The following was copied from a Matrix DM conversation:
Joseph Gayoso 05:25 New Slimbook article incoming. Trying to create draft this morning 05:26 For publishing on 15:30 UTC 05:26 Tomorrow, Nov 11 Joseph Gayoso 09:05 A draft of the article is ready to go. Can you review to see what needs to be adjusted? https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=39110&preview=1&_ppp=93b93e6e87 glb 09:21 The dimensions of the cover image are wrong. They are currently 766×309 but they need to be 1890x800. When you look at the article preview, you might notice that the image is setting off center. Joseph Gayoso 09:23 Hmm. What tool do you recommend to crop this? glb 09:23 I'd use GIMP. 09:24 Just as a general rule to improve readability, you should try to avoid packing too many "thoughts" into one sentence.(edited) 09:25 The first sentence is a bit complicated. "It’s been about a month since we announced the Fedora Slimbook laptop as the first step in our partnership with Slimbook to see Fedora Linux preinstalled on more devices. "(edited) 09:25 I'd suggest putting a period after that first thought. "It’s been about a month since we announced the Fedora Slimbook laptop." 09:26 Then start another thought. (e.g. "That was just the first step ....")(edited)
glb 09:44 "New Fedora Slimbook and discounts!" is missing a verb. Otherwise, this article looks OK to me. Thanks for the content. 🙂

For the header image, I swapped out the one I was using for the one we used on the first Slimbook article. I figured it was faster to do this and it's still a nice looking banner.
For the wordy first sentence I did cut it in half as suggested.
For the last sentence about "new Fedora Slimbook and discounts," that was a hold over from when we had more to announce, so I removed it for simplicity's sake.
Any more points of feedback?
@joseph I think the article looks fine. It has been scheduled for 0800 UTC on 11 November (tomorrow, Saturday).
@rlengland can it be scheduled for 15:30 UTC tomorrow (Nov 11)? We're timing this to go up during our marketing presentation at the release party and Slimbook will also be updating their site at the same time.
@joseph Change made. Currently set for 15:30 UTC instead of 08:00
Thank you and thanks for all your help!
