Hi Rashadul -- Responses below. Thanks for asking these questions -- they will probably inform others on the list as well! ________________________________________ From: news-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [news-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rashadul Islam [irashadul@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 5:03 PM To: Fedora-news-list Subject: About FWN Beats and Informations Dear Editors: Here are few things: 1) Need update the following wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/LatestIssue PC: Yes, we are still putting together the 229 issue. Once the new issue gets sent out, this gets updated to point to the new issue just before. 2) Just out of curiosity: Beat Writers Opportunity means what for the following Beats though some of them have contributor writer: PC: these are basically beats that someone worked on in the past but do not have current writers, so this is some areas that an interested new writer could possibly pick up. The Virtualization beat will probably be picked back up by Dale sometime in the near future (as he has indicated), and he has done such an excellent job with that beat, so I've left that with his name on it. FWN/Beats/Developments Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/AdvisoryBoard Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/Documentation Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/Infrastructure Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/Comics Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/DailyPackage Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/SecurityWeek Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/OLPC Beat writer opportunity FWN/Beats/AskFedora Beat writer opportunity 3) On wiki page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats content 1.3 mentioned: Contribute If you are interested in contributing to Fedora Weekly News see the Join page. 1. Read the information sources for your beat. Usually, this will be a team's mailing list archives and meeting logs. 2. Decide what are the 1-5 important things that have happened in your beat's area of focus during the past week that everyone in the Fedora community should know. 3. Write up a summary of those important things in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats/the-name-of-your-beat (look at the table above for a list of current beats). Looking at the pages for other beats should give you an idea of formatting, writing style, length, and how to link in references. 4. Edit the table in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats so that the entry for the section you just wrote reads "COMPLETE" instead of "incomplete." 5. Email the fedora-news-list (http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-news-list) and let us all know you're done. If you have any questions, ask on the fedora-news-list. >> I doubt about the the point 5. It needs some care to modify the landing page of the news PC: Thanks for pointing this out. The link indeed needs to point to the new lists.fedoraproject.org list in place of the Red Hat one. I'll make that change tonight. Please take necessary steps if there need any update. PC: Thanks and best -- Pascal Thanking you, Rashadul Islam <mailto:irashadul@xxxxxxxxx>Fingerprint=CFB7 CAEC 157A 308A F9CE CE00 3620 8084 5557 BFAC _______________________________________________ news mailing list news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/news
