Fedora Handbook - Call for Native Speakers
by Jiri Eischmann 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Hi, at last year's Flock I announced Fedora Handbook (a "getting started with Fedora" guide that is printed and can be give away at event etc.). Because it was created in the Czech community, the original is in Czech. The handbook was very successful at Czech events, so we translated it to English, so that it could be used abroad and translated to other languages. We have initial English translation, but it's rough and it needs a lot of proofreading and rewriting which is something that needs to be done by a native speaker. It's written in AsciiDoc, easily readable and editable format: https:// github.com/lukaskotek/fedora-handbook-doc Any volunteer to help? It'd be great to have it finished and printed for Flock 2016. All I need is final text, we'll take care of typesetting and printing. Jiri

Trip to Flock
by Natalie Ardasevova 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi guys! I'd like to ask for your input: I would like to go to the Flock conference in Krakow at the beginning of August. I need to write a proposal for my (Red Hat) managers to show them the benefits of this trip. I'm wondering, do you have any journalists on your behalf that will be at Flock? Could I be of any use there to you and write some report/article(s) for your magazine? Thank you! Natalie Ardasevova nardasev(a)redhat.com Marketing Communications Specialist

Fedora 24 G11N talking points
by pravin.d.s＠gmail.com 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Hi, I am just wondering how can we promote improvement in Fedora 24 from G11N side. We have already drafted major points in Wiki. [1] Do you think having post in Magazine good here? Any other ideas? :) Thanks, Pravin Satpute 1.https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/G11N/Fedora_24_Talking_points (Created new page, since General talk page was more on products side and IMO G11N was not fitting well into it.)

Magazine meeting canceled next week?
by Justin W. Flory 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Hey all, I figured it may have been assumed since a lot of us will be not as available next week due to Flock, but I figured for clarity's sake for others not around, the Magazine meeting next week is probably canceled, right? I don't think either myself, Paul, or Ryan will be around to chair. If so, I can remove the Fedocal event for next week. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[Minutes] [2016-07-27] More shared secrets, F25 talking points, no meeting next week
by Justin W. Flory 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hey all! At this week's Marketing meeting, we discussed moving forward with the plans for the shared passwords repository (shout-out to bkp for putting together the policy proposal on that) as well as putting together the usual Fedora 25 talking points. A lot of gears are rolling, and we're going to try to cover both technical and non-technical sides of the coming changes too. Should be interesting to see how these go! Also, there is *no meeting* next week due to Flock. We will meet next on Wednesday, Aug 10, 2016. See you all either at Flock or on the 10th! = = = = = Meeting ended Wed Jul 27 21:52:20 2016 UTC.

The main idea is to create a monthly downloadable version, in different formats like PDF, to publish all the article of each month. = Ideas = * Use a wordpress plugin to automate the creation of the format. Until now the proposed plugins are: 1. IssueM[[BR]]https://wordpress.org/plugins/issuem/ [[BR]]The good thing is the autogeneration by date, issue-based publication and simple configuration. GPLv2 Licence.[[BR]]The cons: no table of content, no magazine cover, is just: publish this articles and goodbye. 2. PDF Create Station[[BR]]https://wordpress.org/plugins/kalins-pdf- creation-station/ [[BR]]The pros: Highly configurable, issue-based publication[[BR]]The cons: One guy development make hard to update and get responses to bugs and issues found in the plugin. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/233> Marketing Team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> The Trac site for the Fedora Project Marketing team.

#232: Creating low-hanging fruit tasks ---------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: jflory7 Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 24 Component: Internal operations | Severity: urgent Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ---------------------------------+------------------------ = Problem = The Marketing project does not always communicate well the work we are doing in terms of filed tickets and other recurring tasks. To help new contributors get involved, more "easyfix"-style tasks should be created that any contributor of varying experience would be able to take on. = Analysis = Creating these kinds of tasks will make it easier for people to get involved and slowly work their way up to other types of tasks. This has been demonstrated (successfully) by other sub-projects. = Enhancement Recommendation = In addition to a "ticket filing frenzy", having a long-term strategy for this would be helpful. We don't just want to create these tasks for Fedora 24 and then run into the same problem next year. Looking ahead to the future would be helpful for the longevity of Marketing. I'm postponing discussing this ticket until after (or maybe during) Flock. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/232> Marketing Team <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing> The Trac site for the Fedora Project Marketing team.

[Magazine] Ideas for new short articles
by Paul W. Frields 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I discussed keyword focused articles recently with Rikki Endsley, an editor for opensource.com. She told me one way to boost visibility, searchability, and site visits is to target articles directly at the things people are searching for e.g. on Google. The http://keywordtool.io site discovers popular searches based on keywords. I entered "Fedora how to" and here is the list it retrieved for me: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/392172/84893614 While some of the searches are not necessarily good ones for a short, targeted article, many are. I would propose that we use this list to seed article pitches and assign them to new writers, rather than doing just arbitrary technical articles which may not perform as well over the long term. By the way, Rikki mentioned that titling the article just like a search can help boost its visibility as well, e.g. "How to start sshd on Fedora." -- Paul W.
