Would it be worthwhile to create a pamphlet for Ambassadors that invites potential writers at Linux or FOSS events?
I'd think we would need to spell out what we're looking for in terms of (1) collaboration, and (2) openness to assignment. Also what we can provide in editorial talent.
Does this sound interesting at all?

I think this could be a fun way to encourage more writers to the Magazine. I think OSDC does something similar when they go to events in North America. If we wanted to ask for something to compare to or to get feedback on, we could try opening a thread with some of the OSDC team to get their perspective on that.
But generally, I think this is a good idea and I would like to see it happen. Especially for some of the events that are being fit into the current FAmNA event strategy for the past year or two, this is an easier contribution method where we could have a high impact. However, I would encourage us to open dialogue with the Marketing and Design teams for this too.
+1 from me on the idea. I don't think I'll have the cycles to contribute copytext or look over anything until mid-June, but around then, I would be more available to help with something like this. I guess the main priority for now is to get the copy done, and then we can start working with the Design Team on producing this.
Hello,
I like the idea. Writing articles and translating are low hanging fruits in terms of contribution to a project. We should think a nice design for it.
Cheers, Sylvia

Yes, I think this would be interesting. Each ambassador has to go an 'event report' when they are at a sponsored event. What would be fantastic is if we had a framework for creating an article that would both cover the event and meet the requirement of an ambassador event report.
Let me ponder that for a while and see if I can come up with something more specific to suggest.

I believe that CommOps and FAmSCo are also working on this concept. It'd be great see you all collaborate. It'd also be great if the CommBlog (or Magazine if appropriate) became publication targets for this.

+1 for the idea, we can reuse the format for diversity events as well.
Is there any ticket for this discussion?
Thanks, Amita

Just to reiterate, my proposal is for a physical pamphlet promoting the Magazine, which Ambassadors could hand to potential writers at events -- people who are not Fedora contributors but might get involved through easy writing tasks. I like Charles' idea too but let's disconnect that from this thread.
If we want to have comm-ops track the pamphlet concept through a ticket in their queue, I can file it. Is that the right way to go, Amita?

Thanks Paul for explaining :) . I like both ideas. But, I am more interested in the "framework for creating an article" specially for event reports and publicizing the event. As, I can reuse that for diversity events.
If we want to have comm-ops track the pamphlet concept through a ticket in their queue, I can file it. Is that the right way to go, Amita?
It will be nice to have a ticket, so that this great idea does not get lost in mails. I also would like to know about "framework for creating an article", do we want to track this too somewhere with different ticket? Please advice :)
