Self-Introduction: Nathaniel Slater

by Nathaniel Slater

Hi, my name is Nathaniel (Nate) Slater and I live in Sydney, Australia (AEDST). MyFedora Account System (FAS) <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts>username is spartandbx, and myIRC <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IRC>nick is spartan_dbx. I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through the Fedora Projects website, and am interested in joining because not being so technically minded like other members, I wanted to contribute something back to the Fedora community, in an area that I actually do have experience in.. This is the first FOSS project I have worked on! (So be nice!) I have worked on various marketing projects before, ranging from social media consultancy to market research and advertising campaigns My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include: * (Marketing Skills) - Social Media, Research Program development (not software), and Corporate Identity Development When I'm not working on Fedora, I am a Senior Corporate Governance Consultant. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are to a) See Fedora become more publicly visible to those looking for an alternative to major Operating Systems, and b) See Fedora (or a suitable 'Fork') become widely used through out the Education sector (my wife, being a teacher may have something to do with that.) I'm wondering how the Fedora Community has utilised Social Media to spread the word of FOSS and Fedora itself. -- Nate

Mooooove your eyes over here: F18 release announcement. Translations feedback appreciated as well....

by Robyn Bergeron

Hi folks, As I promised (but not as soon as I had hoped) I've added some details around features, as well as some other text, to the release announcement: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_release_announcement A few things I'd love to hear back on: * The feature deprecation section. I think it's been a long while since we had this section - and it seems to me (I have been known to be incorrect... a lot) that it feels like maybe those details have a better home in the release notes. Either way, there is some additional text in the section regarding "offer workarounds or alternatives," etc. that - if we keep this in - needs to go. I guess my question is, really, do people feel like this is "release announcement-worthy" - bearing in mind that is is a pretty lengthy announcement as is - or better suited to RN? * Punniness and translations. I'd like to get this wrapped up so that our (totally awesome and fantastic) folks who translate the release announcement can do that and be prepped for release day, and not worried about "if it's going to change again." That said - the release announcement is chuck-filled with puns - we really milked them for all they were worth, and had a total field day with it. Which is great - it makes for a slightly less dry and boring announcement, and (to be honest) makes writing it a heck of a lot less boring and dry, but tends to make it really... awkward to translate, since a lot of the puns don't really work in translation. (ie: I seriously doubt the sound "mooooo" and the word translation for move are compatible in other languages.) So, I'll throw this out there as a proposal, and if any translators are reading this, it would be great to have your feedback: Would it be useful to provide a no-cow-jokes version, perhaps simply linked in a commented-out way in the section where translators will add their links to the translated documents so they actually see that a no-joke version exists? It shouldn't be too hard - we just would need to make sure that this version is locked down and considered by all to be final, likely with a tag at the top saying "this is the final version, please don't change as translations are now underway" - copy the content to a secondary, no-puns announcement, and substitute some simpler language in place of the cow-related fun. Thoughts? Also, feedback on any other part of the announcement is of course welcome, or you can follow the whole "it's a wiki, be bold" way :) -Robyn

Fedora Magazine license

by Gianluca Sforna

I know Fedora Magazine is still in the design/implementation phase, so maybe content was not yet discussed, but may I safely assume it will be published with something like a CC license? I am asking because the Italian community wanted to publish a magazine but is currently lacking regular contributors so having some material we could translate and use would be a great help. Thanks G. -- Gianluca Sforna http://morefedora.blogspot.com http://identi.ca/giallu - http://twitter.com/giallu

Fedora Magazine Mockup

by Máirín Duffy

Hi folks, The design team has come up with an updated mockup for Fedora Magazine: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/mockups/fedoramag/fedoramag-mockups-2.png Does this look along the lines of what you'll need? Anything missing, or anything extraneous here? Any general feedback / improvement ideas? Once we are set with the mockup we can implement it as a Wordpress theme. Thanks, ~m

Re: Fedora Magazine Mockup

by Ruth Suehle

That's more or less the opensource.com approach, although the library has grown over the years.

I think maybe we can design a set of 4-5 generic art thingys that could be used if an article doesn't have corresponding artwork. Does that seem fair? ~m -- marketing mailing list marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

A generous offer, but in general I would prefer to not depend on externally controlled things like this for Fedora resources. If they would be willing to sign over the domain to us, that would be dandy. ;) kevin _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure

Lending sphericalcow.org domain

by Madeleine Ball

Hi, I own sphericalcow.org, it's an old disused webcomic I used to write. I'd be happy to lend it to Fedora for the duration of the F18 release -- let me know if you're interested? (I'd just switch the DNS servers over to wherever you'd like them to be.) Thanks, Madeleine Ball
