[Fedora Magazine] Wordpress success!
by Máirín Duffy
Hi folks,
Nirik set up fedora-mag-admin(a)fedoraproject.org for us and I used it to
set up an OpenShift account. I discovered a few things:
- It's dead simple to set up WordPress on OpenShift.
- WordPress has a built-in update system that seems to work fine on
OpenShift, so maintenance should not be too difficult.
- I tested out the OpenID plugin for WordPress with my FAS account, and
it works fine. We can limit account creations to only those with valid
OpenIDs. Once someone logs in with an OpenID and creates an account, an
admin can promote them to any role needed.
So, it's looking good to run Fedora Magazine on OpenShift / Wordpress.
Here's the running instance I have now:

The new FWN -- old list or new list?
by Ruth Suehle
To recap:
- We decided to replace FWN with an update newsletter of highlights from
things that are posted to the new Fedora Magazine.
- Fedora Weekly News is sent to fedora-announce-list.
Question:
Should we continue to send this update to fedora-announce-list, or
should Fedora Magazine have its own subscriber list? Is there a subset
of people who might be interested in the Fedora Magazine updates who
wouldn't be interested in being on fedora-announce-list?
Discuss!

Hello everyone,
Its good that everyone agreed to Wordpress.Regarding domain/hostname , we should associate another domain name with that blog because we cant expect any user to type it in address bar and wont be practical too.So, if possible we can have a dedicated hostname and associate it with project Fedora.
Thank you,

Well, this is what we have historicaly in the schedule, Jiri already
asked me how these dates are set. So I'd like to ask the team to
review it - not sure Town Halls are held (and what's is/was purpose),
how the budget allocation works. But - let me know, I'd like to do
broader schedule review for F19 to remove outdated items etc.

You are the best! Let's get a little content seeded before we publicize it of course. And I assume we want to redirect the URL to something friendlier. Suggestions? Magazine.fp.o, or a dedicated fedoramagazine.com?

Self-Introduction: Jonathan Seeley
by Jonathan Seeley
Hello all,
My name is Jonathan Seeley. I live in Cincinnati, OH, USA where I work as
a management consultant specializing in public sector finance. My FAS
username is jseeley and my IRC nick is jseeley as well.
I’m probably a bit different than most Fedora contributors in that (1) I
have no experience and little interest in programming, coding or software
development, and (2) I have no background in IT, computer science or any
type of technology at all. However, I enjoy using Fedora on my home
computer and I am a proponent of free and open source software in general.
I decided to become a contributor because I want to help promote and
facilitate the use of Fedora at home and in the workplace. I’m interested
in joining the Marketing Team because I believe I can provide input and
guidance on what corporations are looking for in an operating system and
how to effectively communicate the features of Fedora and the advantages it
has over its competitors.
This is definitely the first FOSS project I’ve worked on. I’ve been
involved with several marketing projects in the past, most dealing with
RFP/Q responses, general business development initiatives, and the direct
marketing of products and services to potential clients.
The technical skills I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing are:
* Quantitative modeling and forecasting of usage/activity
* Cost-benefit analyses and economic impact studies
* Benchmarking and statistical analyses
* Development and application of effective marketing practices and
strategies
In addition to my day job, I am enrolled in the MBA program at the
University of Cincinnati. My interests include golf, skiing, piano, travel
and aviation. I’m a fan of most sports, but particularly American football
and basketball (I’m attempting to follow cricket, but it’s difficult find
coverage where I live).
I plan on sitting in on a few IRC meetings and volunteering my help
wherever needed, but if you’d like me to help out with a specific project,
please just let me know and I’ll be happy to contribute whatever I can!
Looking forward to working with you all,
Jonathan

FAmSCo calls for F18 release parties!
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
we're just a few weeks away from the release of long awaited Fedora 18
and we have just a few registered release parties:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_release_events
APAC has done a good job, but EMEA has only one release party currently,
and LATAM and NA not a single one.
Fedora 18 is going to be a great release and release parties are a great
opportunity to show the release to users. They're really important from
from the marketing perspective and are usually a lot of fun, too.
That's why FAmSCo would like to encourage you to organize one in your
city, university,... Fedora Project can help you cover costs related to
release party organizing and don't forget that FAmSCo has announced a
contest in which organizers of the best release party in each region
will be given $80 to have a nice dinner.
