I think a good, user-focused article about FUDCon and highlighting some 
of the talks targeted at users might fit into the magazine.

It would also have to explain a bit about what a FUDCon is too.

I have started a post here (you'll need to login to the magazine to see it)

http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=9139&preview_id=9139&preview=true&preview_nonce=a6c92822a2&post_format=standard

Feel free to jump in and edit it if you want -- i am planning on adding 
some more content to it tonight / tomorrow (Australia time :) )

cheers,
