[magazine] Correct article based on comments
by Martin Sehnoutka 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi, someone pointed out in the comments for the Wireshark article, that `usermod` command is missing a LOGIN argument. Is there a way I can fix it now or is the article immutable after release?

[magazine] New pitch: Nautilus Templates
by Alessio Ciregia 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Following the previous article about Nautilus and shell script, what about a brief article about Nautilus Templates? I've found this feature useful just today. There is a Templates folder under the home dir: if you place files there (txt, odt, html, whatever) in the contextual menu that appears with the right click on a directory you will have a submenu called, exactly, Templates. It is something like "create empty file" in the current directory. Well, the file could be not empty, but as the word says: a template. Ciao A.

Hello! I'm looking to get more involved in open source, spreading the good word, and am looking to contribute to the Fedora magazine (if you'll have me!). I'm a long time Fedora user and fan. I've been enjoying reading the magazine, I figure it's time to see what I can contribute back. Thanks for all your continued hard work! Cheers, -Andrew

[magazine] article idea: adapt cloud-init in ovirt blog post for Fedora Magazine?
by Matthew Miller 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Ovirt is an open-source alternative to the VMWare server cluster management stack. In recent releases, it supports cloud-init natively, making Fedora Cloud Base Image (or Fedora Atomic Host) ideal guest images to run. Would someone like to adapt this blog post http://blog.evilissimo.net/cloudinit-integration-in-ovirt into something Fedora-focused for Fedora Magazine? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

[magazine] New pitch - How to use Java and other plugins in Firefox
by Martin Stransky 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Hi, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1428733 inspired me to write a short article how users can deal with NPAPI plugin ban in Firefox at Fedora. The pitch is here: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=16892&action=edit From the content perspective is done, it may need some polishing according to the wordpress hint. Paul, can you please try to fix that? Would be great to have it released soon. I'd also use some neutral FF banner which may be reused for more Firefox related posts (I'm going to write an article about theme tuning when patches hit Fedora package). Please let me know if I need to do anything else with that pitch. Thanks, ma.

[magazine] Article Idea: Notepad++ on Fedora
by Matthew Miller 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Langdon points out to me that Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ is one of the most popular text editors for developers: https://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017/#technology-most-popular-dev… It's completely open-source, but Windows-only (written specifically to the Windows API rather than an abstraction toolkit). I think an article about how to easily and transparently run it under Wine might be popular. (We might also have articles for Visual Studio Code and Atom, which are open source but based around Electron, which isn't in Fedora.) Note: I'm not really qualified to write this article. Just suggesting it. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
