Feedback needed : Metrics for Fedora Magazine
by Dhanesh B. Sabane 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Greetings Magazine team! We at CommOps are aiming to generate metrics for Fedora Magazine which can provide us with interesting insights about the articles we post. To better achieve the goals, we would love to know what kind of metrics we can collect that can prove to be helpful for the Magazine team and eventually benefit the Fedora Project as a whole. Please reply to this email or comment on the Pagure ticket[1] and help us understand the requirements. Cheers! [1] https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/108 -- Dhanesh B.

[PITCH] Follow up article of Bitcoin on Fedora with Electrum
by Jonny Heggheim 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hi, a year ago I wrote Bitcoin on Fedora with Electrum [1]. Last week Electrum was updated to version 3.0.2 and today Electron Cash (a fork of Electrum) that works on the Bitcoin Cash chain was approved [2]. It would be nice to use Fedora Magazine to announce that we include Electron Cash in our package repository. Sincerely Jonny Heggheim [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/bitcoin-fedora-electrum/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526429

Note on copying
by Paul Frields 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Sometimes it's a good idea to quote in an article where it helps the reader understand a topic, or promotes an additional reliable source. However, copying wholesale from articles -- even if the text's license allows it -- is unacceptable for the Magazine. There may be limited exceptions by agreement with the editors and community. But at its worst, it's plagiarism. As a rule, writers should avoid copying from elsewhere. -- Paul

New pitch idea: Raspberry GPIO expander
by Alessio Ciregia 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Hello. You can find more information about the topic here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/gpio-expander/ In short words, you can use the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi Zero without installing an OS on it: you don't need an SD card nor a power supply. You only have to plug the USB cable between your PC and the RPi, and you can drive the GPIO pins directly from your laptop or desktop. Deepening a little, even if I'm not an expert of buildroot and so on, the RPi Zero perform the boot of a minimal system via the USB interface and it emulates an ethernet dongle. I would like to write how to use such handy functionality on Fedora (and it's nothing complicated: you only have to clone the GIT repos and build the gpioexpander and usbboot programs) because reading various posts around the web, it seems that this feature can be used only on the Raspberry Pi Desktop (aka Pixel) and Ubuntu distros, and this is a misleading impression: in fact we can use also our beloved Fedora workstation, even if there are not RPMs available. Ciao, A.

Supplemental Wallpapers post on the magazine!
by Ryan Lerch 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

This post[1] is scheduled to go out this friday. However, after discussion in the meeting today, it was decided that it might be best if we update the rules in nuancier itself[2], and simply link to them rather than list all the rules on the announcement post. pingou, is it hard to update the page with the rules that are in the post, but not on nuancier? cheers, ryanlerch [1] - https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=19792&preview=1&_ppp=fa8ef6684b [2] - https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/contribute/
