Howdy everyone, We're getting close to F18 (*knocks on wood*) release and in the past we've done feature profiles to cover some of the main highlighted features from each release. This usually is a two-part (at least) process, when doing one: 1: Do an interview with someone on a feature / someone(s) on a group of related features. Interview can be by email, podcast, IRC chat, anything that can basically be captured for anyone to read/hear/watch back. 2: Taking some content from that interview, cobbling it into more of a "story"/article format, which we can then publish to either/both of Fedora Magazine / Red Hat press blog / your blog / etc. A few examples interviews from the past: BoxGrinder: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BoxGrinder_in_F15 Fedora on EC2: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_on_EC2 Desktop Enhancements in Fedora 12: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop_Enhancements_in_Fedora_12 I put together a suggested list of potential interviews/features on the wiki - we can always combine some, think about adding other features / other types of stories (ex: "How our QA team is totally awesome and you should hug them for F18"), etc. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_feature_profiles SOP and current FeatureList are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_profiles_SOP https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList Also: Having screenshots attached to an interview - and the final story - is always awesome. Heck, having a repository of screenshots, period, is really helpful just from a "help out the press" type of way. Have we started working that for F18? (Or has anyone?) Anyway..... ON TO THE SUGGESTIONS! Feedback welcome. Claim your fun interview on this list. And add your name on the wiki. And ask questions! I've done many of these, but realize most others haven't. :) I've attached names for a few people who would be good interview subjects - you should be able to find most of them in FAS in terms of email address.
