Hi. The following is from Linux Format and the document covers the use of Ubuntu all the way. Can we find a way to get Linux Format to perhaps update their Starter Pack with Fedora this time?

Thanks.

All of the magazines have talked with us a number of times over the years. What is needed is one or a few motivated Fedora people to coordinate our side, organizing content contributors, etc.

Most recently we've talked with Linux Pro Magazine (US)/Linux Magazine (EMEA) and they've done special issues for Ubuntu and openSuSE. They are very willing to help us. I think it's probably to late in the cycle for F11, but perhaps for F12. Essentially we need people dedicated to produce the content and get it in on time.

Yeah, I talked with Rikki from Linux Pro after you did and asked that we get put on their calendar for Nov.-ish for F12. I've talked with them in the past, in fact supplied them a Fedora Unity respin for an issue last Fall, but I didn't/don't have the time to carry the entire ball.
I think this should include Ambassadors, but IMO coordinating with big publication magazines should be a Marketing activity.
David -- have you talked with anyone enthusiastic about coordinating this? Some Docs team writers would surely be interested.

I talked to the FWN editors, who seem interested. Aside from our conversations and a few with GDK
Yes I think Docs would be a great resource though I am hesitant to introduce yet another project until after F11 release.

Fortunately, I bet that it won't be any actual work before F11 release. More coordination, getting on the publication calendar, scope decisions, and that sort. In fact, we can stipulate that no one can be made very available until after F11 is complete.
I remember the jolt of surprise and delight when I turned the page of a Linux magazine and there was an article by you, David (on BackupPC). I'd like to see much more of that from our community. :)

I tend to agree - perhaps I should have rephrased though and said I don't want to distract from recruiting beat writers and the like.
Per Michael DeHaan, the article I wrote about Cobbler stirred up a lot of interest, perhaps we should consider doing that for some of the fedorahosted projects.
