<br>
We are more than a month since we have had enough content for another issue of FWN, \
and so I thought I would post openly to the News, Ambassadors, and Marketing lists, \
asking for some dialogue around this, and seeking some new contributors, perhaps.<br>
<br>
Fedora Weekly News is a very important vehicle for letting both the Fedora community \
and the external Linux community, know what the happenings are with the Fedora \
Project. FWN has been around for many years and is a trusted brand that the \
community looks forward to each week.<br>
<br>
Writing for FWN is definitely a time commitment, on a weekly basis, and so its \
understandable that FWN's volunteer beat writers sometimes have a hard time \
contributing on that regular a basis.<br> <br>
But, if we don't have writers for FWN, we don't have content to produce an \
issue, and the community loses the vibrant voice that they have relied on in the \
past.<br> <br>
Do you have suggestions for making FWN an easier time commitment? Should we \
consider moving FWN to a biweekly frequency for some beats that don't have enough \
content for a weekly beat?<br> <br>
So, I would like to hear from both current beat writers to FWN, and community members \
that perhaps would like to get involved as a writer for FWN. The bar is not high \
for participation. You basically need to have:<br> <br>
1) Continuing interest and passion in the Fedora Project, perhaps on some particular \
aspect or subproject that you'd like to write on<br> 2) A bit of familiarity with \
Mediawiki tagging and conventions, and the Fedora Project wiki Style Guide<br> 3) A \
Commitment to produce a beat on more or less weekly basis<br> <br>
Thanks for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from some of you \
and your ideas to make FWN a viable and vibrant media vehicle for the Fedora Project \
again.<br> <br>
