Article on image upscaling
by Alexander Tolstoy
Hello,
I'm currently working on the 'Upscale images with better results' article.
This will be ready by the end of the week or so (I hope to mention it later
today at our meeting as well). The article features 3 open source tools, of
which 2 are pretty easy to build on Fedora. However, the third one,
Waifu2x, turned out to be a bit tricky to get it running. Not only it
requires Nvidia CUDA and depends on this vendor, it also takes time and
patience to sort things out before a reader will be able to actually
upscale something :) Take a look at this great how-to for Waifu2x on Centos
to get the impression: http://blog.jicoman.info/2015/09/waifu2x_centos
I suspect that the installation instructions are a bit too long for the
magazine.
Nevertheless, I'm going to try CL-Waifu2x (
https://github.com/marcan/cl-waifu2x), a similar project that seems to be
easier to use. I'll let you know if I succeed with it.
Thanks for your attention and have a nice day everyone!

Mentioned on Linux Unplugged
by Link Dupont
The Magazine was mentioned in episode 262[1] of the Linux Unplugged
podcast. Our timely article on ftransform turned out to be a solution
to a recent announcement from Dropbox about dropping support for many
Linux filesystems. Pretty cool!

Article draft: lvm-raid-on-fedora
by Radka Janekova
Hi,
I skipped pitch because I had already written this on my blog, so I just
pasted it in, tried to fix things and saved it straight as draft[1]
So on topic of fixing things, I have my specific formatting style on my
website that is incompatible with Magazine, I fixed those things to line up
with the Magazine guidelines, however I wasn't sure about some parts of the
text... I would appreciate any feedback you could throw my way if you feel
like this could be a good article for Magazine.
I was also wondering whether the current title is okay:
Build your own RAID Array in Fedora using LVM.
...or maybe
Building RAID 5 on Fedora using LVM
Further I think that I will write a followup about recovering from failure
when I have some more time again, as described in this[2] comment.
OH and I've no clue what to do about featured image, ideas would be
welcome... One idea from another contributor was an image of a Fedora
badger throwing disks at brtfs :D
