Use of whitelist/blacklist in articles
by Ben Cotton 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Several comments on yesterday's fail2ban article[1], as well as some internal Red Hat mailing list traffic, raised concern with the use of the word "blacklist". While the etymology of the term is not racist, there are reasonable arguments to be made that it can contribute to unconscious bias. Its meaning is also less obvious than alternatives like "block list". So there are two questions here: 1. Should we discourage the use of whitelist and blacklist in Fedora Magazine in favor of alternatives like "allow list" and "block list"/"deny list"? 2. Should we start developing a style guide that addresses this and other issues (e.g. the style of projects like "NetworkManager" (not "Network Manager") and other things both malign and benign (like using the words "simple" or "just") that a style guide normally covers)? I am in favor of both of the above. For anyone who is interested, I learned today that the latest update to the codespell package (currently in testing[2]) can flag some of these issues: codespell --builtin clear,rare,usage <filename> [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/protect-your-system-with-fail2ban-and-firewalld-… [2] https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-12bd755a7c -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Move to Discourse trial — dates proposal
by Adam Samalik 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

We discussed a potential move to Discourse [1] in a thread titled "What if we moved to Discourse?". My impression is that the strong majority of people are either for it, or willing to try. There was a concern about capacity and cost, but let's leave issues such as this to the Council. So, what if we try it for a month, and then decide whether to stay or go back? Proposal: We switch on Thursday 11 June. We'll evaluate how it works during the week of 29 June. On Monday 6 July we either stay or go back, based on the evaluation. There would be broad announcements about every step. What do people think? [1] https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ -- Adam Šamalík --------------------------- Senior Software Engineer Red Hat

Editor of the Week proposal
by Ben Cotton 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi Magazine team, As discussed in last week's meeting, I've drafted a proposal for the Editor of the Week: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bcotton/Magazine_Editor_of_the_Week The idea is two-fold: 1. Ensure tasks don't fall through the cracks by having an assigned person 2. Spread the load by rotating the assignee on a weekly basis FESCo uses a similar model. At the end of each meeting, they select a chair for the following week's meeting. It's also like how Fedora Infrastructure (and many other sysadmin teams) handle on call duties. I explicitly did not address the question of how we promote people to Editor (or remove inactive Editors), because that's a separate discussion. For the purposes of this proposal, we have an editorial team that people become a member of *somehow*. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Greetings
by Gavin Campbell 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hi, I'm a new arrival, I'm a platform engineer from Leicester, which is approximately in the geographic centre of England. Most of my day job has been about Microsoft "stuff", but I have been using Fedora on the desktop since it came on a CD on the cover of PC Pro magazine and wasn't called Fedora. Over the weekend I proposed an article about running the rosetta@home project on a raspberry pi. Anyway, it's a bit slow, but I'm pleased to report that I have apparently contributed "35 Cobblestones of computation" since the weekend. Much of the writeup is done, but there are a few details I need to add before submitting, as well as going through the style rules. The card is marked as "in progress", but I don't think I'm set up yet to assign it to myself or to add the content to wordpress. Cheers, Gavin

I have an article idea that I intend to propose, but I just want to make sure that if the idea is accepted, that I will be the one who gets to write it. I noticed that in the workflow, some of the projects are currently not assigned to writers. Having a considerable amount of notes ready to revise into an actual text, I would obviously want to make sure that I am assigned to the project. Thanks! -Matthew -matt.r.higgins1(a)gmail.com > Hi Matthew, If you want to write the article you propose, you're more than welcome to do so. Sometimes people propose articles that they'd like to see but don't feel capable of writing. These are left available for people who want to write, but don't necessarily know what they'd write about. In other words, proposal submitters have the right of first refusal when it comes to writing the article, but they are not obligated to write the article. Does this help?
