colophon and contributors in rel notes
by Dale Bewley 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

In F10 there was a contributors section in the colophon http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/Legal_Stuff_and_Admin… In F11 the contributors were on the front page which was a little embarrassing, but also kinda cool if you have a early sorting name ;) http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f11/en-US/ F12-Alpha draft does not list contributors http://jjmcd.fedorapeople.org/Download/f12alpha/ Can we going to go back to including contributors from the Colophon Beat at the end in F12? If so, perhaps we should blank it out and ask contributors to re-list themselves. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Colophon_Beat -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3

Fwd: BZ Component and Product Change Request
by Douglas Silas 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

I have a pending request that I need to accomplish soon. There is a ticket for this request: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1667 Mike, just to clarify: did you want the "doc-Deployment_Guide" component under "Fedora" or under "Fedora Documentation"? There seems to be some confusion about this. Thanks, -- Douglas Silas Technical Writer | Red Hat, Inc.

Fedora print magazine proposal from Linux Pro Magazine
by Mel Chua 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Marketing! Logistics! Documentation! News! Design! Ambassadors! (If I've missed a group that should know about this, please forward it on and let me know.) Linux Pro Magazine (LPM) has proposed to make a special Fedora print issue for F12 - thousands of magazines out on newsstands internationally with an F12 DVD tucked inside. This would be very, very cool. We're trying to figure out whether this is possible, whether we should do it, and (if both of those are "yes"), how the balance of work would be distributed between the Fedora community (perhaps with help from the Red Hat Brand team) and LPM. We'd love your thoughts and feedback. This is moving quite rapidly (it first came up on Wednesday afternoon; we need to give a yes or no for F12 next week), so I've summarized the current state of things on a project page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine. We would particularly love your ideas for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine#Contribution_balance. Rikki Kite from LPM is being absolutely awesome about transparency for this entire process, has made a version of the proposal for public consumption (it's all the information that we have, minus financials and circulation numbers): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine_proposal. If you have any questions, please add them to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine#Questions - myself, Max Spevack, Karsten Wade, and David Nalley will be calling Rikki and the folks at LPM tomorrow (Friday), so that'll be a first chance (definitely not the last!) to get some of these questions answered. --Mel PS: One of the most surprising things I've learned in the last 24 hours is that the good folks down in LATAM are already doing a Fedora magazine - see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine#Of_Magazine_work_done_…. Ambassadors *rock.*

open release notes beats and unconfirmed status
by Dale Bewley 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beats there are quite a few open beats, unconfirmed writers (*), and beats still containing F11 content (#). If you have begun work on a F12 beat, it would be helpful if you could confirm your status (remove *), and update the status of the beat if there is no longer obsolete F11 info present (remove #). If you've never written a beat, why don't you consider joining in on the fun?! It's not as difficult as you may think, and you will learn a lot about the topic you choose to cover. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_be_a_release_notes_beat_writer
