Main concerns were about the diff between us and the newsletter. We defined out core audience as people that might be
 * interested in Linux (but not using it yet)
 * switching distros
 * beginners
 * normal everyday users

''(Jenda: very vague definitions... this entours just about anyone who has ever used Ubuntu or even just heard of it. I think the main target audience should be the people who use Ubuntu, but don't directly participate in community business)'' '''IRC:''' ''[[http://irc.fullcirclemagazine.org/|#fullcirclemagazine]]'' on ''chat.freenode.net''

''(KenSentMe: @Jenda: Why should users contribute to the community. Maybe a lot of potentional users don't even want to participate in the community.)'' '''Editor:''' Ronnie Tucker (aka: RonnieTucker) - ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org
Line 37: Line 23:
We talked about the method of delivery and most of us agree that we want a html website with a .pdf and .txt version available as well.

''(not sure why .txt format is needed. more often than not, readers will either have access to the net or take advantage of out-of-box ubuntu's PDF-support. text-only format would only be useful to those who only have console access, which would be a *very* minor percentage of the reader-base. plus, you can't use graphics/pictures to illustrate articles. references to screen-shots or websites would be meaningless. --digitalmouse)''

We then had a collaborative draft using Gobby and realized a theme oriented magazine would be best.

Please see our [/TableOfContents] page for our working model.

= Guidelines =

The single rule for an article is; it must somehow be linked to Ubuntu or one of the many derivatives of Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu etc).

'''Please follow these rules :'''

 * For advice, please refer to our '''Official Style Guide''': http://url.fullcirclemagazine.org/75d471

 * Write your article in whichever software you choose, I would recommend Libre``Office or Google Docs, but most importantly - '''PLEASE SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK IT!'''

 * Do NOT format your article with bold/italic/tables. Formatting will be added when it is pasted into Scribus.

 * Insert images into your article by embedding the image in the ODT (Open Office) or Google Docs document.

 * Images should be JPG, no wider than 1000 pixels, and use low compression.

 * If you are writing a review, please follow the guidelines on the /MonthlyReviews page.

When you are ready to submit your article please email it to: articles@fullcirclemagazine.org

We always need help with articles. If you need ideas then check our /HowTo page.

If your native language is not English, don't worry, write your article and one of the team will proof-read it for you and email you with recommended change so not only are you helping the magazine and the community but we'll help you with your English!

If you want to drop us some Linux news, please email it to news@fullcirclemagazine.org.

Your comments and suggestions should be emailed to letters@fullcirclemagazine.org
