Fedora 32 release notes are waiting for your contributions!
by Petr Bokoc 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi everyone! Today's F32 Beta Go/No-Go meeting earlier today resulted in a no-go status, but nevertheless, it's about time we started working on F32 release notes. As usual, we aim to cover notable Changes[0]. Ben Cotton has been tracking those in the relnotes repo's issues for us, which allows us to grab a list of everything that needs to be documented[1]. Some of you are already familiar with the process, so go ahead and grab some issues; branch f32 is waiting for you. For those of you who are new or need a refresher, here's how it works: 1. Pick one or more issues in the list linked above. 2. Open each issue you picked, and click the Take button on the right to claim it. (If you claim an issue but later find out you don't have time to write about it, remove yourself from the issue ASAP so others can see it's free and take it!) 3. Find some information about the issue. A lot of them have plenty of info in them already; if not, find out who's responsible for the change, and talk to them on IRC or via mail. Of course it's always better if you try to do research before you ask questions. Note that you might not always be able to reach the owner in a reasonable timeframe; in that case just do your best, I'll be reviewing PRs, so if we publish something wrong, it's on me. 4. Write a release note about the issue. If you're not sure how exactly a release note looks, check out some of the previous releases for inspiration. We don't want any long, overly technical texts, the release notes are meant to highlight changes, not to tell people how to use something. 5. Now the workflow diverges based on your permissions and technical skills: 5a. If you know how to use git and asciidoc, we'd appreciate if you wrote up the release note and sent a pull request[2] against the main repo, branch "f32". Your contributions should go into one of the files in "modules/release-notes/pages/", which one exactly depends on the contents of the change you're documenting. Use the "build.sh" and "preview.sh" scripts in the repository root to preview your changes locally; see the repository README for specific instructions. If you can't see the section where you added your contributions at all, make sure it's included in "modules/release-notes/nav.adoc". 5b. If the above sounds like gibberish to you, it's fine: just add a comment with your text into the issue, and ping me on IRC/Telegram or through e-mail; I'll mark it up for you and make sure your contribution appears in the final document. If anyone has any questions, go ahead and ask either here on the list or on IRC/Telegram, I'm happy to help. The current schedule[3] gives us until April 14 (see line 9), after that we'll be handing the release notes to the localization team. This gives us a month, which should be enough to cover the 55 open issues. Happy writing!

Directing old docs to new docs
by Ben Cotton 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi Docs team, I had a chat this morning with Brian Proffitt (cc'ed), community wizard and all-around great guy at Red Hat. One thing we discussed is the apparent lack of release notes beyond F26. I say "apparent" because I know they're produced, and I know how to find them, but if you just search "Fedora release notes", you end up in the old Publican-based site. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'd like to bring it up again: how can we easily direct people from the old docs to the new? I don't think we want to remove them, because it's good for historical reference to have them around, but it would be nice if we could easily put a banner or something across the top saying "these are historical, click here for the latest docs". I know Publican generated the whole of the site, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to go shoehorn that in. Another approach would be to run all of the old content through pandoc and rebuild in the new system. That sounds terrible. To a large degree, this is an SEO problem, not a docs problem, but "solving" it as a docs problem seems a lot easier. What do y'all think? One thing I'm going to do is add a link to the top of the ChangeSet wiki pages post-release that links to the Release Notes. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis
