Hi everyone, Just got notes back from the magazine editor, we can begin writing! I liked Jackson's idea for collaboratively editing them all. Each of us will still write our own, just have it available as a collaborative document either with Google Docs or pad.ubuntu.com just in case we get busy/pulled way or whatever we'll at least have a start (if you aren't a member of the team that can edit things on pad.ubuntu.com you can request to be added, I'm an admin of the etherpad launchpad team).
Each article should be 2 to 8 printed pages, each page should expect to have have 2500 characters and 2 screen shots/images. For reference, he also wrote: "Please remember to keep community and technical subjects wisely balanced. First, we'd like to convince people to Xubuntu. When they find this OS exciting - we can show them a community path. Anyway, I consider an article "Experiences, challenges and the reasons I settled on Xubuntu" as a technical one :)" As a reminder, here's the list of articles: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Marketing/Magazine2013 If you see one that's "Unassigned" please volunteer to write it! And it looks like we could use a couple more "get excited about Xubuntu" articles :) On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 12:04 PM, Elizabeth Krumbach <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jackson, > > I sent an email off to the magazine editor to get approval on our > article list and to get some clarification as to page/article length > (how many words per page, etc).
