nice man ... u sure will get my support ...

A mass-produced full-color RM10 mag with a CD is practically a miracle. If he can do it, then I really have to salute him

Its possible... Just like PCGamer, PCPlus, etc - need sponsorship and advertisement nia.

Hmm.............

Dont give him pressure.

This is some basic calculation:

Depends of what quality of paper used le if RM10 i think quite ok to make it la coz printing a mag with a bout 60pages full color/paper type cost about RM4-5 depends per 10k copies/print and CD mass production might come around RM1(+ label printing) .

If plus all those production cost say RM2 per copy and some commision to seller/distributor or what ever middleman will say RM1 then the total cost will come around

RM4+1+2+1=RM8 and profit per copy is RM2(by putting RM10 as selling price.

Say he print 10k copy to test market 1st

RM2 *10k = RM20k and this onmly subject to sold all.

Assume his mag only laku 75% then it will be RM15k..........

Say his producction team is about 20 ppl then each of u earn about RM15k/20= RM750>> this is quite ok le if a good team organization setup and perharps u might start this as a part time............

Hint: U can cut a bit ur cost if u can find some sponsor

I could lend a hand maybe if u need it..................

Do let me know if ur mag is out. I will buy

PC Gamer and PC Plus sell for RM10 with CDs ?

nice work man ...
this is a very healthy effort in spreading opensource resources throughout the region
for starters, try tackling the readers by investing something fun that can be enjoyed by all range of age. Just my 2 cent. Plus it would be kewl if u include the BSD family to spice up the agenda. Support local product. Outta here.

I definetely would like to join the team for the local Linux Magazine! Definetely will support ....

Ayoi... Don't just talk here, talk there! I afraid that at the end nothing will come out. If have to, please do a proposal to let us see the plan.

Yeap! I havent been buying for a year because i won a free 1 year subscription thing through some Warcraft Contest so I dont know if there's a price increase.

cool MAMBO CMS ...aJeN

keep up a good work on it ...soon many user will switch to Linux environment

ahhahaha....from my observation....
this avatar looks very familiar... openbsd ehh
ittutor ke..hehehehehe

btw...if the mag is on sale.. put the pics here...n i'll try my best to buy one to support

Cool.. but then PC Plus is a general mag right ? and PC Gamer covers all the games on the market ? in short, the potential market for those publications are huge -- there are tons of gamers, and even more PC users. I don't know if there are that many linux users.

Anyway, if it works I really bow down to him
