Self-introduction: Bara Ančincová
by Barbora Ančincová 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear All, My name is Bara Ančincová and I'm from Czech republic. I've started using Linux five years ago (Ubuntu), now I run Fedora on my work and home laptop. And well, this is my way how to thank the Fedora community for really nice experience I have with this distribution. Regarding computer skills, I'm familiar with basic administration of Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ubuntu. In addition, I use git, DockBook, and Publican on a daily basis at work. I had some introduction to programming using bash and Python. I work as a technical writer in Red Hat and mainly contribute to the SELinux guide and to the Installation guide. So I could start helping with these two :) The only thing is, that at this time, I'm a little bit busy with writing my master thesis, so I will be able to dedicate more time to Fedora when I finish it (hopefully in April/May). Look forward to working with you guys :) Cheers, Bara

by Simon Clark 23 Feb '14

Hello All, As one of the new members of the docs project, I took on the unversioned docdirs task (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs) to get me started. I have now been through all the guides in the guides table on the wiki and submitted patches where changes were needed. I suggest that the task can now be considered complete. Thank you to everyone that provided feedback and encouragement. The full list of my findings is below. I sent patches to this list until someone pointed out that it was better to use Bugzilla.

Introduction
by cjmannino 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hello All, My name is Carl Mannino, I been using opensource for many years, mostly debian. I am on the debian publicity team, and help with a monthly news-letter about issues, news, events, etc that comes out every month. Since I am not a computer programmer, although like to contribute, helping with documentation is a nice way for me to contribute. In my job I work as a psychologist with disabled adults, which does take considerable amount of my time. I look forward to contributing to Fedora, and the documentation in any capacity. Thank you !

Fedora Docs OT guidelines, please!
by Pete Travis 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hey Tom, Can you provide some general legal-type guidelines on mentioning not-Fedora topics in Fedora Docs? I've learned that we shouldn't directly guide users to third party repos, but there's a lot of room for potential conflict. Lately, I've been woorking on a multiboot guide and wondering what would be considered permissible. For example, I'd like to explain how to disable Windows' "fast reboot" feature to allow Fedora users to mount an NTFS volume safely. I'd also like to explain how to add Windows or some other OS to GRUB manually, or to a system's firmware boot options with `uefibootmgr`. There's varying degrees of foreignness there, and the list certainly isn't exhaustive - just some token examples. It would be good to have some general guidelines to follow going forward. I would like to find a home for them in the Documentation Guide. -- -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize(a)fedoraproject.org
