Then for those who volunteer here is my contact:

Paul Hudson
Linux Format Magazine
paulxxxx xxhudson xxxfuturenet xxxco xxxuk

Remove the x's for the real email address.  Don't want the scanners
to pick up his email (although I'm sure he's getting plenty of spam)

If people want the address and what not I can do that.  It would
be a good idea to password protect these contacts or find away to
ensure privacy for those in this contact list. (and probably adhere
to any privacy laws that we're subject to)

I believe Jorge Castro has some contacts for an Argentian magazine.
He's frequently had his articles re-published and since he's also
a writer for ArsLinux Magazine and a huge GNOME fan he's probably a
good person to approach.  He did a lot of evangalizing at Penguincon
in Detroit. (a future conference to send CD's too as a side note
since there are many GNOME people there)
