Hey All,
I think Fedora Magazine has done an amazing job both attractings readers and writers. As part of the push to reach more technical audiences around things like Fedora Loves Python, it would be interesting see if we have any ideas how we could take our articles to the next level too.
I think we could theoretically begin to have articles at different levels of complexity for all types of content. For example, the comments on reddit about our recent article show on powertop show there is a desire for some readers to see greater technical detail. How can we attract writers who will want to produce that kind of content too? This way our articles can help our readers grow.
regards,
bex
On the vein of Fedora Loves Python, I've been mulling over the idea of a series or meta series on Programming or Developing with different languages. There's nothing really Fedora-specific about that though, so I'm not sure what spin to pit on it that makes it different from other programming guides out there.

As far as I know there is no reason to don't write to technical articles. Was there an article rejected for that reason?

If the content varies from other guides out there, then it should be written. I think using Fedora in your examples should be enough to justify inclusion in our publications. So to turn the question around, what makes your ideas different?
If we want to draw users and contributors who aren't distro/OS shopping we need to show that what they do is both able to be done in Fedora and in some cases works better than what they may be doing today.
That said, I don't think we are adding value by duplicating something already done better elsewhere, especially if the net change is roughly 's/apt/dnf/'. I realize you are deliberately trying to avoid this and this is fantastic.

Fedora has very good scientific software, some of it is highly specific and requires very technical explanations. What about cover the programs from the Astronomy & Scientific spins, let's say an article per programme?
Just an idea Sylvia
