Self Introduction - Swapnil Kulkarni
by Swapnil Kulkarni
Hello,
My Name is Swapnil Kulkarni and I live in India (GMT +5.30) My Fedora
Account System (FAS) username and my IRC nick is coolsvap.
I learned about the Fedora Marketing team through [1] and I am interested
because I like and support FOSS.
I am an active contributor in OpenStack community for more than 1.5 yrs now.
This is the first Marketing project I will be working on!
My skills, which I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing, include, people
connect, posting/following right channels for increased viewership.
When I'm not working on Fedora, I am a Senior Software Engineer at Redhat.
A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are increased visibility to
students in Indian universities/colleges. I am sure there would be some
group working on it. Would like to get involved.
Please help me get started!

Using contributor images in posts
by Ankur Sinha
Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a couple of posts about FUDCon Beijing for
the magazine. I plan to do a couple of short interviews with the
organizers and other Fedora community members that are flying in to
attend the event. I was hoping to ask them for an image, maybe avatar or
hackergotchi to include in the posts. Do I need to get them to provide
some sort of legal document to use these images in posts? Do we have a
guideline in place for this?

Fedora.cz articles for Fedora Magazine
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
Brno office of Red Hat and the Czech community of Fedora has been
running fedora.cz for several years already. We've published quite a few
interesting articles there and many of them are directly from Fedora
developers. You can see the list here: http://fedora.cz/rubrika/clanky/
(Google Translate might come handy).
They're all in Czech, but if you find any of them interesting enough for
the magazine I can ask our content guys to translate them to English.

Ideas for series of posts on Fedora Magazine!
by Ryan Lerch
Recently, i have been trying to post a little more to Fedora Magazine,
and it has got me thinking. Are there any more "Post Series" that we can do
on a regular- or semi-regular basis? Matt has the awesome, on-going
5 Things in Fedora this Week series.
Here are a few i have come up with:
# $x of the best $application_type in Fedora
I have already posted an example of this to the Fedora magazine[1],
profiling some of the twitter clients that are available.
Other ideas for $application_type could be:
* Music Library / Playing (GNOME Music, Banshee, Rhythmbox, etc)
* Email Clients
* Libre Graphics Tools (GIMP, Inkscape, etc)
# How do you Fedora?
A interview / profile of sorts of Fedora Users, highlighting who
they are, what they do, and how they use Fedora to do it.
# Recent Updates
When we release updates to Fedora (this happens roughly weekly)
have a blog post that picks a few end-user applications that
were updated, explain what they do, and what the update is for.
I kinda did this here[2] for the Firefox 29 update that went out.
Does anyone else have any other ideas for post series?
cheers,
ryanlerch

Stage / Development version of fedora magazine
by Ryan Lerch
Is there any way to set up a staging / development version of Fedora
Magazine?
I am keen to hack on the theme, but I cant really hack directly on the
live one :)
