[Marketing] New post about vagrant-sshfs

[Dusty Mabe]

Hi all,

I wrote a new post about vagrant-sshfs and submitted it as a pitch on the 
Fedora Magazine admin interface.

Can you please review it? I ask that you send any edits to me and I'll make 
them. Once that is done we can
publish :) 

Thanks,
Dusty

#210: Magazine Categories - Reorganization?

Comment (by pfrields):

 I had some thoughts on the categories. I like the majority of the
 suggestions, but I also believe Ryan as editor in chief will need to make
 the final call. Here's my proposal with slight changes:
 * capture CTA posts into Contributor Community
 * subsume HDYF into Interviews (although the series can keep its name in
 titles, just like other series)
 * eliminate comedy posts -- we can't judge how it will come off with all
 audiences, and we don't have enough articles for monotony to be an issue,
 so this is a solution in search of a problem

 == Proposed Categories, rev. 3 ==
 * '''5 Things in Fedora This Week''' (no change)
 * '''(Fedora) Contributor Community'''
  * Articles about "the happenings" across the Fedora Project that are of
 interest to the entire Fedora user community (wider audience than
 CommBlog?)
* Example: ''We're making Fedora more modular''
  * Articles relating to "calls of action" or other types of post about
 specific topics from deep inside Fedora
* Example: ''Fedora Marketing is not a spectator sport''
 * '''Events'''
  * Anything pertaining to events or real world happenings with Fedora
 (good place for Ambassadors to be engaged too…)
 * '''Hot off the press! / New in Fedora'''
  * Either name, depending on how serious we want to keep things. :)
  * For breaking news about major changes or updates about changes that
 directly impact users
 * '''Interviews'''
  * Distinctly different from How do you Fedora
  * Can contain any type of interview
* Example: ''Creating laser light shows with Fedora''
  * Includes '''How do you Fedora'''
* requires renaming existing category, can be done in the SQL trivially
 if not in the WP UI
 * '''Using software'''
  * Slug: /software
  * For how-tos / guides / walkthroughs of using software in Fedora
 * '''Using hardware'''
  * Slug: /hardware
  * For how-tos / guides / walkthroughs of using software with Fedora

 stickster / ryanlerch are the best people to make this call and weren't at
 the meeting. I'm going to follow up with one of them privately to work on
 the new categories.

Hello everyone.

As per last night's meeting, I'm jumping in on this ticket. Just wanted
to touch base with those currently working on this to get a sense of
where things are and what I can do to help.

Thanks!

James



Hi James! Thanks for coming out to the meeting on Wednesday.

In terms of this ticket, I think the place we're at now is really coming 
up with a list of steps or ideas about how an organization could apply 
to be an "affiliate" or "friend" of Fedora.


In the meeting, we decided a good place to put this for now would be on 
this page.


https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Affiliates_SOP

For the task, I would consider the kind of things we as Fedora would 
want to highlight and show that organizations, schools, companies, or 
other groups are doing and using Fedora for.


Perhaps for a school… do you offer any courses that use Fedora? How has 
using Fedora and open source software impacted your students? What have 
your students produced using Fedora?


Things along those lines. I would approach this like a questionnaire of 
sorts that an organization would fill out. It doesn't have to be perfect 
right now, but having an initial list of steps or things to consider is 
a good place to start and build off of!


Hope this helps clarify. Let us know if you have further questions!

March.  In fact, highest since November 2015 (release of F23) and
almost as many as May 2015 (release of F22).

One notable is the first half of the month had substantially more hits
than the second half.  Here was our publishing:

I would guess that the DROWN article (high visibility) and
installation took the cake here.  So one thing we might think about is
steering more articles into the publishing runway that are timely, or
show people how to install and use cool things.  But regardless, all
month was pretty strong, and we are on a positive trend!



This is an awesome retrospective – thanks for sharing, Paul! Seems like 
the hot topic sort of articles tend to do pretty well. I'll stay alert 
for any interesting topics that come across my radar.


Thanks again for putting this together!

For some reason the auto-posting didn't work.  I'll work with Patrick
to find out and see if it can be fixed.

See, this was funny. :-)

Just to close... for a good argument against April Fools jokes,
q.v. recent Gmail dust-up.

Yup, I'm cool with leaving the jokes out of business & technology.  If
we want PR, let's get it for something useful and valuable.

[Marketing] [Magazine] March stats

Great news: March 2016 stats were an awesome rebound from February --
where we had a shorter month as well as a bunch of outages due to
events.

Page views: +32% to 185,199 -- more than either January, February, or
