#210: Magazine Categories - Reorganization?

Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: chrisroberts

Component: Fedora Magazine | Severity: not-urgent

-----------------------------+------------------------------
It was mentioned in #fedora-mktg today about proposing changes to the
Magazine categories to something a bit more intuitive to readers. With the
advent of the Community Blog, the category of "For contributors" isn't as
useful, and as-is right now, the categories are fairly broad and loosely
defined.
We were wanting to discuss ideas for new, relevant categories that more
accurately target the type of material we're putting out. Ideas mentioned
were…
- Fedora News
- How-To
- Events
And so on. What are your thoughts and ideas on new categories?

F24 Beta Release Notes (coming next week)
by Justin W. Flory
Hello all,
Before going further, please note this is a cross-posted thread! There
is a low-traffic mailing list, logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, which
was created for multi-list collaboration on things like this topic. To
centralize discussion, please consider using that list for replies (even
if you unsubscribe after the discussion finishes).
Anyways, assuming all goes according to plan, the F24 Beta is due to
land on May 3rd, or in seven days from today. Therefore, it's time to
review and look over the release notes for the F24 Beta. The current
draft can be found on the wiki.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F24_Beta_release_announcement
As of now, it is a forked version of the Alpha release announcement with
a few changes based on information I gathered from #fedora-qa. If you
could take some time to review the release notes and ensure everything
is *current* and correct since the Alpha release for areas you are
familiar and knowledgeable with, that would be appreciated so we can aim
to ship this next week.
Thanks all!

Hed: Retiring 32-bit Cloud Images
Body: The Fedora Cloud Working Group has decided to retire the 32-bit
Cloud images. As of the __ release, we will no longer produce the 32-bit
images. We will, of course, continue to make 64-bit cloud images available.
Why are we doing this? We've been producing 32-bit images for years, and
it's a solved problem, right? Surely it's as easy as "just keep doing
it," right?
Not so much. There are several reasons we're retiring them. First and
foremost, our data suggests that 32-bit images are not that popular.
That doesn't mean *no one* uses 32-bit images, but the user community
for 32-bit only seems to be passingly small.
The second reason is that 32-bit packages and images require their own
testing. If it was as simple as a little bit of CPU time and disk space
to produce images, we'd just keep doing it until the number of users hit
zero. But it has a human cost in terms of time and opportunity lost
doing one thing when we could do another. So we've chosen to focus on
64-bit images, working on making Atomic Host more awesome, and other work.
If you have questions, feel free to ask in #fedora-cloud on Freenode, or
ask on cloud(a)lists.fedoraproject.org.

Thoughts?
Best,
