-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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 Kind Regards Em 30-09-2010 08:49, Jeremiah Foster escreveu: > Hello, > > There is a magazine called Ubuntu User: http://www.ubuntu-user.com/ > > I subscribe to this magazine and I think it's pretty good.
