Hi Fedora Magazine editors! I’d like to pitch an article summarising the findings from the recent Fedora Verified community survey.
What the article covers: A breakdown of what contributors want from a potential Fedora Verified initiative — including key themes, contrasting opinions, and what the survey results mean for the community going forward.
Why it’s relevant: The survey generated really interesting community discussion and the findings are timely ahead of the Council’s planned conversations next month.
I don’t seem to be able to access your documents, but the topic sounds appropriate for Fedora Magazine. Go ahead and upload the content here and the editors will review it.
I would suggest that a location other than Google Docs be found for the “full analysis report”. Both in keeping with FOSS (which might also create some push back) and the fact that the report requires that you log into Google Docs to read it. At the very least that document should be set to allow anyone with the link to read it.
Thank you both for your feedback — really appreciate you taking the time!
Just to update you: the links are fixed. I’m also currently working on the supporting visuals for the article and will update the post accordingly once everything is in place.
Apologies for the delay and thanks for your patience!
Just a quick update — everything should now be good to go for the article. The broken links have been fixed, and the supporting visuals/images have also been added to the post.
Please let me know if there’s anything else needed from my end or if there are any final changes required.
Also, could you please let me know the scheduled date and time for publication?
Thank you @ananya. I moved your image to the ‘featured image’ location in the article rather than as an image at the top of the article (nice image, by the way).
I also modified some sentences with passive voice, broke up a couple of long sentences, and added some headings.
Please look it over one more time in case my edits misrepresent your intent.
I will schedule this for 20 May (this coming Wednesday) at 0800 UTC.
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thank you for contributing to Fedora and the Fedora Magazine.
Thank you so much Richard ! A million thanks for all the edits and improvements — everything looks amazing now. I really appreciate you moving the image and refining the flow of the article.
I reviewed the changes, and everything is perfectly fine from my end too. Thank you so much for scheduling it for 20 May as well.
Really grateful for all the support, and happy to contribute to Fedora Project and Fedora Magazine!
I want to be sure that you are aware that there might be a small issue with the cover image. Some feed readers (e.g. Mastodon) will crop a bit of the top and/or sides of the cover image when they display it on their feed. Fedora Magazine recommends leaving a margin of about 10% on the left/right sides of the image and about 13% on the top/bottom of the image.
The SVG template contains guidelines to indicate what portion of the cover image’s edge might get clipped when the article is shared on various social media sites. The portion that might get clipped is about 10% of the left and right sides of the image and about 13% of the top and bottom. In the SVG template, the guidelines provide margins of exactly 183 pixels on the left and right and 107 pixels on the top and bottom for an image that is sized to 1890x800 pixels. This leaves an interior region of 1524x586 pixels within which it is safe to place text without concern that it will get clipped when the article is shared out to other social media sites.
In its current form, your cover image might end up looking something like this on the social media sites:
