Hi Richard, Buddhika and everyone –
Thanks for pointing this out. This is a good idea. I might suggest as we broaden the use of the Vacation page that we add a column for which Fedora the person
in question is involved with.
If someone is an Ambassador, and on the Docs team, and a beat writer for example, we might want to note all of these, particularly if they have some responsibility
for each.
Richard and Buddhika: I so appreciate that you proactively found a backup beat writer for Ambassadors. It makes the Ambassador team look quite responsive and
organized – great job! It is an idea that other beat writers could also follow, perhaps.
I will update the ‘In the News’ beat and the ‘Security Advisories’, and we will plan to send 287 out tomorrow.
Rashadul, AdamW, Runa, Guillermo and Josh: what is your schedule like for updating your beats for tomorrow? Thanks!
Antonio: thanks for your _expression_ of interest. I will follow up with you off list for further discussion.

Subject: [Ambassadors] Vacation List/Short Break- Shadow Cabinet
Hi Pascal and Fedora Experts
Good work.
I would like to throw light on our "taking a Short Break - List" as i understand. I propose full usage for Ambassadors and editors too. Vacation List
We can also add a shadow responsibility alike shadow cabinet of ministers, a co-editor who can step in within 24 to 36 hours if timely update is not done.
For Ambassadors Beat for which I hold, Buddhika will be shadow editor, will be standing in if i am delayed/on vacation
Thanks and regards

Hi folks -
We are more than a month since we have had enough content for another issue of FWN, and so I thought I would post openly to the News, Ambassadors, and Marketing lists, asking for some dialogue around this, and seeking some new contributors, perhaps.
Fedora Weekly News is a very important vehicle for letting both the Fedora community and the external Linux community, know what the happenings are with the Fedora Project. FWN has been around for many years and is a trusted brand that the community looks
forward to each week.
Writing for FWN is definitely a time commitment, on a weekly basis, and so its understandable that FWN's volunteer beat writers sometimes have a hard time contributing on that regular a basis.
But, if we don't have writers for FWN, we don't have content to produce an issue, and the community loses the vibrant voice that they have relied on in the past.
Do you have suggestions for making FWN an easier time commitment? Should we consider moving FWN to a biweekly frequency for some beats that don't have enough content for a weekly beat?
So, I would like to hear from both current beat writers to FWN, and community members that perhaps would like to get involved as a writer for FWN. The bar is not high for participation. You basically need to have:
1) Continuing interest and passion in the Fedora Project, perhaps on some particular aspect or subproject that you'd like to write on
2) A bit of familiarity with Mediawiki tagging and conventions, and the Fedora Project wiki Style Guide
3) A Commitment to produce a beat on more or less weekly basis
Thanks for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from some of you and your ideas to make FWN a viable and vibrant media vehicle for the Fedora Project again.

I believe that our strength is in the community. I am also concerned to
see it all, we do have to admit it was difficult circumstances. That
way we know what we should do.
In my opinion, FWN should still be weekly, why: in a week there are
actually a lothappening in Fedora that we can say
in FWN. Adding one or two new categories Iguess it does not matter. I am
interested to participate in FWN. But what can I do,what I should know in
advance in order to be a good contributor?.
Thank you.
