Fedora 29 Beta Blog Post
by Ben Cotton 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hi Marketing team, John Terrill (cc'ed) has a draft blog post for the Red Hat blog announcing the F29 Beta. Content is below. Please provide any feedback you have by Thursday morning. (This might also help jump start the content for the Ambassadors talking points) ### Fedora 29 Beta now available By Matthew Miller, Fedora Project Leader September 18, 2018 We’re pleased to announce that Fedora 29, the latest version of the Fedora operating system, is now available in beta. The Fedora Project is a global community that works together to help the advancement of free and open source software, culminating in the innovative Fedora operating system designed to answer end user needs across the computing spectrum. Delivered as three separate editions (Fedora Server, Fedora Atomic Host, and Fedora Workstation), each is designed to provide a free, Linux-based system tailored to meet specific use cases. As with all Fedora beta releases, the common foundation of all Fedora editions has been updated with minor bug fixes and package tweaks. Enhancements to Fedora 29 Beta’s base packages include Python 3.7, Perl 5.28. glibc 2.28, gloang 1.11, and MySQL 8 . Modularity for all Highlighting Fedora 29 Beta is the addition of modularity across all Fedora editions. First delivered in Fedora 28 Server, modularity enables multiple versions of the same software (like Node.js) to exist on a single instance of Fedora 29 Beta. This provides some users the ability to use tried-and-true versions of software while enabling other users to work with just-released innovation, without impacting the overall stability of the Fedora operating system. [EXPLAIN HOW THIS IMPACTS EACH EDITION OF FEDORA - DEVELOPERS, ADMINS, ATOMIC?] ARM, the Internet of Things and Fedora As the world of connected devices grows, from smart homes to industrial sensors, the importance of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies does as well. Helping to power these technologies are ARM microprocessors, which are often delivered in small, energy-sipping form factors to power these armies of tiny devices. The importance of ARM to IoT has not been lost on Fedora, and several new features in Fedora 29 Beta are aimed at making the Fedora operating system a solid home for both ARM and IoT. These features start with enhanced ZRAM support for swap on ARMv7 and aarch64, which helps improve the performance and reliability of Fedora 29 Beta on ARM Single Board Computers, like the Raspberry Pi. These devices are frequently used by “makers” and in many developmental IoT solutions. Additionally, Fedora 29 Beta now also supports uEFI for ARMv7, which helps to simplify the user experience across architectures, including ARM. Previous versions of Fedora delivered a separate boot cycle for ARM devices - while still a supported architecture, this could lead to end user challenges. With the full support of uEFI for ARM, all users, regardless of architecture, can have a smoother Fedora experience from start to finish. You can take Fedora 29 Beta for a spin yourself at https://getfedora.org. As always, the Fedora Project team wants to hear from you – let us know about any bugs or problems that you encounter, as your feedback can help us improve Fedora 29. Common issues can be found on the Fedora 29 common bugs page (please read this on how to effectively report bugs). If you are interested in becoming more involved with Fedora, we want you on our team! You can contribute to the Fedora Project in many ways other than bug reporting – the Fedora Project is always looking for translators, testers, content creators, marketers, designers and so much more. Whatever your skill set, we would love to have you involved – find out more at http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/. The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored community project. For more information about Fedora, please visit the Fedora Project homepage. ### -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Self-Introduction: Robert Wright
by Robert Wright 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Hello! My name is Robert Wright (fas/irc: rwright) and I live in Poole, UK. I found out about Fedora Marketing after reviewing the sub projects on the Fedora Wiki, and am currently interested in how I can volunteer some of my time to building out long term marketing support for the project. I’ve worked volunteer roles in the past with Campaign groups, as well as Conventions (Sci-fi/Anime/Gaming) and am used to the stress that comes with wrangling volunteers as well This would be my first true marketing project I’ve worked on, but in my day job, I work as a Product Manager, and am skilled in preparing materials and supporting both marketing and sales for my products I manage today in my role. I want to volunteer to help me learn more skills I can apply to other areas of my life professionally. My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: - Product / Platform Management, including customer journey planning, user research, and using design thinking methods (ideas, ideas, ideas!!) - Community Management and Marketing, working for a Convention back in Boise, ID, I learned a lot about print media as well as digital marketing (Google Ads, planning and designing Social Media campaigns, survey design and analysis, and building by-mouth campaigns to drive interest). - Software Engineering, mostly in a PHP and PostgreSQL/MySQL environment, but am learning Python as the community here has really embraced Python in the culture of Fedora’s infra. I wanted to learn more about long term projects, including what projects could use some support, and how I can pitch in to help generate content for the next release. I am excited to hopefully start contributing with you all!
