Hello. In the last times I'm tinkering with Fedora on the Raspberry Pi, and I'm blogging about my adventures.
While these things could not be suitable for the magazine, due to the fact that there is too much to hack to accomplish some tasks, today, thanks to pbrobinson input, I was able to turn on an LED from inside a container: a Raspberry Pi 3 running Fedora IoT 28 with a container powered by podman ( https://pagure.io/fedora-iot/issue/15#comment-527475).
Since the tasks are pretty simple and they work out of the box, and due to the novelty of the topic, I think that it could be interesting to publish the howto on the Magazine instead of on a blog post.
There are two problems: I'm not a Fedora IoT expert, and neither a podman expert, I'm more like a newbie user. Maybe I'm able to write two sentences about them, just to have an idea of what we are talking about, but nothing more. The article would be mainly focused on the tasks to follow to install Fedora IoT on the RPi, run a container that can access the GPIO with podman and from inside it use the CLI in order to turn on an LED.
What do you think?
Ciao, A.

And by the way, what is the correct form? "a LED" or "an LED"?
Thanks

It's "an LED", because it's pronounced "el ee dee" — it's the initial vowel sound that matters.

It depends on how you pronounce it. For instance, there are no doubts with 'an HP printer', because 'HP' does not form a word. Apparently, LED is an acronym, so there are variants, but in written form 'an LED' is preferred.

I think that's fine -- maybe get some IoT and podman experts to review just to be sure there's nothing misleading or really wrong?

Agreed. The editors discussed tonight and approved this pitch. Alessio, we look forard to your draft. If you need anything, feel free to ask here on the list or come by IRC Freenode #fedora-magazine for help.

The podman team would be very happy to help with this in any way we can.

Yesterday I pasted a first draft of the article on the magazine sit. While the part related to podman should be ok, thanks to vrothberg from #podman IRC channel, for the IoT part I'm waiting for a review from the iot folks.
Ciao A.

Alessio, have you heard back from the IoT folks on this article? (cc'ing Peter since he might be at least one of said folks.)
