Vacation List/Short Break- Shadow Cabinet

Tuesday, 25 October 2011

Hi Pascal and Fedora Experts
Good work.
I would like to throw light on our "taking a Short Break - List" as i
understand. I propose full usage for Ambassadors and editors too.  Vacation
List
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Vacation

We can also add a shadow responsibility alike shadow cabinet of ministers, a
co-editor who can step in within 24 to 36 hours if timely update is not
done.

For Ambassadors Beat for which I hold,  Buddhika will be shadow editor,
 will be standing in if i am delayed/on vacation

Thanks and regards
Richard Vijay

 Hi folks -

 We are more than a month since we have had enough content for another issue
 of FWN, and so I thought I would post openly to the News, Ambassadors, and
 Marketing lists, asking for some dialogue around this, and seeking some new
 contributors, perhaps.

 Fedora Weekly News is a very important vehicle for letting both the Fedora
 community and the external Linux community, know what the happenings are
 with the Fedora Project.  FWN has been around for many years and is a
 trusted brand that the community looks forward to each week.

 Writing for FWN is definitely a time commitment, on a weekly basis, and so
 its understandable that FWN's volunteer beat writers sometimes have a hard
 time contributing on that regular a basis.

 But, if we don't have writers for FWN, we don't have content to produce an
 issue, and the community loses the vibrant voice that they have relied on in
 the past.

 Do you have suggestions for making FWN an easier time commitment?  Should
 we consider moving FWN to a biweekly frequency for some beats that don't
 have enough content for a weekly beat?

 So, I would like to hear from both current beat writers to FWN, and
 community members that perhaps would like to get involved as a writer for
 FWN.  The bar is not high for participation.  You basically need to have:

 1) Continuing interest and passion in the Fedora Project, perhaps on some
 particular aspect or subproject that you'd like to write on
 2) A bit of familiarity with Mediawiki tagging and conventions, and the
 Fedora Project wiki Style Guide
 3) A Commitment to produce a beat on more or less weekly basis

 Thanks for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from some
 of you and your ideas to make FWN a viable and vibrant media vehicle for the
 Fedora Project again.

 - Pascal

 I believe that our strength is in the community. I am also concerned to
 see it all, we do have to admit it was difficult circumstances. That
 way we know what we should do.
 In my opinion, FWN should still be weekly, why: in a week there are
 actually a lothappening in Fedora that we can say
 in FWN. Adding one or two new categories Iguess it does not matter. I am
 interested to participate in FWN. But what can I do,what I should know in
 advance in order to be a good contributor?.
 Thank you.
