[Marketing] Israel Pineda [New Contributor for Fedora Magazine]

[Israel Pineda]

Hi Fedora Magazine,

I read that Fedora Magazine is looking for contributors and I would like to 
introduce myself.

I am Israel Pineda. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student of Computer Science. 
Previously I got my master and my bachelor degrees in the same field. Between 
my bachelor and my master degree, I went to industry to work as a software 
developer for almost five years also getting some experience with system 
administration.

I have been working with Linux for around 10 years, around five years ago I 
became a full-time Fedora guy and I use it as my main (and only) OS for my 
desktop and laptops. I also have done a thing or two with CentOS and in the 
past I have used other Linux distributions.

Lastly, I've been busy writing scientific papers for conferences and journals. 
I would like to showcase the usage of Fedora as a platform for science; an 
operating system where you can carry out your experiments, your data analysis, 
your publishing, etc. The idea I have right now is to document in an article 
the process of writing a thesis using Fedora. There are many hurdles during the 
thesis writing period and I think that and article in that topic might motivate 
many students and give some light at the end of the tunnel.

Looking forward to your comments.

[Marketing] New Contributor for Fedora Magazine

[computerandu]

Hi there,

I just read that Fedora Magazine is looking for contributors and I would like 
to take up this opportunity to introduce myself.

I am Abhishek Prakash, a software developer with over 5 years of experience. I 
use Linux as my main desktop at home. I mainly use Ubuntu but I keep on trying 
new distros. I have used Fedora as well, so don't think of me as an outsider :)

If you want to assess my writing skills, you can read my articles at my blog 
It's FOSS (http://itsfoss.com/). 

As a desktop user, I'll mainly focus on desktop related articles, how-to, tips 
and list articles.

I look forward to join the team.

Org Users?

Associated Orgs/Groups?
Fedora Societies?

Just a few that come to mind.

Matthew,

Welcome and thanks for answering the call :)

Quoting Ryan Lerch's advice for new contributors to the Magazine below:

"""
First up (if you haven't already), you can log into the Magazine
wordpress instance with your FAS account:
http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/

Once you have done that for the first time, let us know for FAS
username here on this list, and one of the editors can grant you
permission to create new posts.

Once we have gotten that access sorted, feel free to jump in to the
wordpress instance, and create a new "pitch". A pitch is typically
just a few sentences of what you think your proposed post will cover.
All of the posts in the magazine start with a pitch, just to be sure
that we don't waste time writing up a full article that might not be a
good fit for the magazine.

Also, feel free to jump into #fedora-mktg on Freenode anytime and ask
questions, there should be people around to answer!
"""

We look forward to getting to know you, and helping you help us tell stories :)

[Matthew Ames]

Hi,

My name is Matthew Ames, and I have just read on Fedora Magazine that you're 
looking for help with articles, specifically from Power Users and Developers. I 
am a system admin by trade, and have solely been using Linux since 2008, and 
Fedora specifically from 2015, starting with Fedora 22, though I have much past 
experience with Red Hat and CentOS too.

I have always been looking for ways which I can help to give back to the 
community, and I try to do a little writing over at https://matty.digital/. If 
I can help in any way, I would certainly like to offer some articles.

My area of expertise is mostly in web hosting, and I'm doing a lot of work 
these days in docker, lxc and gnome-boxes, though with the job I do, I often 
pick up other skills along the way.

Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Matthew.

Welcome Rares!

Just had a quick look at your previous work, and it looks pretty awesome!
Any thoughts on the types of articles that you are keen to contribute?

First up (if you haven't already), you can log into the Magazine wordpress
instance with your FAS account:
http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/
Once you have done that for the first time, let us know for FAS username
here on this list, and one of the editors can grant you permission to
create new posts.

Once we have gotten that access sorted, feel free to jump in to the
wordpress instance, and create a new "pitch". A pitch is typically just a
few sentences of what you think your proposed post will cover. All of the
posts in the magazine start with a pitch, just to be sure that we don't
waste time writing up a full article that might not be a good fit for the
magazine.

Also, feel free to jump into #fedora-mktg anytime and ask questions, there
should be people around to answer!

cheers, and welcome again!

Comment (by mailga):

 IMHO there's the risk of having a nonsense wiki structure is real. That's
 a project we could consider as Ambassador task before a Mktg task.

 Please consider that mktg cannot keep contacts with the several components
 of affiliates; affiliates must be "mentored" (not the right word, maybe)
 first by ambassador an then having a preferential channel with marketing.

 Also, can we consider to have a website such like
 www.fedoraaffiliates.fp.o (or similar), or do we manage them in hubs? Do
 we consider to create a FAS group "affiliates" if doesn't exists yet?

 Affiliates in the whole world could be really too much and if we don't
 manage them very well from the beginning we'll get chaos very soon.

 I think we need a mktg member to coordinate ambassadors tasks about
 affiliates.
