[magazine] article idea: Why we close bugs as end-of-life
by Matthew Miller 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

As every release goes end-of-life, we automatically close all of the bugs filed against it -- even if they're not fixed. As a user who went to the trouble to report a bug, this can be frustrating. We can explain why we do it, why it's still valuable to file bugs, and how to reopen bugs when appropriate. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

[magazine] Bitcoin Article
by Ryan Lerch 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

HI all, I have just done an editorial pass on the Electrum / Bitcoin article. I am not really well versed in Bitcoins, so it was a little hard for me to add any extra explainations, but it seems that someone knows a little about bitcoin will be able to use this article to start using electrum. One question that I did have was with this sentence: """ Your bitcoins are lost if your hard drive dies and if you lose your 12 words. """ what is meant by "your 12 words"? other than that, from a copy-editing perspective, this one is ready to go! --ryanlerch

[magazine] Article idea: Launch fedora on dply.co
by Matthew Miller 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

I came across this on Reddit yesterday — a Digital Ocean employee has a service where you can launch test images in a cloud environment really easily from a website with a github account. You get two hours for free. Since Digital Ocean has Fedora (Dusty tells me Fedora 25 should be available RSN), Fedora is an option. I was thinking about a Fedora Magazine article once F25 is available, with a direct link to actually launch a Fedora instance, and some screenshots showing how it works. I'm talking with the creator about also adding Fedora Atomic, and it occured to me that we could have some followup articles with things like "set up Wordpress in a container on Fedora Atomic" with pre-cooked configs for doing that with a button press. To try it (Fedora 24), click this: https://dply.co/b/fz95S8RH -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

There's been an outstanding ticket for the site that I wanted to follow up with you all about: https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/241 Has someone taken ownership of this issue? It still seems to be a problem. Peace, BKP

Hello everyone! I just finished the private browsing part after writing on tracking blocker extensions. I think it needs a wrap up, a featured image and maybe some polishing. What do you think? Preview ==> https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=14606&preview=1&_ppp=f3f8743a1e Cheers, Sylvia

Including this response on the Magazine mailing list as well. I have no objections to publishing ASAP, although I think it might be best until we discover a fix for the CDN serving images since everything looks a little off right now… I think the article will be better received when all the images display accordingly! :) On 11/28/2016 09:53 PM, Ryan Lerch wrote: > OKies, just did a quick edit (just changed the first two sentences > slightly). > > I also added a new image with the new DO logo, so this one is right to go... > > except, we are currently having an issue with the features images not > showing up due to a CDN issue (this is being worked on). > > i'm happy to post ASAP though, the news is more important than a > featured image, IMHO. :) > > attached is the featured image i did for it, just for reference and review. > > --ryanlerch > > On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 12:01 PM, Dusty Mabe <dusty(a)dustymabe.com > <mailto:dusty@dustymabe.com>> wrote: > > > > On 11/28/2016 08:41 PM, Dusty Mabe wrote: > > Hey all, > > > > We have Fedora in DigitalOcean now.

Since this would likely be shared across a wide audience, I wanted to make sure that we get our messaging right in this article (CCing Magazine and CommOps mailing lists too). It might also be because I'm tired, but I was trying to brainstorm ideas for how to use IRC effectively a la Fedora's recommendations, but was coming up short. Any additions or ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks everyone. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

It'll be awesome to have some more coverage of some available games in Fedora. :) I like the idea of splitting up the articles and having this one be focused exclusively on Endless Sky. In the meanwhile, I have ported your article you sent into the Fedora Magazine interface (i.e. WordPress). You can see a public preview of it here... https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=15750&preview=1&_ppp=f34d4f74b1 And if you're signed into the Magazine, you should be able to edit it and update it here... https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=15750&action=edit Feel free to make any changes to the article to make it current. Once you feel it's ready for publishing, you can set the article from "Draft" status to "Pending review" on the right sidebar when editing the article. This will let the rest of the Magazine team know that it's ready to be edited and queued for publishing. (Also, your screenshot is embedded in the article, and even though it's not showing up right now, we're working on fixing a bug with our CDN to show images correctly... but it is there.) Thanks again for your time and effort working on this! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

The next HDYF article is ready for review. https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=15660&preview=1&_ppp=a5c0630c6c The feature image was not the best - I could not pull out more detail in his face. If someone else wants to try to tweak the image please feel free. Charles
