#180 FWD 2020: Community Blog Post
Closed: complete 3 years ago by jflory7. Opened 3 years ago by riecatnor.

We need to create a nice blog post to report on Fedora Women's Day 2020. The post should include a variety of the following items:
- participant stats
- speaker stats
- links to youtube content
- excerpts from the polls
- some of the main themes taken from the event

We need a volunteer to write this post with support/editing from the team. Some of the items above we are waiting on, tho we can start working up the draft now. I am working on gathering the content from HopIn and uploading it to a folder I can share with the appropriate individuals.

@lilyx thank you, that would be great! We definitely still want to write a report on the event. Do you need anything more from me to begin a draft?

@lilyx @riecatnor Hey guys! I'm also available/interested if you wanted to collaborate or needed extra eyes for the draft.

@lilyx thank you, that would be great! We definitely still want to write a report on the event. Do you need anything more from me to begin a draft?

Totally :) yes are you able to share the content that you described above?

@gchang Hey that would be great! Once we get the information I can do a 1st round write up and then would you be into editing?

I would like to help with editing too.

@lilyx Yes! I will happily edit the article. Send it my way once you have a draft.

Hey, I got a draft going in hackmd (link below). It could use some editing for sure; but I think what it most needs is some more notes on the speaker presentations. I included a couple highlights, however as it's been a couple months my memory is a little hazy, plus I was figured it would be great to include points from others who were impacted by any particular presentations :)

do y'all think it would be good to put a thank you to all the speakers by name at the bottom?

@gchang @riecatnor @nasirhm

Hey, I've done some touch ups to the draft that I wrote earlier, I think the structuring is better in this version.

I've included a link to the hackmd site as well as a .md copy

@lilyx this is great!! I love it!

Do we need to work on getting some graphics made? A banner for the post and graphs from the polls is probably all we need

totally! do we have any stock imagery for fedora and screenshots from the event that could be put into a collage to create the banner from?

Hi @lilyx I opened this ticket on the design pagure to get some graphics created: https://pagure.io/design/issue/713

Hey, when I try to write a blogpost, I'm not able to set myself as an author. I'm not sure if I'm missing something regarding set up, has this been an issue before?

Banner file for the blog post:

@lilyx the next step is to submit it to the commblog. You can find directions here:

@lilyx submitted to the CommBlog team and @bcotton scheduled for Thursday. I am closing this ticket as complete.

Thanks so much for taking this one @lilyx!! :muscle: Closing.
