FedMag: Covering GUADEC 2014

[Jiri Eischmann]

Hi,
I'm going to attend GUADEC 2014 and because this time I'll be just an
attendee with no duties I've been thinking about doing some media
coverage for Fedora Magazine. GNOME is one of the most important
upstream projects for us and news from GUADEC might be interesting for
the readers.
I can write a set of articles (one each day) and bring some photos. I
would appreciate some proof reading since I'm not a native speaker.

Hi Jiri,

We can help with that :) Just let us know when you have the articles ready. Are you going
to submit them to the mailing list for review, or did you want an account on the site, and
you can put them in Draft/Needs review?

Thanks,

Chris Roberts

Happy to help with proof reading.

Generally happy to help editing/proofing for anybody given decent notice.

Putting them in the publishing system directly so that the proof reader
can find them there, review and publish them is probably the best
option.
I don't have an account there yet, can I create it myself?

Hi,
I've submitted a first article from GUADEC 2014. It's saved as a draft
in Wordpress. I'd like to ask for proof reading and publishing.

Thank you,
Jiri

Done, and done. Thanks much for your speedy coverage, I'm sure people
will find it interesting!

I've saved another article from GUADEC (day 2) as a draft. I'm again
asking for proof reading and publishing it.

Thank you!

Thanks again for this - I have proofed it, but found one bit I'm unclear on:

"The situation was very good early this year, but then they focused on
the income part and it became much better. Most of the expenses are on
employees and most of the income comes from the advisory board fees."

I *think* you mean "was not very good" but I don't want to assume.

Also -- maybe one more sentence on how the GNOME Foundation made the
financial situation better? Was that related to Karen leaving and not
having to pay an executive director, or...?

Once that's addressed, it's all good to go from my end. If you can
publish, please go ahead. If not, I can publish as soon as it's edited.

Thanks again!

Sorry,
I was finishing the article at 2am and my brain was already failing. I
tried to rewrite the unclear parts in the morning and published it.
I just uploaded the last article. Can you or anyone else review it and
publish?

Thank you!
Jiri

No apologies necessary! I just didn't want to assume I knew what you meant.

It looks like someone has done so. Thanks again for all the coverage!
You've set a good bar for coverage that we need to meet and exceed for
Flock!
