Hi all, it’s been a few years since I have proposed an article, but I am wanting to get back into writing. I have an article rough draft fleshed out and I think it might be good for an upcoming article in Fedora Magazine. It walks readers through installing gnucobol, then goes on to detail coding a simple hello world program in Vim, then running the program. Finally, it walks readers through writing, compiling, and running a more interesting cobol program, such as a Fibonacci counter. Please let me know what you think.
+1 looks cool
+1 I created the card on our Kanban board. Please sign in to teams.fedoraproject.org with your Fedora account and I’ll add you as the author.
Ok, I have logged in and I can see the entry for the article on the Kanban board and left a comment so that you can find my username easily. What are the next steps?
I added you as a writer and assigned you to the card. You can start writing the article and move the card to “to review” when you’re ready for an editor to take a look at it. For more details on the workflow, see the workflow docs.

I started my IT carrier with a COBOL course. Unfortunately I never worked with it (it is quite long time ago).
If there is a tester used to get thru the tutorial i would offer to do so.
This seems interesting. Examples of COBOL application areas and also pointers to further COBOL resources would be good to have.
I’m afraid I am not a COBOL user so I can not help directly with this but searching uncovered this information that might be helpful. If I understand correctly GnuCOBOL is what Fedora provides
As always contributed articles are always welcome.
