Re: Tuxmagazine



If you've got stuff on your plate sri, at least collecting a magazine
list and contact information and picking out some of the best articles
as samples might be something someone else on the list could do in the
meantime? Anyone? :)

Which is...?

Which generic magazines?  Well, things like Computer Shopper or
a ZDnet magazine etc.  The ZDNet stuff might have restrictions,
I don't know.

For the GNU magazine, RMS is a decent contact. He has tried to
encourage article (and of course philosophy) sharing with the magazine
staff before.

OK.  Sounds good.

I have a contact in Linux Magazine France, who might be interested in
syndicating a translation of a GNOME article a month - I would need to
check up with him and get back to you.
I think having these articles translated to magazines like these
is great.

I'll get onto Denis then. I'll keep in touch with status.

Cool.


Is there anyone willing to start building a list of contacts for
things
like this, and spend some time knocking on magazine editors' inboxes?

Putting together a team would be kind of nice from each country
might be one way to do it.  Inviting magazines to attend GUADEC is
also another way to get them to come to you. :-)

A good start would be to get a list of magazine people and regularly
mail them when gnome journals come out. The list might not be
comprehensive, and it may well grow beyond what one person can handle,
but we can see who bites, and figure out if it's worth the effort.

So - do you want to take it on? ;)

Not sure as of yet.  I'm trying to only commit to stuff I know
I will be able to get done.  At the moment, my personal life is
somewhat chaotic.  I'll try to take a stab at it after I've finished
the personal stuff on my plate. :-)
