Fedora Magazine

What is the Fedora Magazine

Fedora Magazine has become the replacement for the Fedora Weekly news. Fedora Magazine is a WordPress-based site, that delivers all the news of the Fedora Community.

What is the content of the Magazine

The content on the Fedora Magazine varies. All the general and development announcements regarding Fedora are published, meaning that all the news that happens within the Fedora community are available to be seen. Also many events are published on the Magazine's event calendar, especially major Fedora events, while most of them are published on the magazine as well. Event reports also exist on the Magazine, as well as meeting minutes from all Fedora's sub-projects are published in a special section of the Magazine.

Editorial Calendar

10th Anniversary Content

Revised schedule, treating the first release of Fedora Core in November 2003 as the "official" anniversary.

Month Topic Draft Deadline Publication Deadline Author Editor Notes
October FPL Retrospective 14 October 2013 22 October 2013 jzb ? Still missing 2 interviews. We can also reuse this video and be halfway there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOFXBGh6DZ0
November History of Fedora 13 November 2013 22 November 2013 Robyn Bergeron + Chris Roberts jzb Could probably start off with a bulletpoint-style outline of history just to get a sense of things that have happened. Releases/HistoricalSchedules is probably a good place to pull major dates from and form an outline.
December 10 Firsts for Fedora 10 December 2013 20 December 2013 ? jzb (Volunteers?) Would be good to look at some of the technologies that Fedora has pioneered. Especially things that have been widely adopted in other projects.
January Visual History of Fedora 13 January 2014 23 January 2014 ? jzb I moved this up a bit to compensate for Christmas holiday. Picturing a slideshow or something that shows how the desktop, installer, etc. have matured over the years. Should include GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc.
February Fedora Around the World 13 February 2014 23 February 2014 if confirmed jzb angle Gabriele Trombini jzb Possible angle: Fedora's translation and ambassador communities around the world?
March Let's Get Small (with Fedora) 13 March 2014 23 March 2014 suehle jzb Perhaps something about Fedora's history with ARM and other embedded/non-x86 archs? Thinking especially Raspberry pi.
