Howdy everyone,
We're getting close to F18 (*knocks on wood*) release and in the past
we've done feature profiles to cover some of the main highlighted
features from each release.
This usually is a two-part (at least) process, when doing one:
1: Do an interview with someone on a feature / someone(s) on a group
of related features. Interview can be by email, podcast, IRC chat,
anything that can basically be captured for anyone to read/hear/watch
back.
2: Taking some content from that interview, cobbling it into more of a
"story"/article format, which we can then publish to either/both of
Fedora Magazine / Red Hat press blog / your blog / etc.
A few examples interviews from the past:
BoxGrinder: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BoxGrinder_in_F15
Fedora on EC2: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_on_EC2
Desktop Enhancements in Fedora 12:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop_Enhancements_in_Fedora_12
I put together a suggested list of potential interviews/features on
the wiki - we can always combine some, think about adding other
features / other types of stories (ex: "How our QA team is totally
awesome and you should hug them for F18"), etc.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_feature_profiles
SOP and current FeatureList are here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_profiles_SOP
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList
Also: Having screenshots attached to an interview - and the final
story - is always awesome. Heck, having a repository of screenshots,
period, is really helpful just from a "help out the press" type of
way. Have we started working that for F18? (Or has anyone?)
Anyway..... ON TO THE SUGGESTIONS! Feedback welcome. Claim your fun
interview on this list. And add your name on the wiki. And ask
questions! I've done many of these, but realize most others haven't.
:) I've attached names for a few people who would be good interview
subjects - you should be able to find most of them in FAS in terms of
email address.
