Message-ID: <1650356.hKRglzVcWx@gabri>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hello,
I've created a draft explaining fedora.next to be includde in a trifold for
mktg use.
Can someone, take a look to the attached text and rectify what
seems wrong/incomplete?
I'll study a layout afterwards, when the text will be decided.

FEDORA PROJECT BASES
-Mission: lead the advancement of free and open source software and content
as a collaborative community:
- always striving to lead, not follow;
- consistently seeking to create, improve, and spread free/libre code and
content;
- succeeding through shared action on the part of many people throughout
our community.
FOUR FUNDATIONS
“Freedom, Friends, Features, First”
The four foundations are the core values of the Fedora community.
HOW MISSION AND FOUR FOUNDATIONS JOIN FEDORA.NEXT
- give a positive voice for people with diverse requirements;
- invite contributions even when they're not perfect, allowing software
into Fedora even with rough edges, and improving from there;
- focusing more on packages where it really matters that they’re packaged
well, making them as useful as possible to people;
- moving fast while still keeping a handle on the direction we’re going,
balancing innovation with change management;
- making easier to have projects that work on Fedora without necessarily
being in the distribution proper.
WHAT IS FEDORA.NEXT
"Fedora.Next" is the word which sets the next plannings of the Fedora
project. This consists in shipping "bricks" for general purposes, without
gluing together. People can build other things and/or re-assemble the ones
shipped into something else, although it should be clear, if done, that it's
no longer the official set.
People can share creations and maybe even make new sets.
This is performed by the working groups that also manage many of the
technical decisions, making them set up for growth.
FEDORA.NEXT WORKING GROUPS
- Base:
This is the common base on which the Fedora OS products will be built.
Language stacks and environments will be able to assume that this is
available and consistent across all of Fedora, and that change will be
carefully managed.
The Fedora.next proposal suggests that this should exist, but leaves open
exactly what it will look like. This group will create a reference document
that answers that question, and work on the practical infrastructure for
building this as a subset of Fedora.
- Environment & Software Stacks
These are also policies development for software. New guidelines for how
software may be included under the Fedora umbrella without necessarily
conforming.
Fedora.Next allows disruptive innovation without disrupting what works in
Fedora now. At first, work will be concerned with more conservative
approaches like the first generation Software Collections (which may fit in
with only minor exceptions to the current packaging guidelines), this is
also the place to explore and solve issues like container composition and
updates.
- Product Working Groups
The first responsibility of each working group will be to establish a
governance charter.Then, the first required deliverable for each group will
be a Product Requirements Document. This will include a statement of target
audience and the role the product is intended to fill in the Fedora
ecosystem. This document will be presented to the Board for ratification.The
second deliverable should be a list of necessary changes from existing
Fedora procedures needed to release the product. This should be ordered to
show what things depend on other changes and at which point the changes will
mean that we can no longer produce the current type of Fedora. This will
allow us to identify the resources needed by what teams in order to
implement the plan and at what point we may need to have a longer than
normal release cycle to do tooling work. The last deliverable is to actually
start producing the Fedora Products listed below.
WORKING GROUPS RECAP
- Base Design Working Group
- Environments & Software Stacks Working Group
- Product Working Groups
- Fedora Workstation (aims: create a reliable, user-friendly and powerful
operating system for laptops and PC hardware. The system will primarily be
aimed at providing a platform for development of server side and client
applications that is attractive to a range of developers - from hobbyists
and students to developers working in corporate environments);
- Fedora Server (aims: common base platform with 'featured application
stacks' built on top of it. It commits to produce, test, and distribute
these application stacks);
- Fedora Cloud (aims: responsible for initial and ongoing development of
the Product Requirements Document, and for coordinating production of the
Fedora Cloud operating system);
FUTURE IN FEDORA.NEXT
Automation everywhere:
- automated testing;
- agile release engineering;
- improving communications across platforms and areas;
- making available in a easier way the documentation simplifying its
access;

Hello,
I'm a 17 year old student looking forward to contribute to the Fedora
magazine.
A brief introduction of myself -
I'm a high school student from India. Though I've been using Linux for
just two years, I think I've gained considerable knowledge on Linux
and Fedora. I've used Debian and Fedora for a year each and also
tested various other distros like Ubuntu, Kali, DSL, Open Suse and
SuperX OS (which is a distro created by some of my acquaintances). I'm
greatly inspired by Open Source Softwares, the FSF and GNU/linux based
OS. Fedora is my favorite distro, I really like the combination of
simplicity/cutting edge system it provides in a beautiful and
productive environment! After coming to know about the Fedora project
in detail, I am, now deeply interested to contribute and have decided
that the magazine is a good way to start!
I therefore, request your approval and guidance to be a contributor to
the Fedora magazine.
Thank You.

Subject: Do we have a style guide for Fedora Magazine? Should we?
Message-ID: <53DBE6F6.20405@xxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi all,
Just wondering if we should consider a brief style guide for Fedora
magazine?
One item to cover on this would definitely be how to capitalize the
titles of our posts. Having this consistent is always a good thing.
For the capitialization of posts, my vote is for sentence case. This
tends to be the most popular currently in online publications [1], [2].
and in my honest opinion, it is not as harsh and shouty as the
alternative title case. Title case is also a lot harder to get
consistent, as many people have different ideas of what to capitalise.
For example, the sentence case is simple, capitalize the first word, and
any proper nouns:
Fedora 21 will feature "Solarized" color schemes in both the Terminal
and Gedit
and the title case (depending on who is writing it) could be:
Fedora 21 will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit
or
Fedora 21 Will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal
and Gedit

I think a brief style guide is a good idea. We could include it on an
expanded "write for us" page
(http://fedoramagazine.org/submit-an-idea-or-tip/) that includes a few
editorial guidelines (what kind of articles are best for Fedora Magazine,
who is the audience, who are the people to contact if you have questions,
etc.). Here's an example:
http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/About-Us/Write-for-Us
Sentence case for titles is probably the easiest way to go. I think it also
looks better in a tweet if readers click the article tweet button.

let

This list from the games spin has screenshots if you want to browse

Some interesting ones I just discovered was "those funny fungaloids"
and "jweled"
I did try to start a series about a month ago called "Friday fun" on
the magazine, but ended up only posting one post in the series.
Ah! I'll try to post once a week under "Friday fun" then. It gives me a
few days to try each game out.

Hi Everyone,
I am sending out an update since were getting 503 errors here and there and
also since we are still getting the you are typing to fast error due to the
load balancer. I am going to reapply that patch that got lost when the theme
changed, clean up the database, and fix the rss feed button issue. After
this change is applied, the instance has to be restarted for the changes to
take affect. I also want to get this applied before Flock since we
anticipate more traffic to the site. The site will be down no more than 10
minutes and will brought down in the early am (2-3 am)
Thanks,
Chris Roberts
Why: Clean up db, fix 503 errors and typing to fast, correct rss feed
button, and update jetpack (requires a restart)
When: 2-3 AM EST Sunday 8-3-14
Who is affected: Everyone
ETA on Downtime : 10-15 Minutes (Full backup of site incase something goes
wrong)
