New Contributor for Fedora Magazine
by computerandu＠gmail.com
Hi there,
I just read that Fedora Magazine is looking for contributors and I would like to take up this opportunity to introduce myself.
I am Abhishek Prakash, a software developer with over 5 years of experience. I use Linux as my main desktop at home. I mainly use Ubuntu but I keep on trying new distros. I have used Fedora as well, so don't think of me as an outsider :)
If you want to assess my writing skills, you can read my articles at my blog It's FOSS (http://itsfoss.com/).
As a desktop user, I'll mainly focus on desktop related articles, how-to, tips and list articles.
I look forward to join the team.

OVS and Libvirt Bridges Article
by Matt Harwood
Hi all!
Following tonight's Magazine meeting, I wanted to reach out to Ashutosh
and anyone else working on the OVS and Libvirt Bridges article:
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=12840&preview=true
It's been in the drafts for a little while and we wanted to see if there
was anything anyone needs to help move it along a little - I can help
with any editing/formatting if that would be useful. Ashutosh has made a
great start by the looks of it!
Many thanks in advance,
Matt

Israel Pineda [New Contributor for Fedora Magazine]
by Israel Pineda
Hi Fedora Magazine,
I read that Fedora Magazine is looking for contributors and I would like to introduce myself.
I am Israel Pineda. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student of Computer Science. Previously I got my master and my bachelor degrees in the same field. Between my bachelor and my master degree, I went to industry to work as a software developer for almost five years also getting some experience with system administration.
I have been working with Linux for around 10 years, around five years ago I became a full-time Fedora guy and I use it as my main (and only) OS for my desktop and laptops. I also have done a thing or two with CentOS and in the past I have used other Linux distributions.
Lastly, I've been busy writing scientific papers for conferences and journals. I would like to showcase the usage of Fedora as a platform for science; an operating system where you can carry out your experiments, your data analysis, your publishing, etc. The idea I have right now is to document in an article the process of writing a thesis using Fedora. There are many hurdles during the thesis writing period and I think that and article in that topic might motivate many students and give some light at the end of the tunnel.
Looking forward to your comments.

by Matthew Ames
Hi,
My name is Matthew Ames, and I have just read on Fedora Magazine that you're looking for help with articles, specifically from Power Users and Developers. I am a system admin by trade, and have solely been using Linux since 2008, and Fedora specifically from 2015, starting with Fedora 22, though I have much past experience with Red Hat and CentOS too.
I have always been looking for ways which I can help to give back to the community, and I try to do a little writing over at https://matty.digital/. If I can help in any way, I would certainly like to offer some articles.
My area of expertise is mostly in web hosting, and I'm doing a lot of work these days in docker, lxc and gnome-boxes, though with the job I do, I often pick up other skills along the way.
Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Matthew.

21:09:22)
* "Create the release announcement for Fedora 24" (jflory7, 21:09:27)
* IDEA: Fork the GA F23 wiki page now if we haven't already (decause,
21:10:12)
* LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F24_release_announcement
(jflory7, 21:11:56)
* IDEA: One way to make this release announcement more unique is by
telling the story from how F24 started. There could be a brief
introduction / "Thoughts from the FPL" to open it. Other engineers,
like FESCo, could maybe add statements about F24 to the
announcement. (jflory7, 21:16:29)
* IDEA: For the final announcement, we can omit the "full" technical
details and point to the release notes via the Docs Team for what
has changed, what's new, and anyone who is looking for the raw
differences between the release (jflory7, 21:21:40)
* LINK: https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-23-released/ (jzb,

* ACTION: jzb Post to the Marketing mailing list to get some more eyes
on this ticket and the F24 story (jflory7, 21:35:26)
* === Ticket #222 === (jflory7, 21:36:46)
* LINK: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/222 (jflory7,
21:36:51)
* "Publicizing "Fedora affiliates" (or groups using Fedora)"
(jflory7, 21:36:55)
* IDEA: Having this as a shared responsibility between Marketing and
Ambassadors might be a good idea (jflory7, 21:45:06)
* IDEA: A potential affiliate could get in touch with an Ambassador
(or vice versa) and the Ambassador can come to Marketing with the
affiliate request (jflory7, 21:48:50)
* IDEA: An individual in Marketing / Ambassadors can "sponsor" a
request based on previous relationships (example used in meeting is
jflory7 with Rochester Institute of Technology in NYS (as a
student), or similar type of idea) (jflory7, 21:49:35)
* ACTION: jflory7 Update ticket #222 with ideas from meeting
(jflory7, 21:50:47)

* ACTION: mailga Send a mail to the Marketing list 2016-05-26 about

21:53:39)
* AGREED: mailga's email will mention that this nomination is for a
future seat, that +1/-1s are needed, and ask for other
self-nominations (jflory7, 21:57:17)
* === Ticket #226 === (jflory7, 21:57:48)
* LINK: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/226 (jflory7,
21:57:53)
* "Screenshots for Fedora 24" (jflory7, 21:57:56)
* IDEA: cprofitt might be able to assist with gathering some
screenshots. (jflory7, 22:01:45)
* IDEA: The Ambassadors might be willing to assist with gathering more
screenshots too. (jflory7, 22:02:04)
* IDEA: For screenshots, use common features and make screenshots with
their features for each environment. Sometimes small changes are
visible between releases. (jflory7, 22:02:30)
* Upcoming Tasks (jflory7, 22:03:35)
