So let's say, for the sake of argument, that we fold news.fp.o in as a

Is that something you might be interested in?
How do you mean a sub-brand?
I don't know if you saw when I put forward my vision for what I'd like
a news.fp.o to look like, but I'd like to try and get content up 3-5
times a week, and I think by building from existing content that
already gets created, we can probably fill this quite easily. I don't
know if that's more content than you had in mind for a 'sub-brand'.
My other worry is that I'd hoped to use news.fp.o as a central
location for promoting our various marketing initiatives, and
promoting the Fedora brand. Maybe it's just me, but having a Fedora
tag under RHM seems like it might weaken that mission a little, making
Fedora feel even more like a Red Hat sub project than a stand alone
project in its own right - but maybe that's just me being silly.
This is a fair point, and one I think it's right to be concerned about.
It's a set of tradeoffs, I think.
I appreciate the benefits this would also provide us with, though.
Being able to work with the professionals at RHM would be a really
fantastic resource, and by using existing infrastructure probably save
Bret a whole lot of headaches!
So what if we could get separate branding for news.fp.o, running on the
same infrastructure? I'm not sure whether that would help Bret or not...
Could Red Hat Magazine's infrastructure handle the posting of the
articles, but maybe redhatmagazine.com by default wouldn't show fedora
tagged articles, and a news.fpo site could simply be a template that
takes the redhatmagazine.com/feed.rss?tag=fedora (or whatever, something
like that) RSS feed from RHM's infrastructure and posts it to news.fpo?
