[Matthew Ames]

Hi,

My name is Matthew Ames, and I have just read on Fedora Magazine that you're looking
for help with articles, specifically from Power Users and Developers. I am a system admin
by trade, and have solely been using Linux since 2008, and Fedora specifically from 2015,
starting with Fedora 22, though I have much past experience with Red Hat and CentOS too.

I have always been looking for ways which I can help to give back to the community, and I
try to do a little writing over at https://matty.digital/. If I can help in any way, I
would certainly like to offer some articles.

My area of expertise is mostly in web hosting, and I'm doing a lot of work these days
in docker, lxc and gnome-boxes, though with the job I do, I often pick up other skills
along the way.

Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Matthew.

Matthew,

Welcome and thanks for answering the call :)

Quoting Ryan Lerch's advice for new contributors to the Magazine below:

"""
First up (if you haven't already), you can log into the Magazine
wordpress instance with your FAS account:
http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/

Once you have done that for the first time, let us know for FAS
username here on this list, and one of the editors can grant you
permission to create new posts.

Once we have gotten that access sorted, feel free to jump in to the
wordpress instance, and create a new "pitch". A pitch is typically
just a few sentences of what you think your proposed post will cover.
All of the posts in the magazine start with a pitch, just to be sure
that we don't waste time writing up a full article that might not be a
good fit for the magazine.

Also, feel free to jump into #fedora-mktg on Freenode anytime and ask
questions, there should be people around to answer!
"""

We look forward to getting to know you, and helping you help us tell stories :)

Welcome aboard, Matthew! I think Remy has it mostly covered, but now 
that you've logged into the Magazine, you should check out writing a 
pitch for any article ideas you might have.

For understanding what a pitch is and how to write one, check out this page.

     https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-a-new-pitch/

If you have any questions, always feel free to ask, we want to help you 
be successful here! Again, welcome, and looking forward to seeing 
anything to come up with!
