Welcome Justin!

This kind of content would be perfect for the magazine! The best way to 
start writing for the magazine is to propose a pitch (or many pitches :) 
). WE ask people to do this just to be sure that the content is suitable 
for the magazine before the whole post is written.

All a pitch is is a paragraph outlining the synopsis of your post, and 
the base target audience. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a 
clear outline of your proposed post.

All you need to do is create a post in our Wordpress instance, and write 
your pitch in there. If you already have a Fedora FAS account, you can 
log into the magazine with that using these instructions -- 
http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/

Once you have logged in, ping this thread back and an editor can jump on 
and grant you write access, and then you will be able to post your pitch.

WE have a weekly IRC meeting on Thursday evenings where we go through 
all the pitches, and you are welcome to attend that too.

cheers, and welcome to the magazine!
