I have started a monthly online linux magazine for Indians.
Love the passion but rather than reinvent the wheel why don't you join in and contribute to www.ubuntu-in.org This group also has a wiki, perhaps you might want to contribute..
It is totally
free of cost with no advertisement or any commercial gains.
All the more reason why you should join and lend a hand in existing projects.
ummm, how would that work? This dude is talking about a Linux magazine. From what I understand from that he means ``generic" Linux magazine where people can write and share ideas, tips and foo. This is something similar to ilug-del's ezine concept. Ubuntu-in is a Indian chapter of Ubuntu which has its own set of valid aims and goals. And lets say, somebody wants to write a - ``how-to do fooBar on Fedora Core 7", then ubuntu-in.org not exactly the right place to contribute or is it? From what I understand, the goals are different so there is less scope to join hands in this particular case. So I think, I think and IMHO this person 's ( what is your name buddy? ) is perfectly ok. ( Though maybe the idea can be merged with ilug-del's ezine concept, but I am not sure how much that thing worked out. )
And now Mr. linux.magzen@gmail.com, err now what I would like to know from you is - is this magazine going to be a online one or a good old paper magazine. Now if I wanted to buy it, how much would I have to pay for it and to whom? Where would I buy it from? Newsstands? Are you going to email a pdf copy? Or do you plan a nice little website? Are you based in Mumbai or nearby areas? Please understand one thing, I am not interrogating you, I might want to contribute little whatever I know ( and there might be others even) , but I am bit wary of anonymous posts and people. So if you give us more details, there might be more people coming forward to contribute.
Cheers!
