Fedora Magazine

[Timothy Murphy]

The Fedora Newsletter used to contain short articles
dealing with a single topic, say WiFi,
with information and advice on that topic.
I found this very useful.

This ended several years ago,
and the newsletter became a record of meetings held,
decisions taken, etc.
I did not find this interesting or useful.

As far as I can see, the newsletter has now been replaced
by the Fedora Magazine <http://fedoramagazine.org/>;.
I hoped when I saw this that this meant a return
to the old newsletter model, with articles dealing with specific topics,
from a user-support point of view.
Unfortunately, I don't see anything like that in the magazine.

Is there any plan to offer something along those lines in the future?
I see there is an AskFedora section, but it appears to be empty,
apart from an introductory article which seems to be by Rahul Sundaram,
although that is not entirely clear.
Amything by Rahul would be very welcome,
since I've always found his comments extremely useful and to the point.
But I haven't seen any for some time.

+1

I think that would be a great thing, to have some group capture
discussions from the fedora-devel and fedora-user lists (at minimum) and
summarize things for the newsletter.

I'm pretty sure the Fedora Magazine folks accept submitted articles.
Why not write something up and send it in? Or encourage othes to do
the same.

Thanks.  I didn't write any articles specifically for Fedora magazine
although they might be aggregating content written before.  I would love to
contribute  but unfortunately I don't have as much time since I am back to
school.  Hopefully other people in the community can step up.

We are always accepting contributors to the Fedora Magazine site. I will include some
links on where people can go to get more information about the magazine [1] and where/how
to sign up to contribute.[2]

We are currently working on this, we want to get a quick tips section setup on the site
but last I checked we ran into some issues exporting info from the ask.fedoraproject.org
site for the best questions/answers. If you have some tips or something you would like to
contribute, we are always looking for more contributors :)

+1 Stephen we do and are always looking for more contributors as well, I sent out an email
to the general mailing list with links about the magazine and how to sign up to be an
author.
