IDEA: Microsoft
recently launched Visual Studio Code 1.0 today and they packaged it

(2) If you are writing for the first time,
introduce yourself on the Marketing mailing list as an interested
Magazine contributor. Be sure to include some information about the
things you do, any interest areas you have specifically for writing,
as well as any past articles or things you have written.(jflory7,
21:49:36)
(3) Create a pitch in the Magazine. A Pitch is
the tl;dr / summary of your article. It's basically an outline of
what you plan to cover. See the following link for an overview of
putting one together.(jflory7,
21:50:10)
(4) Once your pitch is either approved on the
mailing list or in IRC by a Magazine editor, begin drafting the
article! Try to keep up with meetings or the mailing list about the
status of your draft.(jflory7,
21:51:04)
(5) Once the draft is complete, update the team
either on IRC or the mailing list and let us know it's pending
review. A Magazine editor will look over the article, we'll get it a
featured image, and we'll work on getting it scheduled!(jflory7,
