Hello everyone! I also wish to get on board and write for Fedora Magazine. My acquaintance with this Linux distro dates back to the very first version of Fedora Core 1 in fall of 2003 and continued (although with interruptions) up to the current Fedora 28 release. I'm a tech journalist, not a developer, but through the past years I've collected a solid background of writing about open source software, and my Fedora installation has often been a testbed for it. Since 2010 I write for Linux Format, in which I currently head the Hotpicks section. I've got a lot of proposals, both fun and serious, about amusement and productivity apps that fall into certain groups. I can't immediately write about several apps of the same kind for Hotpicks, but I can possibly do brief how-tos for Fedora Magazine. Here's an example: Add some fun, color and tech drama to your terminal with No More Secrets https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets, Lolcat https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat, Chafa https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa and Browsh https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh. The serious part may be about, say, converting your ext4 partition to btrfs, or xfs, or whatever without loosing data. It's not a fiction https://github.com/cosmos72/fstransform! So, I humbly think I can be helpful for Fedora users...
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).

Just closing the loop here -- this was approved and Alexander is writing his first article for us for (hopefully) next week publication!
Great idea and looking forward to seeing this, Alexander.
