========================================================================
Quick Summary
========================================================================
1) Profile / Interviews: Yeah, let's reboot this!
2) Better for Magazine, not CommBlog
3) Questions: Good, add Fedora usage questions too (user experience)
4) Plan: Add new questions, begin polling contributors for new articles?

I think this is a good discussion to have - Ryan and I talked earlier 
this month about rebooting the series as well.

Firstly, I mentioned a while ago somewhere that I wasn't sure if this 
would be most appropriate for the Magazine or maybe the Community Blog 
(being like a community hub). However, I personally came to the 
conclusion that I think these articles targeted towards interviewing 
Fedora contributors isn't exclusively in the interest of the contributor 
community, and I think even regular users who aren't involved as 
contributors will enjoy a series about seeing how some Fedora "regulars" 
use the distro, and maybe learn a few tips and tricks about customizing 
their environment or getting involved with the Project. So, yes, I think 
Magazine is most appropriate for these!

Secondly, I definitely think popping some drafts up there is a good 
idea. I'm all for continuing this under the "How do you Fedora?" 
namesake since we still have that as a category in the Magazine. In 
terms of the proposed questions, I like them, but I also think it's a 
good idea to include some targeted questions towards how contributors 
use Fedora too - even before I was involved, I remember reading these 
articles and finding it interesting how the "experts" were using Fedora. 
I think adding some of those questions into the mix of Project-focused 
questions is a good idea.

Any other thoughts on this?
