Hi there Fedora Magazine! My name is Guy and I am interested in contributing to the Fedora Magazine. A little about myself: I am 19 (almost 20!) years of age studying a conjoint degree in Science and Commerce at the University of Auckland. My passions lie in Physics, Road Cycling, anything wine related and all things Linux. I have been a Linux user for the scoffworthy time period of a mere four years and in that time have flirted with many distributions but my heart always lands back with Fedora. I have a job as a Python developer which I pick up in my summer holidays working with a local team on an open source ERP solution. In all honesty, I haven't given much thought to what I would like to write about as I saw this opportunity and jumped at it. I think that my contributions can be quite varied solely as my research capabilities are quite good. Perhaps a starting point would be my interest in Fedora's interaction with people and how this manifests itself in a powerful community. I would (tentatively) consider myself a power user and I think I could comment on upcoming developments with proficiency and merit. While this as a sample is rather poor in terms of relevance, it is a good example of my style of writing. http://www.gratiaapp.com/travel-blog/12-new-zealand/auckland/43-stonyridge-vineyard-waiheke http://www.gratiaapp.com/travel-blog/12-new-zealand/auckland/50-man-o-war-vineyards I look forward to hearing from you, Guy
Hello Guy! I know this is a late response from me, but welcome to the Marketing mailing list!
It's awesome to hear you're interested in writing for the Magazine. Looking at some of the background you added, you could probably consider writing about some of the things you're using Fedora for on a daily basis. You mention you're doing Python development work over the summer holidays. Are you using Fedora for that? What kinds of tools are you using? Anything interesting or worth sharing with others who might find it useful? A good way to start coming up with an idea for your first piece are the things you love about Fedora and what makes it your distribution of choice. :)
Once you settle on an idea, you should check out our writing guides for new articles on the Magazine. These should help give you an idea of what next steps you will need to take to get your article published.
