Problem solved
by pmkellly@frontier.com
I asked a question here, a few days back, to get recommendations on
screencasters. Unfortunately nothing worked for me. I ask at Ask Fedora
and got the explanation of the problem root and a solution. The link
below is to the Ask Fedora thread in case anyone here is in need of a
screen caster that does both audio and video and works well with F31 and
Wayland.

Have a Great Day!

Article idea - Fedora's gaggle of desktops
by Troy Dawson
While researching for my memory footprint article, I uncovered that
there are around 40 desktops and 6 working desktop managers.
I would like to do an article that lists them, along with a few facts
about them (X11 or wayland, how to install, url, etc..).
This would not be a review of desktops, just a listing.

Editorial guidelines
by Paul Frields
HI all,
Here are some editorial guidelines we've previously had around the
Magazine. We've added some new editors recently, and I don't think
these have been clearly communicated elsewhere.
It's not my place to say these are "forever rules." We can decide to
change them. But we need to agree on and respect a "voice" for the
Magazine, so we don't confuse or put off readers with severe tonal
shifts from article to article. Let's see whether we agree on these.
If so, they can be included on docs.fp.o.
1. Articles in the Magazine generally don't refer to the Magazine
staff or the Fedora Project ("we", "us," "our"). Neither authors nor
the Magazine staff speak for all of the Fedora Project contributors.
The Magazine is also not an amplifier for a specific team.
RULE: Editors should rewrite sentences to eliminate "we," "us," and
"our," or work with the author to do so.
EXCEPTIONS: It's OK to use "we" if the specific usage is relating
something about the Magazine, however -- like soliciting contribution,
for example. In those cases we're speaking as a group.
(Are there other reasonable exceptions?)
2. Articles in the Magazine generally don't refer to their author
("I", "me," "my"). The Magazine doesn't publish op-ed pieces[1] or
personal blogs; it publishes factual help and news articles. The
Magazine does not rely on personal statements from authors; it's the
editors' job to check accuracy, so readers can rely on articles.
RULE: Editors should rewrite sentences to eliminate "I," "me," and
"my," or work with the author to do so.
EXCEPTIONS: It's OK to use "I" if the article is a personal
announcement, such as from the FPL.
(Are there other reasonable exceptions?)

Replies
by Paul Frields
Hi all, this happened on quite a few threads I responded to recently
so I thought I'd send a reminder. When someone responds to you on the
list, unless there's a good reason to go private, please reply-all (or
reply-to-list if your client has that option). That way discussions
stay public and moving transparently. When only one person gets a
response, if they get busy and there's a need to respond, it can cause
unwanted delays and confusion. Again, just a tip for people who are
new. Welcome and have fun!

Introducing Myself
by Carmine Zaccagnino
Hi everyone,
My name is Carmine Zaccagnino. I'm very excited about Linux in general and have been using Fedora since version 25 mostly for software development purposes.
I've been writing mostly for my blog and on dev.to and Medium for a few years, but I have published some stuff elsewhere (including a book on Flutter).
I would love to write something for the Fedora Magazine at some point so it would be nice to get access to the writing platform and board.
Thank you,
Carmine Zaccagnino
