Hi Joe,

I didn't see this called out in the meeting notes from today (I missed
the meeting, sorry), but we could either:

   nirik a little more time for his OpenVPN piece

Anyone have preferences?



Sorry, I must have missed this one somehow, I don't remember seeing it. 
I think the second option is best here. We can run the Call for 
Contributors article next Friday.

Hi, I finished that new Files article for the Magazine this past
weekend, and it's open for someone to check/edit.  The plan was to
schedule it for Friday 2016-Apr-15 at 0800 UTC.



Kind of late now, but I just had a moment to give it a quick review. 
Everything looks good for tomorrow! This is definitely a cool one for 
some of our users.

I love the idea too.  The only thing I might suggest is holding on to
this until after Beta (during which time anyone can still download
it), but building excitement for GA.

Ha, spoken like a grizzled editor, Justin! :-)  I could go either way,
but I think your rationale here makes a lot of sense.

Hi Joe,

I didn't see this called out in the meeting notes from today (I missed
the meeting, sorry), but we could either:

* run this next Tuesday, in addition to the scheduled articles; or
* run it on Wednesday, push Wednesday's article to Friday, and give
  nirik a little more time for his OpenVPN piece

Anyone have preferences?

So it turned out this worked great, because as the fates would have
it, a family emergency meant I missed this week's meeting.  But we
need a chair for next week (the 21st) for which I have a planned
outage.  Perhaps Ryan could do the honors next week?

Sylvia, I was hoping that you could locate the Cantarell maintainer
and ask about this, to gather some background for the article. If you
don't know who it is, stop by #fedora-workstation, and ask kalev or
mclasen -- let them know stickster sent you. ;-)

You can screenshot the differences on a F23 and a F24 Alpha
(pre-release) Workstation install. I recommend installing both on a
VM, and doing the screenshots inside virt-manager since they should be
at the same resolution that way, in a default environment.  (And it
avoids having to install on any of your other systems.)

 What's wrong with DevAssistant? I'm not defending it, but a reason would
 be helpful.

Following up on this.

I've started a "Why Foss?" talking points page here:

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

See the "Business Reasons" section to add ideas, please.

Also, a general section for non-release related talking points:

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

Help welcome!

Best,

I'm CC'ing the marketing list here because the marketing list is where
talking points usually should originate. (In collaboration with
Ambassadors.)

AFAIK, we've not written up any talking points on the general goodness
of open source for this kind of purpose. But, we *should* because it'd
be a really good idea for ambassadors to spend more time talking to
audiences we haven't reached vs. audiences we have already reached.

I will send a second email with some general ideas, and start a page on
the wiki...

Best,

jzb

[Marketing] Display modes on Fedoramagazine

[František Zatloukal]

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I have implemented switching to vertical mode
(one article per line) on *mojefedora.cz*  as lot of
our users requested it when we deployed new theme.

I thought this feature might be useful even for Fedoramagazine readers.
Switching is done with jQuery and cookies. In first release switching
worked without page refresh (modifying css through jQuery.css) but
switching from vertical to horizontal view haven't worked reliably. So when
user clicks on switcher it creates a cookie and reloads entire page (with
or without additional css).

What do you think?

Comment (by churchyard):

 You write Pip with capital letter, pypy all lower case, Python sometimes
 as Python and sometimes as python :(

 Please do not promote DevAssistant in there.

 "Ansible, OpenStack, and PiTiVi are all built with Python." - that cool,
 but how doea sthe reader relate those things to Fedora?
