professional produced news show 
surrounding Fedora.  If there is renewed interest then I propose we 
discuss this at the next marketing meeting and maybe we can bring in 
some Red Hat A/V folks into the mix as well.

What do you think?

I think you will have a very difficult time producing such a program
with available unencumbered software. So you would most likely not be
able to do this directly inside the exist project infrastructure.

I think Wordpress could be a good choice. What about Drupal? It could be
inside of existing project and is easy to implement.
