Re: Ubuntu magazine name

off the top of my head: "A Magazine for Human Beings". (a reference to the ubunutu theme and the ubuntu message (ie linux for human beings))

"Sudo it!" I also like T700's "Free software, but you still have to pay for this magazine."

Re: Ubuntu magazine name

Is there a reason you can't just go with "Ubuntu Monthly"? Why do you marketing types have to make things so complicated?

Re: Ubuntu magazine name

How often is it to be released?
(sorry for not reading but I'm assuming monthly)
Oh, and before you critisize any of my ideas I'm just spitting them out as they come to me... editting ruins any kind of creativity =\

"Ubuntu Monthly Archive"
"THE Community" or "THE Community Magazine"
"Ubuntu Community Forum"

(See definition for forum before anyone flames me:
"# A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such
as a newspaper or a radio or television program. )
"Ubuntu Articles Monthly"
"Read: Ubuntu"
"Archive: Ubuntu"
"Forum: Ubuntu"

(reversing these names is acceptable as well, I just don't feel like typing it)

"Community Speak"
"Ubuntu topics"
"Ubuntu Talk"
"Ubuntu Line"
"Apex Ubuntu"
"Ubuntu Community Connections"
"Connect: Ubuntu"
"Message: Ubuntu"
"Ubuntu People"
"Ubuntu Communal"
"Ubuntu Village"
"Ubuntu Society"
"Ubuntu Digest"
"Ubuntu Halo"
"Ubuntu Clique"
"Around Ubuntu"

I like some of them... they're definitely not all useable... but there they are.

Dude, it's a Linux mag. 95% of the literate population is likely to find it boring, no matter how snazzy the title. Personally, I find the title very WYSIWYG. It's monthly, and it's about Ubuntu.
