Although I would like to (be paid to) design digital circuits, I actually work at a telco as an operations guy (or some sort of sysadmin). I use Fedora in my personal computer as well as in my work computer.

These are just some ideas I have for pitches that I still have to write properly if I am accepted as an author of Fedora Magazine :-) Hi Roni, and welcome. We'd love to have you on board as an author. The Electronics Lab is no longer built in Fedora, although lots of the apps are still in the Fedora repo. I would suggest picking a few apps and then showing how users can put them to use to design or simulate circuits. We would also love to have articles on sysadmin tasks, and the XML file manipulations sound like a a great idea. Maybe you could pile in a few, like "3 quick hacks for dealing with XML files." -- Paul W.
