May 2020 - [MOVED TO DISCOURSE] Fedora Magazine - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/project/magazine/57

by Gregory Bartholomew

I've been randomly checking the magazine's dashboard and approving comments as part of my editor duties, but I saw one from Paul that has me wondering if maybe I should be rejecting more of them. Paul said something to the effect of "this isn't a support forum". And that makes sense to me -- we don't necessarily want all the problems advertised on the magazine. At the same time though, I have rejected some comments just because they were low information, excessively critical/negative, and repeated what had already been stated (in a better way) by others. But then the commenter sent another comment complaining/asking why his/her comment had been rejected. I think Red Hat's motto is "be open", so I'm not quite sure how to handle some of these situations. I think it would be a nice feature if there were an option to have the rejection message say something like "Please direct support-related posts to https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/". Maybe such a feature exists and I'm not aware of it? Just tying to make sure that I am handling this part of the job properly. Thanks.

Writer credentials for Nick

by s40w5s＠gmail.com

Hello Adam, Paul, and Ben, I was wanting to communicate with the author of #172 article for Fedora Magazine, but he is not in the drop down list of users available to assign to an article yet. Can one of you please get Nick set up as a contributor on the Taiga instance we use? Best regards, Stephen

Heads up: Changing image generation script

by Ben Cotton

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I'll be changing the Makefile in the fedoramagazine-images repo to work with Inkscape 1.0. A few of the flags we use to generate the images have changed in the 1.0 release. Inkscape 1.0 is available in F31 and F32, as well as Flathub. Since Fedora 30 (which still has 0.92) is EOL in about a week and a half, I don't feel bad leaving it in the cold. I opened a PR against the repo if anyone wants to provide comment: https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-images/pull-request/106 I'll merge this tomorrow unless this breaks things horribly for anyone. Thanks, BC -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Pieces of Fedora Silverblue

by Ben Cotton

Nick, I took a pass at combining two of your Silverblue articles into a single article as we discussed earlier today: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=31001&preview=1&_ppp=0550e7e4ed This was a pretty deep surgery at times, so I won't list all of the edits I made. Here's the high-level view: * I tried to organize it into a logical flow, the headers should make this clear * Most of the content comes directly from your two articles (sometimes re-ordered from where you originally had them), but I did insert a few sentences here and there to fix the flow * I added a little more to the end to give it a soft landing I'm happy to discuss any questions on-list or in #fedora-magazine (I'm generally around from 1300-2100 UTC, give or take). If you don't have any objections, I'll get this scheduled for Friday morning. If you do have objections, we'll converge on an agreeable solution. Thanks, BC -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Editors: Pagure-Taiga plugin for streamlining issue to card creation

by s40w5s＠gmail.com

Hello Editors, After the last magazine meeting, I was looking at Pagure issues for topics that reflected what had been discussed as potential workload decrease for the transfer of issues (proposals) for Fedora Magazine articles from our pagure instance to the Taiga cards we use for article progress tracking. There is a plugin available at this link https://github.com/Pagure/pagure-taiga. It may be what we are needing. Stephen

Hello! I am looking to contribute.

by Jason Paciella

Hello, I hope everybody here is doing well, I am a high school student who is looking to contribute to the Fedora Magazine. I have a lot more free time now, and I decided a good way to use it would be to give back to the Fedora Project. I apologize if this is the wrong place to introduce myself, I am pretty sure the /Getting Access/ part of the wiki meant here. I have been using Linux since I was twelve, and I have been using Fedora specifically for maybe one or two years. There was also a brief period where I used Gentoo, it was a pretty enjoyable experience, but I have since switched back to Fedora, and I do enjoy it. I look forward to contributing to the Fedora Magazine! --Jason Paciella (peoplepotatoes)
