I am rather on advocate side, promote the distro i use<br> +(Mandriva for the moment, Mageia in the future)<br> +<br> +I want to create a community magazine for Mageia. Instead of creating for just<br> +french community, i want it for the whole community.<br> +<br> +What is needed for it is quite simple :<br> +- writers for articles. Articles can be written by technical or non-technical<br> +people. Articles are on presenting a development, a new technology, a<br> +software, tutorials, report of an event, presentation of community, interview,<br> +etc.<br> +<br> +- translators. I would like to publish each magazine in as many languages<br> +possible, english, french, german, spanish, portuguese, greek, finnish,<br> +italian, ... An article can be written in any language then translate into<br> +english then translate into all other languages.<br> +<br> +- proof-readers to ensure quality of the texts. From my experience there is a<br> +need of 2 or 3 proof reading of each article. maybe a first proof reading in<br> +the first language used is to be set before translation.<br> +<br> +- The work of layout. Scribus is the best for publishing, it is free and free.<br> +With layer i think it is possible to have one layout for all translated<br> +magazines. Layout is also about including images, styles (once defined they<br> +should not change to much, btw use free fonts)<br> +<br> +- Advocates that announce the publication thougout the web<br> +<br> +- (oh, once more, a packager to create the rpm so users of mageia just have to<br> +install an rpm !)<br> +<br> +- i was about to forget : chief editors to shout after writers who promise to<br> +write but did not have time to, to shout after translators who promise to<br> +translate but did not have time to, to shout after proof-readers who promise<br> +to proof-red but..., to shout after layouters who promise ... so you see the<br> +point ;-)<br> +<br> +So, it is a nice stuff, it required manpower. French community was too small<br> +for a release each month (ah, yes, i plan to release it each month), i hope<br> +with an international community it will be easier to fill the magazine.<br> +<br> +What do you think of it ? Am i completely silly or just silly ?<br> +<br> +Feel free to react, comment, agree, join me !<br> +<br> +<br> +--<br> +Olivier Méjean<br> +Président de l'Association des Utilisateurs Francophones de Mandriva Linux<br> +<a href="http://mandrivafr.org" target="_blank">http://mandrivafr.org</a><br> +twitter : obagoom<br> +<a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a> : goom<br> +_______________________________________________<br> +Mageia-dev mailing list<br> +<a href="mailto:Mageia-dev@mageia.org">Mageia-dev@mageia.org</a><br> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev" target="_blank">https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev</a><br> +</blockquote></div><br> |
