Fedora Atomic Web site
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
Apologies for all the CC's but this spans a number of areas and I want
to make sure we're touching all the right lists. My main goal is to
reach out to the Websites team, but this also touches on marketing and
(of course) cloud.
As you might know, one of the changes for F23 is the two-week Atomic
release. This means the Fedora Atomic host will be on its own cycle and
not released in the same cadence as Fedora Cloud, Workstation, or Server.
We still want to tout the work we're doing here and make it easy for
folks to use and contribute to. Part of the proposal is to have a
separate "site" (or page) that promotes Atomic specifically - separately
from the Cloud edition.
So - a couple of questions:
- where should this page "live"? Should it be something like
fedoraproject.org/atomic, atomic.fedoraproject.org, or
projectatomic.io/fedora? (Maybe all/some of the above via redirect magic?)
- Do folks on the websites team have time and interest to work on this
in this cycle?
If the answer to the second is "yes" - will any of y'all be at Flock to
discuss in person? If "no" I'd still appreciate feedback on your
thoughts about where said page should "live" -- and any other
considerations that you think are appropriate.
Thanks!

F23 alpha release announcement
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
Checking in on this - I know Gabriele and other folks had done a lot of
work on the talking points and such last week or so - but I don't know
if we have a F23 alpha release draft anywhere.
We're pretty close to the release (10 a.m. Eastern tomorrow) so I had a
mild panic this evening that we may be missing it. Or maybe I missed it
in the flurry of emails.
I can *probably* bang something out tomorrow morning early, but I'll be
getting ready for Flock and would prefer not to duplicate effort.
Best,
jzb

Fedora Magazine URL's marked as spam?
by Momcilo Medic
Hi friends!
I've taken over @FedoraSrbija Twitter account in effort of revitalizing
it.
I was trying to post two different tweets from this and my private
account and both failed with the message:
"This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users
from spam and other malicious activity, we can't complete this action
right now. Please try again later."
Exact wording is as follows. First tweet:
"Problem sa niskom slavinom? Fedora i tu pomaže :) Ukratko o koracima u
3D štampi: http://fedoramagazine.org/3d-printing-in-fedora-from-an-idea
-to-the-thing/"
Translated:
"Troubles with low tap? Fedora can help there as well :) Short overview
of 3D printing steps: http://fedoramagazine.org/3d-printing-in-fedora-f
rom-an-idea-to-the-thing/"
Second tweet:
"Podešavanje raznih #Telegram klijenata u Fedori:
http://fedoramagazine.org/telegram-in-fedora/"
Translated:
"Setting up various #Telegram clients in Fedora:
http://fedoramagazine.org/telegram-in-fedora/"
Is this known issue with Twitter?
Is there anything we can do?
I guess some link obscuring may help, but it doesn't feel right doing
so.

Current role list and workflow reminder
by Paul W. Frields
I was talking to Mr. Managing Editor[1] about reviving the idea of a
management meeting and workflow for posts.
http://fedoramagazine.org/publishing-workflow/
Ryan put this page (unlinked) together to describe the publication
workflow and roles. There are some tools in the WordPress instance
itself to help us maintain a schedule of posts. I think that would
work well with this workflow. There are some other helpful pages
available too, but this one relates to some info below.
To use the workflow effectively, I think it's helpful to have a short
weekly gathering, at a reasonably suitable time, to get people
assigned to edit and schedule posts. If we try for something between
hours of 1200 and 1400 UTC (currently, adjust for daylight time
later), would that work OK for interested folks?
* * *
I wasn't sure people were aware of the current role memberships on the
Magazine, so while I was logged in I decided to take accounting:
* Editor: dustymabe, kushal, roshi
* Author: adamw, amitshah, amsharma, ankursinha, arg, ashutoshbhakare,
Award3535, bckurera, blacksmith, churchyard, cwickert, dwalsh,
eischmann, emichan, gerd, giuseppep, immanetize, inode0, jkurik,
jomoos, jstribny, kinitrupti, kiso49j, krazyabouttechnology,
langdon, mailga, markdude, markllama, mattn, mhayden, phantomhell,
pingou, pravins, rikkiendsley, scollier, siddhesh, sparks, tatica,
tforsman, williamjmorenor
* Administrator: chrisroberts, cydrobolt, duffy, jreznik, jzb, mattdm,
Mitzie, nb, pfrields, randomuser, robyduck, rsuehle, ryanlerch,
sgallagh
Right now the default user role is Subscriber, but promotion to Author
should be widely encouraged for anyone who wants to pitch or draft
something.
There's a Contributor role but it doesn't seem to have much utility
beyond the Author role AFAICT.
The only difference between Editor and Administrator seems to be the
ability to twiddle the WordPress configuration, which should only
needed occasionally. I'd recommend we move all but maybe 5-7
Administrators to the Editor role, being careful to maintain global
coverage with that group. Any Editor can edit and publish stories so
this should have no effect on our ability to move material quickly.

RFC: Magazine post "Fedora 23 screenshot tour"
by Ankur Sinha
Hiya,
So we've been discussing the screenshots and we seem to agree that the
wiki isn't a good place that we should be directing users to. Here's an
alternative plan that I'd like feedback on:
1. Collect all the screenshots we can on the wiki as usual.
2. About release time, have a "Fedora 23 Workstation screenshot tour"
post on the Fedora magazine where we use the best images from the wiki
collection. This post could have a "see other DEs" that links to the
wiki if we manage to get screenshots of KDE and so on. I vaguely recall
wordpress having a gallery plugin (if this is needed at all).
3. getfedora.org has a "Take a screenshot tour link" on the workstation
product page that links to the Fedora magazine post.
The idea being that we show users screenshots, but we don't point them
to the wiki directly since the wiki isn't as posh as getfedora.org or
fedoramagazine. Having a link to the wiki on the fedoramgazine post
also ensures that people are sort of aware of the library. We can even
have say "Feel free to use these screenshots in your posts. They're all
under the CC license".
Comments?
