Thanks for volunteering to write for the Fedora Magazine!
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.
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.
The packit is available to all people who wish to package a project for Fedora. But yes, it is really just for developers. Can I try publishing it in the magazine, and if it’s rejected there, try the community blog?
I was trying to give the Community Blog a chance to take this one since I think it might be of more interest to the packagers and development community than it would be to the Fedora Linux end-users. But they don’t seem to be paying attention, so let’s go ahead and run this on Fedora Magazine. At least we can say we gave them a chance to score the content.
There might be one small problem with the cover image. It looks like the text might be a little too close to the left/right margins. Also, it’s just my opinion, but I would make the text a little bolder.
