[Review & Publish] Announcing Webhook To Fedora Messaging

Article Summary:
Announcing Webhook To Fedora Messaging

Article Description:

With the transition of the applications from Fedmsg to Fedora Messaging inching towards completion, today we want to introduce a new service, Webhook To Fedora Messaging. Webhook To Fedora Messaging has been researched[1] and developed[2] by the Fedora Infrastructure team members with the company of an Outreachy[3] mentee over the course of last quarter to communicate with services using webhooks.

As this service was designed to be the successor[4] to the existing Github2Fedmsg service, we also want to announce that the service is now deprecated and existing users are encouraged to migrate to the newer service. If you are an existing user of Github2Fedmsg service, please open a private ticket in the fedora-infra/w2fm-migration[5] repository on Pagure using the template named “Github2Fedmsg Migration Request”.

Featured image or inspiration for one?

Use the FontAwesome link icon thingy… and bus (because messaging bus)?

Nice! You could link directly to https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/w2fm-migration/new_issue to open a new issue in the migration tracker. Also, it’s named w2fm-migration but the text refers to w2fm-registration.

@glb @rlengland Could you folks please take a look at this? TIA.

Is this a Fedora Magazine article or a CommBlog article?

Community Blog.

Could you please point us to the right person if you do not happen to take care of the Community Blog?

I think Justin Flory is running the Community Blog, but I’m not sure. Whoever it is should be monitoring this discourse workflow.

@jflory7 Non-empty ping.

@jflory7 any updates on this? Is it in the publishing pipeline yet?

Hi folks, we took a look at this article during the Community Blog roundtable today. I would like to schedule it for this week. I took an editorial pass and cleaned up the content. Although it is a mailing list convention to use indexes like this, the convention does not carry over to blogging. Using hyperlinks in an article supports better search engine optimization. In the future, please embed your hyperlinks directly into the article.

However, I did have some questions about this article. What is the use case and context for using Webhook To Fedora Messaging? The article assumes that the reader has prior context about what Github2Fedmsg is, or even what the fedora-messaging bus is. Could you provide more examples in this article that communicate better the function of the project? I admit that after reading the article, I am not really sure what the function or purpose of the project is. Let’s come up with a really great pitch for this to get people excited about it!

Could we work a general background/overview to fedora-messaging into the article, as well as explain with some use cases or examples of why someone would use Webhooks To Fedora Messaging?

Hey @jflory7,

I have added an excerpt explaining the project’s purpose and restructured the hyperlinks. Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done.

This post is now scheduled for Tuesday 22th October 0800 UTC.
