Hi,

I'm not an expert in linux. I've foud out that there is no local
Linux Magazine in the market right now. There is a few mag from us
and uk which cost more than RM40. I'm aware that there is a lot of
info or news about linux that can be found on the net, but I think
its nicer to have at least 1 local Linux Magazine that cost about
RM10 with free CD. Anyone agree with me?

Need your feed back coz I'm thinking of publishing a local Linux
Magazine next year. Anybody interested to join this project please email me at azren15@time.net.my

join in the project ???
what should we do if i want to join the project ??

The idea is this...

We need editors, technical writes, contributors, designers, reviews, etc. to make the local Linux Magazine dream a reality. The most important thins are ideas for example what articles / sections to put in etc...

I've actually already setup a website (almost done) where writers can post their article, etc.

i'm not good enough to "join the project"
but i will surely support your magazine when it is published

I konw few thing about Linux long time ago.But now..it's gone.Maybe I can remeber it back.

r u from the yahoo group , the mydebian sumthin ???

coz if yes , then i think i got the groups email

good job buddy
i will support u

Yup..

i did saw the uk mag.expensive.if have a local i'll support.

i think is better if u use freelancer.

cos i'm also not very good in linux but i wish to contribute to this mag.
i know about few thing only.

maybe u can have a web where we publish our article and u can use it in the mag pay salary base on the article.

I guess that depends on what you call "a lot of money." A magazine DOES need a fair amount of money to start.

How much would you pay for a local linux mag ?
