| ## guys, i've added the categories as pages since if everything is on one page we'd all be trying to edit one page, possibly at the same time, and this would cause problems. | ## guys, i've added the categories as pages since if everything is on one page we'd all be trying to edit one page, possibly at the same time, and this would cause problems - Ronnie |

| This section is for news and info related to all flavours, and derivatives, of Ubuntu and within the Linux world in general. | Four weeks is a long time in the Linux world and '''fullcircle''' will bring you all the best news from around the internet. ---- |

| Explain, step-by-step, the installation of an Ubuntu derived OS. What will it ask? What does it install? Not so much a review, more of a showcase. | Scared to install a flavour of Linux? Fear not, read through these installs to see ''exactly'' what you'll be asked. ---- |
| Line 64: | Line 64: |
| This section could focus primarily on the average, everyday, non-techie who has made the switch to Ubuntu and has submitted their story. | Do you have a quirky story to tell? Maybe how you finally snapped and took the plunge and installed Linux? Or do you have an opinion you want to get across? This is the place... ---- |
| Line 68: | Line 70: |
| Readers who have something to say or discuss. This would also include snippets from the various 'buntu mailing lists and forums. Entire, full, threads welcome. | Your emails and all the best bits from your favourite Linux forums to help start lively debate... ---- |
| Line 72: | Line 76: |
| Where readers can review software that they personally use, this can also include hardware but with hardware please state if the hardware comes with Linux 'drivers' or they have to be obtained elsewhere. | Not sure if a piece of software is for you? Not sure what a piece of software even ''does''? Not only software but there's hardware reviews in here too. You might even find some game reviews too! ---- |
| Line 76: | Line 82: |
| These would be, again, related to any Ubuntu derived OS. They must be detailed and have relevant screens where necessary. General rule; the more screens the better. Also the writer must say which 'buntu distros the article is applicable to. You can write on ANYthing you wish. Installing/configuring distro's, apps, games, whatever... as long as it runs on some form of Ubuntu. | This is the real meat of the magazine, the How-to section. Here you'll find out how to install, configure or just tinker with various applications... ---- |
| Line 80: | Line 88: |
| Where someone interviews a person within the 'buntu circle. This can be anyone from a forum mod to a 'buntu developer. Preferably the interviewee would be announced the issue before the interview, thus giving readers the chance to submit their questions. | We take a personality from the Linux community and put them under the spotlight. You ask the questions... ---- |
| Line 84: | Line 94: |
| Here people can list/compile lists of their top 5, top 10 (or whatever) apps, games and other quirky Linux lists... | Wonder what the Top music players are? Or what the Top internet applications are? Find out here. We aim to bring you some of the more obscure apps... ---- |
| Line 88: | Line 100: |
| Readers can send in a screengrab of their desktop and explain how they got that desktop. What background are they using? What font(s)? Any extra widgets or applications that you had to install/configure? |
Your so proud of your desktop yet you've nowhere to show it off? You do now. As well as desktops we'll also be showing you some awesome machines... |

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 :
Write your article in whichever software you choose, I would recommend OpenOffice, but most importantly - PLEASE SPELL CHECK IT!
- In your article, please indicate where you would like a particular image to be placed.
- Images should be either JPG or PNG. If you must use JPG please use very little compression.
- Regarding image sizes; if in doubt, send a full size screengrab and we will reduce the size before publication.
We always need help with articles. Articles can be of anything as long as it follows the single rule mentioned above. If you can't write articles but hang out in forums, send us interesting forum threads that we could print. If your native language is not English, don't worry, write your article and one of us on the team will proof-read it for you, not only are you helping the magazine and the community but we'll help you with your English!
When you are completely satisfied with your article either add it to the relevant wiki page below or email it to articles@fullcirclemagazine.org
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
Article Editing on the Wiki
Collaboration between writers and community is highly encourage but can also destroy a writers article. Please; if you think an article needs major changes, contact the writer to discuss the changes first. Many writers do not want someone changing half their article, and rightly so...
Article Ideas
Add your ideas and articles into the correct category page below. If you want to use an idea for an article, please place your name beside the idea you wish to use. Also if you are working on an article, add it here and place your name beside it so that someone else doesn't work on a similar article.
