In my article "Organizing those 1s and 0s" I want to answer Frank, but I'm not sure about magazine policy on the comment by seeker_moc. It seems I can only approve both for posting. What shall I do? Have a Great Day! Pat

Hi Ryan, would you be able to make a set of "Best of 2019" images for the magazine? We need them for "developers," "users," "sysadmins," and an "editors' choice" one. -- Paul

RFC: Representing "image needed" in Taiga
by Ben Cotton 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

One weakness of the current editorial workflow[1] is that there's no obvious way to indicate that an article needs a featured image. There are four possibilities I see. What does the team think? 1. Create a new column Advantages: Easy to see which articles need images so that people can easily claim those. Disadvantages: Adds another step to the flow and doesn't represent well that images can be done in parallel to editing. 2. Use a tag Advantages: Color coding means the card indicates the article needs an image in most view. Disadvantages: It's not clear what the color coding means unless you already know. 3. Use a custom field Advantages: Can have multiple choices to represent state (needed, in progress, done). Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card 4. Use a task within the user story Advantages: Can be assigned and have it's own state. We could also potentially do the same for editing, though that might be redundant. Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card.

Holiday schedule coverage
by Paul Frields 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

The holiday period in December will be here before you know it. The Magazine has a lot of staff who are planning vacation and PTO time over that period. That doesn't mean everyone will automatically disappear. But in my case, I tend to spend my vacation away from the keyboard and doing other things. I bet some others do likewise. The hardest period to cover will be December 23 - January 1 -- which is 5 slots in our normal schedule. So we should figure out how to pre-fill our schedule and not have the Magazine "run dry" for several weeks. Here are some ideas for how we could accomplish this. But we need other ideas and content, too. Please contribute your ideas and we can discuss in the next meeting (Wednesday 1300 UTC, 8:00am EST, 2:00pm CEST in IRC Freenode #fedora-meeting). (1) If you're a new writer we would still love to have your contributions early, so we could schedule articles to publish over the holidays. (2) We could make a "best of 2019" series that would run for 3-5 slots on the Magazine. Last year I think we chose articles that represented for developers, sysadmins, and user tools. We could use those or even add a couple categories. We could do a year-end wrap up as well. (3) We could resurrect a few articles to refresh and repost. You can reset a published article to scheduled, and it will be re-posted on the new date. If we do this, the article should be checked for accuracy and updated as needed to reflect Fedora 31 reality. (4) We could get a bunch of like-minded writers to participate in a new series that we finish and schedule to run over the holidays. Other ideas are welcome. -- Paul

Article About Screen
by Carmine Zaccagnino 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

Hi everyone, I recently introduced myself to you for the first time. I saw there was an article spec about screen that was unassigned. I assigned it to myself and started working on the article (that you can see at https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29819&preview=true). Now I feel I have nothing else to write about the topic unless there's anyone to tell me there's anything to change, add or remove. I moved the user story to "Review" in Kanban. Is that how everything is supposed to be done? Am I just supposed to wait now until anyone reviews it? Thank you, Carmine
