Hello world

[Ryan Rix]

Hi group,

I am interested in contributing to the Fedora News Project. I am a
member of the KDE-SIG and may be primarily acting as a packager, so I
suppose those are my primary areas of interest, and if there is
opening for a KDE beat, I could take that on, probably. I am usually
in fairly close contact with most of the KDE-SIG's active members via
#fedora-kde IRC channel.

Locally I am involved in Phoenix Arizona's LUG, Phoenx LUG
(http://plug.phoenix.az.us) and the Arizona Business and Liberty
Experience (http://ableconf.com)

Hi Ryan,

There isn't an overall "content plan" for FWN at the time. Interested
parties suggest a beat and start producing it if there are no
objections.

As a KDE user, I'd personally be happy to see KDE coverage in FWN. Why
don't you whip up a beat and point it out to the list?

Check out the workflow here and let us know if you have questions.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/WorkFlow

BTW, another document relevant to KDE is the Desktop release notes.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop

The doc beats page says it is open, but it has been recently edited. If
interested in contributing, that could be reconciled on the docs list.

Welcome!

Hello Dave,

Sorry your mail kind of fell into an abyss there, not sure what happened. (Is 
this list available via GMane?) I'll take a look at editing the wiki and 
whipping up a beat tonight.

I am eventually planning getting into the Desktop docs (creating something 
akin to the Fedora Desktop Guide for Fedora-KDE) soon enough, but that's most 
definitely OT for this list ;)

Thanks for the help.

Sounds great to me! As Ryan suggests, it'd be great for you to whip up
an example KDE beat for a forthcoming FWN, and we'll include it in the
issue if there's no problems. Thanks a lot for volunteering!
