Self introduction - fale

[Fabio Alessandro Locati]

Hi,
I'm fale, a Fedora user, ambassador and packager.
You can find basic information about me on my Wiki page [0], so I'll not
repeat those.

I'd like to help out more in the marketing side, because when I'm out
there as an ambassador, I often find myself to think that the
communication is not always clear due to some inconsistencies that are
present in the documentation, wiki, websites of the project itself.
Therefore I'd like to help out addressing those issues.
Another thing that I noticed is that sometimes people make comparison
between Fedora and other distro/OS based on what they read on their
favourite blogs/twitter/planet and solely based on those thing they make
their idea about the quantity of available software as well as it's
quality. For this reason I'd also like to help out speaking (like on the
Magazine) about some packages I'm taking care of.

For those reasons, I'd like to help out the Marketing team.
The first things I'd like to do are:

- clean up/sort/order the outreach wiki pages that are pretty messy
  (I've seen that the Italian community has tens of pages that are
  completely outdated laying around)
- an article about AWS CLI and boto3 that just arrived to Fedora (I'm
  working toward bringing those to EL too)
- an article about NSD4 that is in testing right now

I hope to be able to help out a lot,
Best regards,
Fabio A Locati

I think it's great that you're deciding to get involved with Marketing 
in addition to those areas. You bring a unique perspective both as 
someone active in the code of Fedora and also in the field as an 
Ambassador. Having this additional perspectives can help add to your 
contributions in Marketing. :)

Wiki gardening has been a hot topic lately, and it's something that the 
Fedora Community Operations (CommOps) team is helping handle and 
improve. Specifically on the topic of Outreach, this is an area that 
we've been working closely with, especially with Fedora's recent 
involvement with the Outreachy program.


I recommend that you also check out the CommOps team too and see what's 
going on over there. You may find that there are things that you may be 
able to help with there too. :)

That's awesome that you're looking to contribute to the Magazine! There 
are a few resources in place that will help you get started writing.


Firstly, read this page about the writing process for the Magazine and 
the different stages of articles. Everything starts off as a pitch, and 
to help prevent wasted time, your article "idea" starts as a pitch, then 
becomes a draft, and then will be ready for editing and review before 
final publishing.


https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/

Writing a good pitch is also helpful not only to help clarify your idea, 
but it's also a good time for you to plan out a rough outline of what 
you want to write about. See this page about writing a good pitch.

I hope to be able to help out a lot,
Best regards,

GnuPG Article Ready for Review

[charles profitt]

https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11485_id=11485=true

I took the entire text and tested it for the readability after taking
out the gpg signature and encrypted sentence. These were the results:

Readability Indices
Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease 58.9    
Flesch Kincaid Grade Level  9.1 
Gunning Fog Score   11.2    
SMOG Index  8.8 
Coleman Liau Index  11.7    
Automated Readability Index 8.7 
Text Statistics
No. of sentences    31  
No. of words    504 
No. of complex words    70  
Percent of complex words    13.89%  
Average words per sentence  16.26   
Average syllables per word  1.55    

The score on the magazine is affected by the encrypted sentence and
signature.

I find this article very good, very clear and understandable.  Even to
me that I never paid attention to GPG.

What was the problem?

Yes, it is still needed. I haven't had time to work on it. I use
Evolution and Geary, so I can get screenshots of those. Claws Mail,
Kmail, Alpine, and Mutt still wanted. I would really prefer Adwaita
theme for the screenshots so that they all look consistent.

OK, let me work on it.

The Fedora Project Ambassadors should "just focus on the strengths of
Fedora" [1] instead of get challenges against  other distros.

[Social Media] Community Operations - Year in Review

[Justin W. Flory]

Hello all,

Today, the Community Operations (CommOps) team published our 2015 "Year 
in Review" article. It would be great to get each sub-project's "Year in 
Review" article out on social media as they are published, and this 
should helpfully raise awareness and encourage sub-projects to write 
their own.


https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/commops-year-in-review/

I also noticed that some social media pages (e.g. Google+) shared the 
original Magazine article explaining what the "Year in Review" articles 
were all about. It would also be helpful to share this out on the social 
media accounts that have not already published it before the individual 
Year in Reviews.


https://fedoramagazine.org/what-is-a-fedora-year-in-review/

Thanks all!
