End of Community update

Last few years a small team of people in the CLE Team were working each week to prepare a Community update for you. First one published on October 21st 2021. We were starting with only Infrastructure and Release Engineering teams (+ initiatives we did in CPE Team at the time), but later added more teams to our weekly reports to bring people a better picture what is being worked on. We thank to everyone who read our updates and found some value in them.

But as life is going forward even this updates are evolving. Last few weeks @abompard worked together with us to improve his weekly report to include the sources we are using for this weekly reports. So I introduce to you This Week in Fedora as a replacement for Community weekly updates. I’m glad that this initiative I started few years ago was able to live for that long and hopefully helped a few people to find information they were looking for.

I would like to thank people who helped me working on Community weekly updates:

This is the first I’ve seen the This Week in Fedora posts and I’m loving it. Thank you for all the hard work you and everyone else involved has put into this.

Also first time I have heard of this. Where would I seen it advertised?
Maybe create a topic here pointing to each edition as you publish?

FYI The kde folks do it like this This Week in Plasma: Shadows for Steam and Discord - KDE Blogs - Blogs - KDE Discuss

Thank you for the work you put into the regular community updates until now, they’ve been useful to see what’s going on behind the scenes!

Also +1 to having an RSS feed for TWIF so I can add it to my feed reader
abompard says:

Thanks for the feedback! There are two RSS feeds at the moment for TWIF, you’ll find them in the page footer (and in the HTML header as the spec suggests for RSS readers to parse): one contains the entire article (in Atom) and one contains only the top-level summaries (in RSS). You can pick the one that fits your workflow best

Thanks to the team of folks who kept these weekly updates coming over the years. Anyone who has tried to keep a column going on a regular basis knows how much work is involved in that. But consistently running a weekly column for nearly five years?! Now, that is an accomplishment to be proud of.

Also, a special thanks to you, @zlopez, for not only co-authoring these weekly reports, but also the larger work of becoming an editor of the CommBlog and helping keep the cadence of content going. I am grateful.
