Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback I've got so far. I was a bit surprised how many people responded :) I think we're ready to start talking about a what it's going to look like and who wants to do what. To keep discussions from filling up the TLUG list, I've started up an open yahoo group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yyztech/ where we can hash out ideas. Naturally this is open to anyone who wants to drop in. Based on what people have said, I've come up with a list of things that the new newspaper should have. This can be considered a starting point, it's by no means fixed. --- Proposed Sections --- Letters, Editorial, Cartoon page Geek Gadgets (news on what's new in phones, toys, maybe the odd music reviews, Linux games) Magazine roundup (what other Linux magazines are covering) Free User-group announcements (guest speakers, upcoming events, new groups) Reviews (books, software) 2-3 general articles Monthly Poll (results taken from a poll done on the web site) Fave-Links (favourite links submitted to website by visitors) Weird facts (statistics, quotes, etc.) Free user group listings (group, website, ) Buy/sell classifieds with web listing as well Website: www.yyztech.ca already registered, website coming soon Only Selected articles will be online, but a full table of contents will be available (see: http://www.maisonneuve.org/ for an example) classifieds (mirror print edition) Perhaps an online Linux-skills database? Distribution: Colleges, universities, private tech schools, coffee shops, computer shops user-group subscription rate (user group gets 10-20 copies sent to one address) Individual subscription rate While I'm sure most of us are getting into holiday mode soon, lets talk about this some more so we can hit the round running in January, Zoltan YYZtech group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yyztech/ -- The Toronto Linux Users Group. Meetings: http://tlug.ss.org TLUG requests: Linux topics, No HTML, wrap text below 80 columns How to UNSUBSCRIBE: http://tlug.ss.org/subscribe.shtml
