New member introduction

19 Jun '19

Hi everyone, I would like to briefly introduce myself as a potential contributor to Fedora Magazine, and I hope this is the right way of doing so. I'm a master of Journalism and Communication and an experienced researcher in media. I'm skilled in statistics and data analysis, writing and editing. I have a pending publication in the Journal of Chinese Media Studies and focus mainly on computer-mediated communication. I am bilingual but have an adequate command of English language in order to be able to convey useful knowledge to your audience. My interests include programming (R, JavaScript, PHP, SQL), data science, photography, do-it-yourself culture, and retro computing. I've been a Linux user for about 7 years and a full-time user for about 4 (mostly Debian). I see myself as an advanced user and have a working knowledge of software from many different categories; I'd had pleasure (and displeasure) of using the OS for many of my personal mini projects. I'm looking forward to writing with you, everyone, and thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Sergey PS: I'm 26 and currently residing in China

Move our guides do docs.fp.o?
by Adam Samalik 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

What if we moved our guides to docs.fp.o? I wanted to document the way we could use the Taiga board, but I'm not sure where to put it. So far, I've found: * Fedora Magazine (wiki) - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine * Writing a new pitch (Wordpress) - https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-a-new-pitch/ * Writing an article (Wordpress) - https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/ * Writing an article (wiki) - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine/Howtopost * Creating a featured image (Wordpress) - https://fedoramagazine.org/creating-a-featured-image-for-a-fedora-magazine-… * Editorial meetings (wiki) - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine/Editorial_meetings Moving to the docs would give us one place with a menu on the left for easier navigation. And that could be potentially helpful to any new contributors. If we want to do this, I volunteer to set it up and move everything there. We'd need to have a repository with a structure similar to the docs template [1], which would produce something similar to the CommOps docs [2]. What do people think?

[Pitch] "Fedora under the hood" series
by Ankur Sinha 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hello, I was wondering if any one was interested in joining me to writing a series of "Fedora: under the hood" posts (if the editorial team permits, of course) with the aim being to: - show that Fedora is a FOSS community with the OS being our mode of choice to work towards the community mission. - discuss the work that goes into the creation of each release: including programme management, design, rebuilds, QA, websites, announcements---all of it. The hope is that by speaking actively about why, who, and how we do things, we improve the general understanding of how we tick. In addition, that improved understanding will hopefully encourage more "users" (to use the "vendor <-> user" terminology explained later) to join the community and contribute to FOSS---in whatever way they choose. Finally, it will also make people aware of the resources that the community has or does not have access too, and why some things are done and others aren't. Rationale: Based on my personal experiences, so this is anecdotal evidence, it seems that most people outside the community have little or no understanding of how the Fedora community does things. They seem to apply the "vendor <-> user" development model to Fedora too: someone, somewhere, for some reason, is doing all of this for "users" instead of the "community" paradigm: where there isn't a clear distinction between "developers" and users---all contributors are also users, and we're all part of the community and contribute in whatever ways we can often in our free time. Mostly, the magazine includes posts on how to use software: "to do things with Fedora". The new website also says "Make the most of using Fedora" next the Fedora magazine bit. So, users get to learn about all using the tools and the software, and not much about why, who, how, all of this software (and the accompanying information) is developed/integrated/provided to them. PS: Of course, the primary aspect of the "vendor <-> user" paradigm is that the user pays in exchange for the service. This enables the "vendor" to maintain the resources required to continue providing the service and further improve it. How users "pay" to use Fedora if we also follow this model does not seem to come up often somehow. Thoughts? -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Let's use a Taiga board!
by Adam Samalik 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

I'd like to propose we use a Taiga kanban board to track the state of our articles and the publishing schedule. Having a board will have multiple benefits, including: - Quick overview of the current state and the publishing schedule - Writing comments to the articles — things to remember when editing, etc. - Ability to move some of our activities from the meeting to the board, such as +1's on the pitches, assigning edits and images, or even scheduling in some cases — that could give us more time in the meeting for other discussions that need to happen real-time - A board will be also more intuitive and accessible to newcomers What do you think? Do we wanna give this a try? To give people a better idea I've created an example board [1] in the teams.fp.o Taiga. Cheers!

Marking out of date Magazine articles?
by Ben Cotton 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

Hi folks, There's a thread on Discussion[1] about Magazine articles that are out of date (e.g. due to orphaned packages). I know it can't really be done automatically, but do we have a process for marking outdated articles in a way that's obvious to readers? If not, what might that look like?
