Hello Jeremiah,

Have a project that requires collaboration and planning for the
idealization, the main idea is to create an e-zine, and I think we can
plan for it to be distributed online.
This project is called DebianZine.org

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianZine
http://debianzine.org
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debianzine/

Let's think about the planning I believe we can make a good zine. One
example that we have is the Full Circle.

http://fullcirclemagazine.org

Full circle is actually published by the same folks who publish the Ubuntu User magazine. But any contribution we can create inside Debian to either create our own regular source of news in a magazine-like format or to contribute to another existing magazine is a Good Thing I think.

As long as we can take what we already develop weekly, publish it more professionally and widely, then I think we're providing a good service to Debian. I'm happy to contribute to DebiaZine too of course and think we should definitely co-ordinate our planning.

Warm regards,

Jeremiah


Kind Regards
