[magazine] Dropping the in subject
by Paul W. Frields 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Can we drop this tag on all list emails? All clients offer ways to filter email from lists. In some readers, this tag makes it harder to read the actual subject line to tell what the message is about. IIRC common Fedora netiquette is to not use this tag. By the way, you can use the header List-Id to filter easily. You can use the term "list:magazine@lists.fedoraproject.org" in Gmail's filters as well. Most other web based email UIs have similar functions. -- Paul W.

[magazine] Calling all writers! OpenWeather GNOME Extension
by Justin W. Flory 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hello everyone, In today's Magazine meeting, we wanted to help share writing opportunities for anyone looking for a chance to write their first or another article for the Magazine. In case you weren't already aware, there are starter pitches on the Magazine for hot, trending topics you can write about: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=starter-pitches&po… Another of these idea we are looking for writers on in is an article on the OpenWeather GNOME Shell Extension. This add-on is a simple GNOME extension that makes it easy to get the weather from a location you set. You can find the add-on and the description in the Magazine at the links below: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/750/openweather/ https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=13733&preview=1&_ppp=99a2030117 If you're interested in writing this, please drop a reply here on the list that you're interested. We'll move the article from starter pitches to drafts and assign you editing rights so you can get started. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here as well. Thanks everyone! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[magazine] Stats for Magazine are great!
by Paul W. Frields 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Last week's hits were the highest weekly total we've had in over six months -- and maybe ever -- other than a release week: over 61K. And if we can pull off a few more great posts by Monday, we'll beat non-release *months* too! I think this shows that more articles are good, especially those that involve high frequency search hits from users. Atom and Raspberry Pi especially stood out with high numbers of views. I would encourage all writers, rather than writing about random topics you think might be interesting, first look at writing toward some of the ideas we are setting up as starter pitches from last meeting: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/magazine/magazine.2016-10-20-21.00.… Just my $0.02. :-) -- Paul

[magazine] Python article
by Eduard Lucena 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi team, I'm making some editions to Sylvia's Python article. Particulary, I'm not happy with the results, I think we can discuss this to make it a serie, and not a single article. Being the original Sylvia's article the first one, and the pass to an article about tips, Virtual Environment, PEPs and others. Here is the preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=14577&preview=true&preview_id=14577 Best Regards, -- Eduard Lucena Móvil: +56962318010 GNU/Linux User #589060 Ubuntu User #8749 Fedora Ambassador Latam

[magazine] Calling all writers! Installing supplemental wallpapers

Hello everyone, In today's Magazine meeting, we wanted to help share writing opportunities for anyone looking for a chance to write their first or another article for the Magazine. In case you weren't already aware, there are starter pitches on the Magazine for hot, trending topics you can write about: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=starter-pitches&po… Another of these articles we are looking for writers on in is "How to install supplemental wallpapers". Every new release of Fedora, a series of supplemental wallpapers from the community are packaged and provided for people to install. If they want to add more variety to the wallpapers available by default, they can install these to pick from. More details can be found here: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=15115&preview=1&_ppp=2b7a117006 If you're interested in writing this, please drop a reply here on the list that you're interested.

[magazine] Calling all writers! Installing Chromium in Fedora

Hello everyone, In today's Magazine meeting, we wanted to help share writing opportunities for anyone looking for a chance to write their first or another article for the Magazine. In case you weren't already aware, there are starter pitches on the Magazine for hot, trending topics you can write about: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=starter-pitches&po… One of these articles we are looking for writers on in is "How to install Chromium in Fedora". As of not too long ago, Chromium is now officially packaged in Fedora and can be installed from the main repositories using dnf. We're looking for someone to help explain what Chromium is, differences from Chromium and Chrome, and how to install it with GNOME Software and with dnf. If you're interested in writing this, please drop a reply here on the list that you're interested. We'll move the article from starter pitches to drafts and assign you editing rights so you can get started. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here as well.
