It’s time for the (overdue) Mindshare Committee’s third Quarterly Report. This post covers activities from the Mindshare Committee and related teams for the months of April, May, and June of 2022. We started off strong with getting these reports together, but as time has gone, it’s gotten a bit more difficult to pull them together and out on time. We are addressing the future of these reports and how we can restructure to make it easier to put them together. As always, we welcome feedback on how we can improve these reports in the related Mindshare ticket.

Magazine Team

• Added a banner to the top of the Fedora Magazine page explaining what the Fedora Magazine is about and links to supporting information. This was suggested by the results of a class project on usability testing.
• Updated the Fedora Magazine page to a more modern “flat” design, removing gradients and rounded corners.
• The design update introduced an undesired rounded corner on the banner containing the Fedora logo. The correction of this was minor but updates to WordPress and PHP versions required a somewhat long and arduous debugging period to re-enable the podman based local testing environment. Corrections are in place to enable local testing, at this time.
