[Ambassadors] Calling for Fedora Insight

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Dear Fedora Ambassadors!

The Insight team is looking for help, aid, we would like to grab more
people for the development of the project called Fedora Insight[1].
But what is that Insight? Those who don't know this project here is an
short description:

Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to
publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora
marketing materials in various formats. Insight makes it easy for
users, developers, and journalists -- people who aren't yet a part of
the Fedora contributor community -- to keep up with recent highlights
without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

We believe you can help us in Insight development. Currently we are
looking for the following people:

1. Theme creator

Knows the combination of HTML, CSS and a little bit of PHP. To this
you need only some Drupal theme docs [2][3] and you could successfully
contribute, to be available an Drupal 7 theme for Insight. If you are
interested, you'll find our wiki [3] how can you make contact with us,
and where you could find the Drupal theme (sample) files.

2. PHP (+Drupal) developer

If you know PHP, but would like to learn Drupal either, then you're
our perfect candidate.
Currently we have an actively maintained FAS auth module [4] for
Drupal 6, what we would like to update to Drupal 7. Also we could
provide an documentation [5] for this, what is available on
drupal.org. We use the Feature module, what makes easy the development
flow. More about this - check at [6] here.


3. Testers, Use case testers

It's important, that we must test it out every piece of code, an we do
it as we could. Sadly, sometimes some bugs are appearing when it's
unwanted, or it's stays hidden, or we haven't met. Therefore we
appreciate anybody who could help to discover and report bugs. Tester
can be anybody from the community, no need any special knowledge. We
need also people who help to test out the mentioned FAS auth and
Drupal 7 Mediawiki modules, the calendar module, and the site itself.
All this can be done on our testing site [7]. But here
pre-registration is required, because the FAS module has been
temporarily disabled.

To be able help our work, please send an mail to our mailing list [8],
with an short introduction that includes FAS, and the job that would
like to help us. After this you'll receive the necessary access
rights, if the work needs that. (eg. like you would like to make an
theme).

Also, you as a future important contributor of the project, we
awaiting you - and everyone else online at Fudcon Blacksburg 2012,
where we'll put great emphasis to the calendar module [9], and we ask
you to share any kind of idea, critics around it, or just contact with
us through the IRC - at fedora-mktg channel. We gladly help your first
steps.
