Hello everyone: My name is Pintomatic working on FOSCO Executive Dashboard.
by Cesar Pinto
I am Pintomatic, aka. Cesar Pinto, working with Red Hat in Business
Development and excited to contribute to the Fedora project on this
capacity.
I´ve been involved with EMEA Ambassadors and also on the FOSCO initiative ,
Interested to become work on putting together a dashboard of strategic
metrics to support project leadership and inform decision making, I´ve
heard of some interesting initiatives on progress already (
http://thisweekinfedora.org/), would be great to connect with the team and
see how we could work together.
There is an initiative in question to create an executive dashboard to be
used by FOSCO and to be distributed project-wide to the leadership, by
aggregating information from various places and presenting it in a simple
manner. If some of you are working on this area and can offer some advise
or would like to connect with me for this strategic project that would be
great.
Why FOSCO wants to create an Executive Dashboard?
Visibility: FOSCO Executive Dashboard gives the project great visibility
and insight. We could inform the project leaders exactly what’s going on in
key aspects of the project which will allows for better focus and resource
allocation.
Ongoing Improvements: We have all heard it “if you can’t measure it, you
can’t improve it.” The FOSCO Executive Dashboard will allow us to measure
performance throughout the project and thus improve it.
Performance Against Plan: Making sure the overall project is performing to
a commonly agreed set of expectations is a key priority. The FOSCO
Executive Dashboard could do just that. In theory, we could show how we are
performing against our commonly agreed goals from the agreed plans versus
our actual, real-time results.
Contributor-Level Performance Improvements: When contributors know their
performance is being visible in a dashboard, and can see their results,
they innately start to improve their work.
2 things
I am
seeking input / support
:
- Choosing what metrics to track.
- Building the dashboard.
If anyone would like to connect with me to discuss how to get started on
this. that would be most helpful.
Thanks for support!

Beta F22 Page Created
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
Have started the beta announcement page on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F22_Beta_release_announcement
A keen eye will note a striking resemblance to the F22 alpha announcement.
We probably need to refine the overall "story" for the F22 release now -
the alpha announcement pretty much is a "here's a collection of
features", and by the final announcement we should really have a more
coherent story about F22 and where we're going.
Some things missing from the alpha we should highlight in beta (assuming
readiness):
* base changes in the distro
* Docker image
What are we missing?
Best,
jzb

New Magazine theme
by Ryan Lerch
I have been playing with a new theme for the magazine for a while now,
with the goals of simplyfying reading and browsing, and making the posts
themselves a lot more readable.
http://fedoramagazine-rlerch.rhcloud.com/?p=7004
Note that not all posts have featured thumbs, as I have not added them
all as yet in this mockup, but the idea is that all with have an image
there.
cheers,

Self-Introduction: Mohammad Matini
by Mohammad Matini
Greetings,
My name is Mohammad Matini. I live in Damascus, Syria. My Fedora Account
System user-name is "mohammadmatini", and you can find me on IRC as
"Mohammad-Matini".
I use Fedora everyday, as my main OS. I chose it after around two years
of distro hopping. I liked it's philosophy I guess. It just felt right.
I write things. A lot of things. Mostly for myself. Journals, notes,
stories, etc.
I like writing, so I thought I should write more.
I've been visiting the Fedora Magazine frequently since I started using
the operating system. I thought there has to be some way to contribute
to it. After looking around, I found the Marketing Team.
So I came here.
I'd like to help Fedora by contributing articles to the Fedora Magazine.
Although I'm not exactly sure what I should be writing about. Maybe
software highlights, or instructions about doing something? I think I
could use some help in figuring that out.
I never worked on any serious marketing projects before. This is also
the first time I join a major FOSS project.
Besides writing I have an interest in the visual arts (mainly digital
painting), and programming (currently learning C++).
I'm also into organization and planning.
I already created an account in the magazine's website using my Fedora
Open-ID.
Please direct me to what needs to be done next.
Thank you for your efforts in making Fedora a great operating system.
I'm looking forward to being part of the effort.

Just a quick note to say awesome work! Sometime last week, the Fedora
Magazine surpassed the 1,000,000 pageview milestone (since we started
tracking stats properly in April 2014)
Also, so far this month, March 2015 has been our best month to date,
with 128,600 pageview, just beating December 2014, with 128,580 pageviews.
Keep the awesome content coming!

Turning off List Subscription?
by Joe Brockmeier
Hi all,
For whatever reason, we're seeing a fair number of complaints that
people are being spammed by subscription requests. It looks like there's
some sort of script hitting a number of mailman installations and
sending subscribe requests for a variety of email addresses.
I have no idea what this accomplishes for the person(s) behind the
bot(s) but it's annoying people and AFAIK we don't have a good way of
blocking it.
We could cut this off at the pass by turning off the ability to
subscribe, but that means we'd have to process subscription requests
manually and some folks might not subscribe if they have to jump through
additional hoops. But I don't think the subscription rate is
particularly high for this list - so that may be a minor issue.
Thoughts? I hate to make things more complicated, but I also would like
our list software not be abused.
Best,
jzb
