Fifteen-year anniversary
by Link Dupont
Hello,
This November will be the fifteenth anniversary of the Fedora project. Would it
be appropriate to mark this event with an article on the magazine, or is that
more community blog content? I thought it might be fun to provide people with a
Fedora Core 1 libvirt image that they could boot up and see what Fedora was like
in the beginning. Thoughts?

Hello!
I do Marketing & PR at The Document Foundation, the non-profit entity
behind LibreOffice. And before this, I spent almost 20 years writing for
Linux magazines, such as Linux Format and Linux Voice:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Voice
I'm a huge supporter of FOSS, Linux and digital rights, and I'm lucky
that my day job involves helping to spread the word about LibreOffice
and grow our community :-)
I'd like to write an article for Fedora Magazine about how Fedora users
can get involved with LibreOffice, in a few areas -- development,
design, marketing and so forth.
What do you think? Thanks!

Blocked by Inkscape bug
by Paul Frields
I'm constantly hitting crashes in Inkscape on F28, and as a result I
haven't been able to complete an image for the F26 EOL article. The article
is done, though, and all it needs is that image. Ryan, would you be able to
create one?
Here's an example of the issue I'm getting, every time I try to work with
