Hello people,

(my apologies if you receive this email more than once!)

I sent this email to people who proposed articles or advertising for Free Software Magazine.

Well, Free Software Magazine (issue 1) is out! Please go and check it out: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com

It is absolutely crucial, at this point, that we all:

* Spread the word. Talk about Free Software Magazine to your LUG's mailing lists, your geek and non-geek friends, and anybody who you think could be interested in subscribing

* Subscribe yourself! (if you can afford it). In the (hopefully near) future, writers and arvertisers will get a free subscription. Until then, please support us!

* Tell Slashdot/Freshmeat/anybody about us! Here is a possibile announcement:

"The first issue of Free Software Magazine (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com) is out! Free Software Magazine is a new magazine entirely dedicated to free software. It contains quality articles relating to both technical and non-technical issues; all published articles are released under a free license after their publication. The magazine obviously needs subscribers - the more the better. Have a look at it: if you feel like supporting an exciting project, please subscribe!

* Put a link to http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com on your web site. Even better, publish one of these banners on your web site: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/banners/banner-square.gif http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/banners/fsm_banner_01.gif http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/banners/text_banner.txt

* Do whatever you think could help the magazine - as long as it's ethical

Well, that's it. Please let me know what you think about Free Software Magazine. And... thanks a lot for your help!

Bye,

Merc.
