Hi all,My name is Martino Jones, I have been using Fedora for the past year and really
enjoy the distro. I have used Linux since high school, so I have a lot of experience;
however, I'm not an expert, I'm still learning. I think I would rate my experience
at advanced. I use Fedora as my desktop distro for class work: programming, scripting,
security tools, writing, etc. I have also used Fedora for gaming, I use the proprietary
Nvidia graphics drivers and Steam. I'm a college student with an Assoc. in Computer
and Network Security and I'm obtaining my B.S. in Applied Information Assurance. I
really like Fedora, I've gotten some of my friends to try it out, but some of them are
turned off by the support pages. Sometimes I make a YouTube video or blog post on my
personal site to help people along the way (focusing on both terminal and GUI), but I
think it would be best if I help with the documentation. I see Fedora growing more and
more and it's really exciting to see. I wish to help with the documentation, and hope
this is the right way to get started.

Hey Martino, welcome to the Marketing list! Sounds like you have a fair
amount of background with Fedora, which is awesome to hear. I'm sure
you've also found some useful tips and tricks over the years as a
student too that might be good to share.
By the sounds of your introduction, you might also be interested in
contributing to the Fedora Docs team too with Marketing. As far as the
actual documentation / release notes for Fedora goes, the Docs team
handles the technical writing and management of those resources. You can
find out more about them here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_contribute_to_Docs
As for the Marketing list, you may find writing about some of the tools
and software you're using enjoyable as well. If there's any software you
think you could write a how-to for, development tools you're excited
about, or anything else Fedora-related you think you could write about
it, we'd love to have you contribute to the Magazine!
You can find some more out about the procedure for writing on the
Magazine at the following links. Your next step to write for the
Magazine would be to draft a pitch.

Hopefully you find all of these resources useful for getting started. If
you have any questions, please reach out to us and let us know what we
can do to help. Looking forward to seeing what you might come up with. :)

Once you have your pitch drafted, you can save it, and then drop a line
to the mailing list with a link to the preview so we can review it and
check it out. Once an editor replies back to you approving your idea,
you can move forward with working on the full draft, and then you can
check in again with us either once it's complete or if you hit an
unexpected roadblock.

Welcome the Marketing list. It sounds like you have a wealth of
experience that will be helpful with spreading the word about Fedora
and FOSS.
I see that Justin has already given you some great resources for
contributing so I will just make this a welcome.
