Fedora Magazine Quick Downtime Sunday

[Chris Roberts]

Hi Everyone,

I am sending out an update since were getting 503 errors here and there and 
also since we are still getting the you are typing to fast error due to the 
load balancer. I am going to reapply that patch that got lost when the theme 
changed, clean up the database, and fix the rss feed button issue. After this 
change is applied, the instance has to be restarted for the changes to take 
affect. I also want to get this applied before Flock since we anticipate more 
traffic to the site. The site will be down no more than 10 minutes and will 
brought down in the early am (2-3 am)

Thanks,

Chris Roberts

Why: Clean up db, fix 503 errors and typing to fast, correct rss feed button, 
and update jetpack (requires a restart)
When: 2-3 AM EST Sunday 8-3-14
Who is affected: Everyone 
ETA on Downtime : 10-15 Minutes (Full backup of site incase something goes 
wrong)

Ah! I'll try to post once a week under "Friday fun" then. It gives me a
few days to try each game out.

I think a brief style guide is a good idea. We could include it on an expanded 
"write for us" page (http://fedoramagazine.org/submit-an-idea-or-tip/) that 
includes a few editorial guidelines (what kind of articles are best for Fedora 
Magazine, who is the audience, who are the people to contact if you have 
questions, etc.). Here's an example: 
http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/About-Us/Write-for-Us

Sentence case for titles is probably the easiest way to go. I think it also 
looks better in a tweet if readers click the article tweet button.

One item to cover on this would definitely be how to capitalize the 
titles of our posts. Having this consistent is always a good thing.


For the capitialization of posts, my vote is for sentence case. This 
tends to be the most popular currently in online publications [1], 
[2]. and in my honest opinion, it is not as harsh and shouty as the 
alternative title case. Title case is also a lot harder to get 
consistent, as many people have different ideas of what to capitalise.


For example, the sentence case is simple, capitalize the first word, 
and any proper nouns:
Fedora 21 will feature "Solarized" color schemes in both the Terminal 
and Gedit


and the title case (depending on who is writing it) could be:
Fedora 21 will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal

or
Fedora 21 Will Feature "Solarized" Color Schemes in Both The Terminal

Fogot to add that i have also been not following my own personal 
sentence case rules lately in my rush to get posts out, but just went 
through and fixed them up.

Willing to join Fedora Magazine team

[Madhurjya Roy]

Hello,

I'm a 17 year old student looking forward to contribute to the Fedora magazine.

A brief introduction of myself -

I'm a high school student from India. Though I've been using Linux for
just two years, I think I've gained considerable knowledge on Linux
and Fedora. I've used Debian and Fedora for a year each and also
tested various other distros like Ubuntu, Kali, DSL, Open Suse and
SuperX OS (which is a distro created by some of my acquaintances). I'm
greatly inspired by Open Source Softwares, the FSF and GNU/linux based
OS. Fedora is my favorite distro, I really like the combination of
simplicity/cutting edge system it provides in a beautiful and
productive environment! After coming to know about the Fedora project
in detail, I am, now deeply interested to contribute and have decided
that the magazine is a good way to start!

I therefore, request your approval and guidance to be a contributor to
the Fedora magazine.

Thank You.

Fedora.Next draft for trifold.

[Gabriele Trombini (mailga)]

Hello,

I've created a draft explaining fedora.next to be includde in a trifold for 
mktg use.

Can someone, take a look to the attached text and rectify what 
seems wrong/incomplete?

I'll study a layout afterwards, when the text will be decided.

GabrieleFEDORA PROJECT BASES

-Mission: lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as 
a collaborative community: 
  - always striving to lead, not follow;
  - consistently seeking to create, improve, and spread free/libre code and 
content;
  - succeeding through shared action on the part of many people throughout our 
community. 

FOUR FUNDATIONS
 
“Freedom, Friends, Features, First”

The four foundations are the core values of the Fedora community.

HOW MISSION AND FOUR FOUNDATIONS JOIN FEDORA.NEXT

  - give a positive voice for people with diverse requirements;
  - invite contributions even when they're not perfect, allowing software into 
Fedora even with rough edges, and improving from there;
  - focusing more on packages where it really matters that they’re packaged 
well, making them as useful as possible to people;
  - moving fast while still keeping a handle on the direction we’re going, 
balancing innovation with change management;
  - making easier to have projects that work on Fedora without necessarily 
being in the distribution proper.

WHAT IS FEDORA.NEXT

"Fedora.Next" is the word which sets the next plannings of the Fedora project. 
This consists in shipping "bricks" for general purposes, without gluing 
together. People can build other things and/or re-assemble the ones shipped 
into something else, although it should be clear, if done, that it's no longer 
the official set.
People can share creations and maybe even make new sets.
This is performed by the working groups that also manage many of the technical 
decisions, making them set up for growth.

FEDORA.NEXT WORKING GROUPS

- Base:

This is the common base on which the Fedora OS products will be built. Language 
stacks and environments will be able to assume that this is available and 
consistent across all of Fedora, and that change will be carefully managed.

The Fedora.next proposal suggests that this should exist, but leaves open 
exactly what it will look like. This group will create a reference document 
that answers that question, and work on the practical infrastructure for 
building this as a subset of Fedora. 

- Environment & Software Stacks

These are also policies development for software. New guidelines for how 
software may be included under the Fedora umbrella without necessarily 
conforming. 
Fedora.Next allows disruptive innovation without disrupting what works in 
Fedora now. At first, work will be concerned with more conservative approaches 
like the first generation Software Collections (which may fit in with only 
minor exceptions to the current packaging guidelines), this is also the place 
to explore and solve issues like container composition and updates. 

- Product Working Groups
The first responsibility of each working group will be to establish a 
governance charter.Then, the first required deliverable for each group will be 
a Product Requirements Document. This will include a statement of target 
audience and the role the product is intended to fill in the Fedora ecosystem. 
This document will be presented to the Board for ratification.The second 
deliverable should be a list of necessary changes from existing Fedora 
procedures needed to release the product. This should be ordered to show what 
things depend on other changes and at which point the changes will mean that we 
can no longer produce the current type of Fedora. This will allow us to 
identify the resources needed by what teams in order to implement the plan and 
at what point we may need to have a longer than normal release cycle to do 
tooling work. The last deliverable is to actually start producing the Fedora 
Products listed below. 
 
WORKING GROUPS RECAP

- Base Design Working Group

- Environments & Software Stacks Working Group 

- Product Working Groups
  - Fedora Workstation (aims: create a reliable, user-friendly and powerful 
operating system for laptops and PC hardware. The system will primarily be 
aimed at providing a platform for development of server side and client 
applications that is attractive to a range of developers - from hobbyists and 
students to developers working in corporate environments); 
  - Fedora Server (aims: common base platform with 'featured application 
stacks' built on top of it. It commits to produce, test, and distribute these 
application stacks);
  - Fedora Cloud (aims: responsible for initial and ongoing development of the 
Product Requirements Document, and for coordinating production of the Fedora 
Cloud operating system);

FUTURE IN FEDORA.NEXT

Automation everywhere: 
  - automated testing;
  - agile release engineering;
  - improving communications across platforms and areas;
  - making available in a easier way the
