[Marketing] Installing Plex Media Server (Pitch)

[Martino Jones]

I searched the site for Plex and didn't find anything. So, I think my first 
post will be about Plex. Hopefully I'm following guidelines. Here's a link to 
my pitch:https://fedoramagazine.org/installing-plex-media-server/

Once you have your pitch drafted, you can save it, and then drop a line 
to the mailing list with a link to the preview so we can review it and 
check it out. Once an editor replies back to you approving your idea, 
you can move forward with working on the full draft, and then you can 
check in again with us either once it's complete or if you hit an 
unexpected roadblock.

Martin:

Welcome the Marketing list. It sounds like you have a wealth of
experience that will be helpful with spreading the word about Fedora
and FOSS.

I see that Justin has already given you some great resources for
contributing so I will just make this a welcome.

Charles

Hey Martino, welcome to the Marketing list! Sounds like you have a fair 
amount of background with Fedora, which is awesome to hear. I'm sure 
you've also found some useful tips and tricks over the years as a 
student too that might be good to share.
 
By the sounds of your introduction, you might also be interested in 
contributing to the Fedora Docs team too with Marketing. As far as the 
actual documentation / release notes for Fedora goes, the Docs team 
handles the technical writing and management of those resources. You can 
find out more about them here:
 
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project
 
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_contribute_to_Docs
 
As for the Marketing list, you may find writing about some of the tools 
and software you're using enjoyable as well. If there's any software you 
think you could write a how-to for, development tools you're excited 
about, or anything else Fedora-related you think you could write about 
it, we'd love to have you contribute to the Magazine!
 
You can find some more out about the procedure for writing on the 
Magazine at the following links. Your next step to write for the 
Magazine would be to draft a pitch.
 
 https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/
 
 https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-a-new-pitch/
 
Hopefully you find all of these resources useful for getting started. If 
you have any questions, please reach out to us and let us know what we 
can do to help. Looking forward to seeing what you might come up with. :)

[Marketing] Follow-up on Fedora Jam article

[Justin W. Flory]

Hey Brian,

Wanted to follow up on the status of the "Getting started with Fedora 
Jam" article. In our meeting today, we reviewed the article, and it 
looks good so far. We had a few suggestions for ways to expand the 
article a little bit.


Adding some screenshots in of some software in the Jam Lab might be a 
good idea to help give readers a visual of some of the software 
available for use. This could be a screenshot of actual music production 
or just a demo of something running, but any kind of screenshot should 
do fine.


Additionally, we also thought it would be good to offer some more 
background and introduction for Fedora Jam. Some questions that may be 
helpful to answer to introduce the lab:


1) What can Fedora Jam be used for?
2) What kind of software is available for music production or mixing?
3) Why might a musician be interested in using Fedora Jam?

This should help offer a good introduction to the Lab and explain what 
it is to readers. Adding download links to the bottom would also be 
helpful to point readers where to get their hands on it!


Everything else so far looks good! We're looking at having this 
published on Wednesday, 2016-06-01. If you think you would be able to 
have the screenshots and/or edits in by the end of Sunday, that would be 
best so we have time to do a final editing pass and get a featured image 
for the article.


Let us know if you have any questions or other ideas for the article! 
Thanks for working on this piece. :)

Hey Charles, just reviewed and edited the article. I think it's all
ready to ship out. Does a Monday publish time sound good to you? If
so,
I will go ahead and schedule it out for next week.

[Marketing] Intro: Martino Jones

[Martino Jones]

Hi all,My name is Martino Jones, I have been using Fedora for the past year and 
really enjoy the distro. I have used Linux since high school, so I have a lot 
of experience; however, I'm not an expert, I'm still learning. I think I would 
rate my experience at advanced. I use Fedora as my desktop distro for class 
work: programming, scripting, security tools, writing, etc. I have also used 
Fedora for gaming, I use the proprietary Nvidia graphics drivers and Steam. I'm 
a college student with an Assoc. in Computer and Network Security and I'm 
obtaining my B.S. in Applied Information Assurance. I really like Fedora, I've 
gotten some of my friends to try it out, but some of them are turned off by the 
support pages. Sometimes I make a YouTube video or blog post on my personal 
site to help people along the way (focusing on both terminal and GUI), but I 
think it would be best if I help with the documentation. I see Fedora growing 
more and more and it's really exciting to see. I wish to help with the 
documentation, and hope this is the right way to get started.

Happy to have new articles in the Magazine, but our purpose is to
highlight Fedora, so the former article sounds like a better match to
me.

Hi Emeka, thanks for reaching out! There are some resources available 
from the Marketing and Design team that may be of use to help your 
marketing efforts in your region. You should also consider reaching out 
to the EMEA Ambassadors team for regional support with resources, any 
planning for local events, and other advocacy purposes. You can find 
more information about the Ambassadors program at the link below.

I think it would be a good idea to reach out the G11n team once there is 
a solid English version ready. Some of their team members may be able to 
advise more about how to go about proceeding with this.

Hi!

Once I get my laptop back I can translate some parts to Spanish if it's
that OK for you.

Sounds good.  I've opened some issues and submitted some PRs.  I'll
keep working as I get feedback and time.

I believe we discussed this one in last week's meeting:
https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/magazine/magazine.2016-05-19-21.00.html

The editors thought it was a great topic to cover.  But the article
was a little short on explanation, and thus it was hard to follow.
Patrick Uiterwijk was going to do a technical check and first run over
this article to ensure accuracy and provide some context.  Then we can
polish and schedule it.

The flow is described here, in steps 4-6:

Hi Justin,

I'm glad that you know of It's FOSS :)

I am waiting for the Fedora 24 release. I'll come up with the articles once I 
start using it. Meanwhile, as you suggested, I'll go, pitch up the ideas.

Hello Sylvia,

I have a couple of topic suggestions for Fedora 24. Examples: Best themes for
