On to the idea itself: Interview various Fedora users about what they look forward to in F24 and why. We could do Fedora server, Fedora workstation all together in a single article. The purpose of this article would be to excite folks about Fedora and make them talk about Fedora. More details available on Fedora Magazine [1]. What are your thoughts? [1] - https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=12557&action=editI'm personally +1 to this idea for the Magazine to help build some hype for the upcoming release. If we could time this for the week of the beta announcement, I think this article could have a very high impact right around that time period. Maybe even the week before the beta drops to get the suspense rolling.I love the idea too. The only thing I might suggest is holding on to this until after Beta (during which time anyone can still download it), but building excitement for GA.
That sounds like the best idea to me. So if we had this lined up and ready in advance for post-beta announcement, I think we could have the greatest impact then too. Let's aim for that!
I've thought about the idea a bit since I think we discussed this in IRC last week. I feel like it would be better to try doing this in a single article versus splitting it up to each edition. I think it would be cool to do an article for each edition, but at the same time, I feel like that could create a lot of duplicate work and might be a delay in getting the article out on time. So I think it would be best to aim for fitting all of the different interviews, quotes, and news into a single article.Ha, spoken like a grizzled editor, Justin! :-) I could go either way, but I think your rationale here makes a lot of sense.
Okay, so let's shoot for a single, comprehensive article, and if we have the time and resources to split them into three, we can do that as a stretch goal for this.
Huiren, if you have any questions about getting started or writing the article, let us know. :) Thanks!
The format for this could take on the form of Jiri's article a while ago with email clients. I think the way his article looked and was organized is very effective. https://fedoramagazine.org/email-clients-fedora/ I say you could start putting this draft together now and aim to have it ready the weekend before the week of the beta announcement, just so we have plenty of time to review the content and make sure it all checks out.I'm huge +1 and thanks to both of you for great input.
