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.

Hi Ryan, I have already logged in with my FAS account, so I should be ready to go in Wordpress. I have a few ideas for pitches; I will try to draft some up this week. Thanks for your time!
