Re: Joining the Fedora Magazine team

[Link Dupont]

Hi Alexander,

Welcome! If you haven't already, take a look at the steps in "Writing 
an Article for the Fedora Magazine[1].

These howtos sound pretty great. Can you put together a pitch[2] for 
one or two that you're interested in? These "fun, color and tech drama" 
tools sound like they could collapse nicely into an "app picks" sort of 
article (or even a series).
