FYI: Scheduled posts (should be) working now
by Patrick Uiterwijk
Hi all,
I also mentioned this on IRC, but thought that for completion's sake, and to not surprise
anyone by stuff suddenly actually working, I would also mention it here: as of earlier "today",
(for some definition of today, probably U.S.), scheduled posts on the magazine should actually
work again, and will verify that it does.
Just a headsup so that people aren't surprised when scheduled posts actually go up without having
to manually hit Publish (like what happened when I fixed it. I think Paul wasn't fond of the surprise,
sorry for fixing it :-) ).
Also, quick reminder: if you see any bugs with Magazine, please file them as tickets at [1] so that
me or croberts (in case of server stuff) or someone else (all other stuff) can take a look.

With kind regards,
Patrick Uiterwijk

network world review
by Matthew Miller
Also covers openSUSE and Ubuntu's latest releases. But I'm gonna cut to
the good stuff:
I'm going to say this as simply as I can: I experienced not one single
issue with Fedora 23. I used it as my primary system for a few days in
a row and never, not once, hit any sort of glitch. It was fast and
stable and I just don't have anything bad to say about it.
[...]
This is, without a doubt, my favorite release of Fedora in many years.
Possibly my favorite release they've ever done. Fast, stable, and great
looking.

More record breaking
by Paul W. Frields
I thought it was worth pointing out that once again we broke more
publishing records thanks to outstanding contributions and
collaboration on Fedora Magazine.
Our week Mon Nov 02 - Sun Nov 08 is now our best week ever -- 121,311
views, versus 106,470 hits the week of Fedora 22 release. Nicely
done, everyone!
Also of note, while October 2015 was one of our top five months ever,
November 2015 is almost ready to overtake it -- and we still have
almost three weeks left to publish! Keep up the good work!

Re: fedora magazine: system-upgrade to F23
by Justin W. Flory
Hey Kamil,
Thanks for the information. I didn't get a chance to update the article
earlier today, but I just added these edits to the article. They should
be visible now.
http://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-from-fedora-22-to-fedora-23/
Let me know if these changes look alright to you. Thanks again for the
pointers.

I have to admit I'm not actually sure whether there are or not some cases where it can make a difference, but I think we should be quite OK without recommending it by default.

[Magazine] Two New Pitches: Planet and Lasers
by Justin W. Flory
Hey all,
Normally I would just wait until the next meeting before putting out
more pitches, but these were both things that I ended up getting drafted
after the meeting ended... anyways, I wanted to get some opinions on
these because they (one in particular) may or may not be something that
is "suitable" for the Magazine, and I wanted to know others' thoughts on
this as well.
Fedora Planet promotion:
http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10753&preview=true
Create your own laser light show with Fedora:
http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10758&preview=true
I think the pitches describe each article pretty well, so I won't
reiterate here. I figure the Fedora Planet article is something that can
be greenlighted, but I was wanting to know if the lasers article would
also be something fitting for the Magazine.
Thanks!

What's New In Fedora 23 KDE Plasma Desktop - Review Request
by Sudhir Khanger
Hello,
Ryan requested a Fedora 23 KDE Plasma Desktop release post for Fedora Magazine
in the fedora-kde mailing list.
I have written an article to the best of my knowledge. Could someone please
look it over? Feel free to make any changes and publish it. Let me know how to
proceed.
There is something wrong with the formatting that I can't seem to figure out.
Visual editor shows there is a newline between KRunner and Firefox sections
but preview isn't showing any space between those two.
I am not sure how to share an unpublished article's link here but you will
find it in 'pending review' section under title 'What's New In Fedora 23 KDE
Plasma Desktop'.

Sudhir Khanger,
