Help me make a free 'buntu emag...

[el mariachi]

This is just a sketch... I got a bit overexcited , wrote i bit too much, but few about what i was supposed to write.

Anyway check it out. (do also mail it?)

I would love to write about MS doing bad things, and the general annoyingness of microsoft. I love to be annoying, and I hate microsoft.

Also I have nothing to do half the time so im always bored.

I don't think we should do that... that wouldn't be very "ubuntu" or humane. we should show people what ubuntu can do by itself, not what others fail at. Windows and Mac are both good OS's, we just want people to realize that Ubuntu is better

I would have to agree with el mariachi. Whilst it may be felt inside, it is not the Ubuntu way to put down others. It is far better to show the wonders of the alternatives than slag the competition.

The philosophy of MS was probably right when it started, and has driven many things that may not be here today. However, we know that when the public become aware of the positives of FOSS, it is more likely to promote better change than one with ill-feeling attached.

With global warming, industrialisation was right at the time, but now public awareness is able to promote change to a more beneficial attitude

bashing windows is definetly not the way to go.
btw: i sent an article to the mailing lists. do i have to send it on the website too to get it submited or?... and maybe all the people involved could give their real and full name, so we won't be stuck with nicknames.

yeah... where's that editor-in-command? lol do we send our stuff to the mail group to be reviewed by everyone?

When your article is all written and spell checked, attach it and any screens to an email and send it to me : ronnie [at] ronnietucker.co.uk

I'll probably take down the mailing list to be honest, it was put up incase Ubuntu Forums didn't want us discussing it on their bandwidth

I'll email some details to linuxgeekery to put on the website with regards to submitting articles...

Thanks guys!

[mykalreborn]

i've sent my article.
btw. what about the thing with the real names? i know it's not that important, but still...
soon i think we'll need our own subforum.

[Mateo]

sent mine as well.

[ronniet]

Thanks guys, got 'em!

I agree that we probably should use our real names. At the end of each article I have a box there for the author so that they can put in a short bio or avatar or something?

I've also emailed Canonical to get their blessing on the logo and layout, i'll let you all know how it goes.

Oh, and feel free to use the site forum too if you have any questions...

I'll get a .org for it soon...
