Joining the Marketing Team
by Ryan Gauger
Hello,
I'm Ryan, and I would like to write for the Fedora Magazine if possible. I am 15 years old, but I'm extremely into the Fedora Project. I /at least/ think I am pretty good with writing and grammar. I was told to join this list instead of the magazine contributors ml. How can I start writing, and then get approved for the list (I've already applied on FAS).
Btw, I'm the public relations manager for Nashville Notes Homeschool Band, the homeschool band of the southeast (United States, that is), and I've got a blog: nashvillenotesblog.blogspot.com
My wiki page on the Fedora Project: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rtgkid
Thanks!!!

[hughsient@gmail.com: The final push for the application installer in Fedora 20]
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
This is probably something marketing folks could help with if they were
so inclined. I also will do a short post on Fedora Magazine today about
this. It's a great "hey, I use Fedora and can contribute with a very low
barrier of entry" type thing.

From: Richard Hughes <hughsient(a)gmail.com>
To: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>
Subject: The final push for the application installer in Fedora 20
In GNOME Software, we show a list of applications for each category
that we think are frikin’ awesome. Some have AppData[1], and some
don’t. For the ones that don’t yet have AppData it leaves the
responsibility of writing the long description to the Linux community,
where we can push the data back to upstream so that all the
distributions can benefit. So far we’ve had a superb reaction from
lots of upstream projects and a lot of descriptions have been merged.
For Fedora 20 we want all the awesome apps to have AppData, so users
can evaluate the application before installing it. It would add a
really nice bit of polish to the whole experience. If you can spare 5
minutes and want to help.
I’ve got another shared document that just needs a few details for
each application:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzJKpbiGX1zdElaYUoxcXRxeVRV...
The list of awesome-but-unloved apps is: audacity, ardour2,
gnome-banshee, rosegarden, sound-juicer, doom, openarena, xonotic,
tremulous, btanks, frozen-bubble, quadrapassel, neverball, gnomine,
wesnoth, supertuxkart, redeclipse, lyx, gparted, virt-manager,
eclipse, gitg, monodevelop, blender, shotwell, octave, saoimage,
workrave, celestia, polari, pidgin, chromium, pitivi, vlc and
openshot.
If you want to add any other apps there, please feel free, although I
would much prefer the AppData file to go upstream if you’re a
contributor or maintainer of a project. Remember, we can’t feature
applications on the front page that don’t have AppData, so that’s an
added incentive. I’d love to expose more people to blender for
instance.
There’s no way I can do all this myself for Fedora 20, so I really
need your help. Again. Thanks.
Richard

Re: Joining the Marketing Team
by Chris Collings
Hi Joe,
I am new to fedora and am really excited about the sense of community here. I am keen to join in as quickly as possible and share the knowledge fedora users have been kind enough to share with me.
I would be happy to create a sop for contributions to the magazine. I may need to seek some information from the leaders here, however I can start within the next couple of days.
Cheers
Chris

Hey Ryan,
The magazine contributors group you found on FAS, hasn't been made for this purpose. However feel free to add yourself to the potential contributors list and move yourself to active Magazine Contributors once you have prooven magazine contribution[1]
Also check the wiki page of the Magazine for more info[2]
Kind Regards,
Zacharias Mitzelos

Sorry, I didn't clarify: I would like to join the Magazine Contributors Group, not the Marketing Team. :)

"Posted On" in Fedora Magazine Template
by Joe Brockmeier
Hi all,
Who'd be the right person to change the template for Fedora Magazine? If
you look at the front page, all the stories have datelines like "Posted
on 1 day ago" or "Posted on 3 days ago".
The grammar is a bit off, there. It should be "Posted 1 day ago" or
"posted 3 days ago" not "on days ago."
Can we get that changed? Or, better yet, just have the date something
was posted? (e.g. "Posted 24 September 2013")
Best,
jzb
