Insight and Fedora Weekly News
by Ruth Suehle 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

A group of interested people gathered today to discuss breathing some new life into Fedora Weekly News (minutes below). What we concluded was that we'd actually like to breathe some life into Insight and for FWN to become an arm of that. To expound, here's the proposal: - suehle, jbrooks, and iambryan have volunteered as editors - We'd like to expand Insight to be more blog, web-magazine-style with: - Short, informative content like you might think of FWN for - Longer form stories, interviews, and articles - The technical content that Fedora used to create to some extent for Red Hat Magazine (which is in high demand but no longer exists) - Cultivated content from Planet - The content that Insight was already meant for, like Board meeting minutes or announcements - Fedora Weekly News would then become the weekly email newsletter of highlights from what had been published on Insight that week. - We'd like to see at least two writers/cultivators-of-content per beat What we're looking for now is for someone to shout, "good idea!", "bad idea!", or "I was already halfway through with something like that!" before we continue down the path. "I'd like to help with a beat!" is also a good answer. :-) Thanks!

I'm a huge fan of WordPress, so no objection here. I just wouldn't want to throw away any significant effort that has been put into Drupal features since I know how much work that is. Ruth

To get more announce on the announce mailing list?
by Kévin Raymond 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi there, [Should I used the marketing mailing list instead?] Actually we have got really few announce on the announce mailing list. This list is used to send some important information to our users. The last announce is the Alpha release. Which was centuries ago. Couldn't we come up with a general announce explaining the F18 release slip? I am sure that many users have no idea why the F18 won't be release this month. On an other side, couldn't we get more announce on that list? For example, voting period? Or some other Fedora community important facts... (Yeah, marketing should have more ideas...). I know that announce has to be a low traffic mailing list, just few ideas spotted there. Also, please note that we changed the start.fedoraproject.org webpage, and it still have an old announce. Should we remove the one older than a month? -- Kévin Raymond (Shaiton)
