Article Summary: Introduce new Log Detective integration with Packit and describe how it will work.

Article Description:
Article will present audience with new integration of Log Detective and Packit,
explaining basics of Log Detective service and how communication between Log Detective and Packit will be conducted.

Since both Log Detective[1] and Packit have been deployed in production for some time now, focus won’t be on either of the services, but on what functionality will Log Detective provide for Packit and how will it be delivered.

Final section of the article will make note of upcoming extension of Log Detective analysis to Packit builds executed in COPR.

This is probably better suited for the Fedora Community Blog, but I’m not against publishing it on Fedora Magazine.

commops-team Do you have an opinion about this?

I don’t have particular preference regarding the venue. If it is a consensus that this article should go into community blog, rather than the magazine, I would gladly publish it there.

@jpodivin to me the venue for this article depends on who is likely to benefit from it. If the use of Log Detective and Packit are likely to be of general use in the greater Fedora community then the magazine is fine. If the implementation and your description is primarily for the integration in the Fedora project developers environment then the Community blog is perhaps more reasonable.

Since I am not in the development environment I can only say that I suspect the Community Blog might be better.

Ultimately your choice, however.

I was hoping to get someone from the commops-team, who run the the Fedora Community Blog, to opine. Maybe @jflory7? But I think Justin might be on PTO.
