So...where is it? :)

Does anyone know of an Ubuntu Magazine that's in print? Even if it's just a PDF magazine, I would love to subscribe to something like this, and I am a tightwad.

Sure, those normal magazines with "LINUX" in all caps, italicized, are cool, but I'd like to know that I'm reading a mag that's a bit more narrowed down
(and perhaps doesn't use the color blue so much) ;)

You know, that'd be a really funky idea if it isnt already in motion... id like to read something like that also... and each week you can have updates of how to's and what not in it... yeah this would be an awsome idea...

A PDF one makes sense; no print costs, readable online, yet easily printable.

I have heard rumors, but so far this is all I have found...don't get too excited until you have taken a look.

Well, the domain name exists anyway.

I actually had this same idea the other day. I'd love to get involved with that if it exists.

Interesting, matthew...I hope some good comes of that site, whatever it is.

I have a bunch of friends who are subscribed to PDF mags, and I've seen a few trial issues of one. It was just like reading a normal magazine, and it had suggestions on how to print it out and save it properly, etc. Very cool.

Breaks, I agree that howtos would be great...think of people paid to come up with Ubuntu tips! I'm drooling.

WoW! Ubuntu Magazine!! That will be really awesome!! And I won't get mad if I have to pay for is as long as it is a phisical Magazine (not PDF, if it is PDF I prefer it to be free). A Magazine specilized in Ubuntu Linux..... there is LINUX Magazine (http://www.linux-magazine.com/) though: http://www.linux-magazine.com/ or http://www.linux-magazine.co.uk/ :D

Getting started as PDF si a good idea. I will subscribe to it as soon it is avaiable !! :D :p

The idea is being kicked around by the members of the new marketing team. Their mailing list is here:
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

It is based on the older idea seen at the ubuntumagazine.com website.

I think it is a great idea. Id love to help out!

And if it was PDF, that would be best. You dont need to buy a magazine factory to print it out and mail to people ;)
