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!

    that you're looking for help with articles, specifically from Power
    Users and Developers. I am a system admin by trade, and have solely

    starting with Fedora 22, though I have much past experience with Red
    Hat and CentOS too.

    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 :)
