F23 Beta release announcement article on Magazine ready!
by Paul W. Frields
I set up an article for the F23 Beta release, using the wiki as the
source text. It should be ready for publication, once it gets a
pretty graphic. Someone will need to push the button to publish at
the right time. I can do that but need someone to poke me when it
happens.
Hey Ryan, that reminds me... is there already a "template" source for
F<n> Alpha/Beta/Final graphics? This one was simple enough I probably
could have done it, but the last time I checked, the fonts in the SVG
were converted to paths, so I couldn't easily edit. Of course, I'm
not an Inkscape guru so that probably didn't help! :-D

fpaste article for F-Mag
by Paul W. Frields
I edited Mike Ruckman's excellent article on fpaste. This one is also
ready (I think) once it gets a graphic.
Note this article is a little more conversational in style, but I
think that's a good fit. The audience will often be people who are
new to Fedora or command line. This article goes a long way to
explain what experienced people might take for granted. And the
friendly, conversational tone seems right for that purpose too.

Fedora Magazine: Interested in being an Author
by Justin W. Flory
Hello,
My name is Justin and I have been a Fedora user for a few years now. I
am currently a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and I
was interested in looking into the possibility of contributing writing
to the Fedora Magazine.
Some of my ideas for how I might be able to contribute are with articles
targeted towards college students and how they can use Fedora and the
software available for Fedora to accomplish everyday tasks or have fun
playing with their system.
I am very interested in contributing towards the Magazine, and I look
forward to hearing a response soon! Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
