I know there's a lot of Redhat in it. I was thinking of the slide set as
a starting point; Just the core idea really. I guess one of my
suggestions for the rewrite should have been condensing the Redhat stuff
to be a short introduction to where we came from. Which should include a
little bit about what Redhat was trying to do from when it started.
(major condensation) Then update the Fedora stuff from when Redhat
started it. Then include more about how Fedora evolved to it's current
state. Including some of the debates, hard decisions, Innovations, and
triumphs.
I said I wasn't qualified to write this article because I am not one of
those "source code" people. Also, I don't know the source code people.
If I just write it, I am afraid it would turn out to be more fantasy
than fact. However, if there is any indication that such an article
would get published and no one who knows more about the topic
volunteers. I will go ahead and make a try at the research to see if I
can gather the sources necessary to start a draft. So... Should I post a
proposal or just...
Have a Great Day!

I agree history is interesting and important. However, this doesn't
seem very Fedora specific, and we try to concentrate on that for the
Magazine. I would encourage more topics that are practically useful
for our readers.

I was thinking of things that would make good articles and remembered an
presentation I had found on line a while back. The link is below. I
think a remake of this would be well received. The following are
suggestions for the update:
Less focus on politics
Updated to current state
An article not a slide set
I think folks like to know about the history of things they are involved
with.
I'm not qualified to write this; so I haven't posted it as an article
proposal.
Have a Great Day!
