I would love to have LinuxFormat (or any other high-quality GNU/Linux magazine published in India). > As a publisher we want to learn from the Indian Linux community and > potential readers: > 1. Whether the Linux users in India like to read an international > magazine dedicated to Linux? Yes, of course. There is a great market for a high-quality magazine dedicated to (GNU/)Linux in India. > 2. Would they be interested in subscribing to such a magazine. Yes, why not. I for one used to read the other Linux magazine available in India. I stopped reading it after an year because of their poor quality of articles and over-all content and of course their (the publishing house's) lack of knowledge about GNU/Linux. The magazine that's available in India lacks quality material. So I for one would really appreciate a magazine that has good content and is managed by knowledgeable people. > 3. What would be the most the most attractive cover-price in Indian > Rupees? (The internatonal edition of Linuxformat is available in > select bookstores of Mumbai. A single issue costs an exorbitant 600+ > Rupees). INR 100 would be fine for most people, I guess. Personally I am ready to pay upto INR 150 if the quality is excellent.
