Hi Josh
+
+I am replying later than intended.
+
+A newsletter is an ok idea, but I think a free PDF magazine for people 
+to download with a new issue each month, would be a much better idea in 
+the future, when our community is big enough. Something like 
+http://pclosmag.com/ and http://fullcirclemagazine.org ,but aimed at 
+Mageia users and potential Mageia users.
+
+Full Circle Magazine also has a podcast, and having an official podcast 
+for Mageia I think is a great idea. Unfortunately I don't have someone 
+else to do one with at the moment, and I don't want to try and start one 
+on my own. Also my idea for how I would want the podcast to be like, 
+isn't really going to work unless there are enough people who would like 
+to come on as a guest. Ideally I would want most episodes to have a 
+guest. A guest who is a Mageia contributor, or just a user that would 
+like to share their story about why they are using Mageia and what they 
+think of it.
+
+I will be going on three or two podcasts to talk about Mageia 2 :).  
+Possibly more even if other people would like me on theirs.
+
+I assume at the moment with the magazine idea just like with the Mageia 
+podcast idea, currently lacking the helpers. However starting off with a 
+weekly or monthly news letter would probably be much easier at the moment.
+
+With certain Mageia related projects, it really will help to have enough 
+people first that would like to help with the project. Hopefully Mageia 
+2 will bring in a lot of new contributors :).
+
+As for websites, I think that in general the more websites that mention 
+Mageia in a positive way the better for the project :).
