Nice! I actually intended to interview you as well. :) But somehow you
slipped through my fingers!
I intended to post articles like the example I posted in the email
thread. Short and simple. I'll draft them first though, of course, and
if anyone has suggestions for how to improve them I'm more than happy
to take the edit advice. I'm new to this, so I have lots to learn.
This page
seems pretty helpful though to get things started!
I'm not posting these anywhere else but here. Fedora Community Blog
get's the exclusive! :)
I verified I'm able to log in to the blog and draft posts. I'll be on
vacation all next week, so if I don't get one or two of the first
interviews posted by tomorrow, I'll start adding them the following
week.
No worries about the delay; since I've joined the mailing list I noted
that you're quite a busy guy!
Keep up the great work! Talk to you again soon!
-Chris

Hi Chris!! So sorry on the delayed response on getting back to you on
all of these.
I just got through your interview with Brian and I have Jonathan and
Redon's interview on the queue now. So, uhhh, wow!!! These are awesome!!
Seriously! I don't know how I missed these! These are super insightful
interviews and I think you did a really awesome thing to capture these
at Flock. Plus you've got some catchy beats in there too. :)
So, to begin, yes! A post for each interview on the Community Blog would
be an awesome idea and I think it's definitely something we can sustain.
Have you been publishing announcements / posts for these on a personal
blog? If you have, you could pop a draft into the Community Blog and we
could use that as the base. Otherwise, the intro you used in the
description for each episode should be enough, I think.
I really want to help bring these greater exposure ASAP. I'll go ahead
and post some of them to social media right now. But yes, I definitely
want to help you share these with the Fedora community. You should have
authorship privileges in the Community Blog to draft an article - please
let me know if that is not the case.
Again, so sorry it took so long for you to get an answer here! This got
buried in my email last month... guess I really need to set up filters
sometime soon.
