Fwd: [Fedora Women] Women in Computing and Fedora - CommBlog article
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all,
Below is a recently published article on the Community Blog about women
in computing and Fedora's history and current activities involving outreach.
I think is something that should definitely be shared to all Fedora
social media pages. I'm not sure on what the policy on Red Hat social
media is, but I could also see this being something great to put out on
one of the other Red Hat accounts too.
Feel free to share this around too, I think this is a great summary of
the work being done in Fedora to improve diversity and increase
outreach. Thanks all!

Hello all,
jflory7 and I have recently published an article about Women in
Computing and Fedora on Community Blog. Do take a look at it :
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/women-in-computing-and-fedora/
It talks about :
*Diversity efforts in Fedora
*Anisha Narang's Grace Hopper experience
*Women's involvement in Fedora
*New opportunities for women like Outreachy
*Snippet of an interview with Fedora Diversity Adviser, Maria "tatica"
Leandro detailing her inputs on the current diversity situation in
Fedora as well as her goals and vision as Diversity Adviser.(A full
interview is scheduled for later)
*Call for Action - How can you help ?
Looking forward to knowing your inputs,

Banner and design series

I'm making the banner but I don't know which are the proportions. Is
there any recommended size?
Once I know that I'll make the banner and post the first article tomorrow.

[Magazine] "Installing Fedora for Dummies" article
by Justin W. Flory
Hi Bryan,
This is a follow-up in regards to the "Installing Fedora for Dummies"
article that you currently have as a pitch in the Magazine.
We discussed the pitch in our meeting tonight, and after some
discussion, we decided that with the extensive documentation written by
the Docs Team and how regularly updated it is, it may be a better idea
to reframe this article as a pointer for where to find the most current
information for installing Fedora, and then linking to the Docs page.
The reason why we think this would be the best thing to do is that we
would have to keep the responsibility of updating the article each
release (which could be forgotten) and it might send an accidental
message to readers who turn to the Magazine for help when the Docs Team
spends a good portion of their time helping make the entire installation
process as "easy" as possible.
Let us know if you're still interested in writing this, and if so, do
you have a rough idea of when you could have this drafted? Thanks for
your participation with the Magazine!
