as said in ginger's mail we're working on a plan for a long term
magazine.<br>
A plan that allow us to produce a more coherent and solid output.
One that can be sustained on a regular publication schedule.<br>
This doesn't mean that we're reclaiming the right to be the only
ones to edit a magazine.<br>
We're proposing for the LG Magazine specifically but there's
plenty of space for other publications dedicated to libre
graphics.<br>
<br>
I don't see why not to make the froscamp mag with the resources
you have - the people you've already contacted.<br>
I just wonder why to insist on naming it LGMag if we already
stated the need to make the LGMag something more than the product
of three day sprint.<br>

i planned to make the LGMag release a follow up of the LGMag#0 which
has been published at the LGM 2010.<br>
(i hope that my memory is not playing dirty tricks... but i seemĀ to
recall that itĀ was mostly my idea to produce a LGMag#0 at the LGM
2010... and i've been discussing about a LGMag for more than a year
with several people. no, i don't reclaim any exclusive or priority
right on the LGMag: but since misunderstanginds seem to happen quite
often on this list, i prefer to say it openly and explain why --
after the LGMag had been produced by ana, ginger and ricardo -- i
come out with the idea of producing a LGMag with a different crew!).<br>
<br>
it would have been a similar type of magazine, done in a similar way
(well, a bit more organized and with more time for collecting the
content but also a short sprint at the end to layout it), with the
same name. using as optimally as possible the few resources we
currently have at hand.<br>
<br>
this was a long term plan. and this would have probably looked quite
differently than what you are proposing.<br>
<br>
i can't do it all alone and i don't think that the LG community
currently has the resources to launch two such projects in parallel.<br>
<br>
so: no, there won't be any LGMag at the next froscamp.<br>
<br>
<br>
once your project will have produced its first fruits, and if i have
the feeling that there is still a need for what i am proposing, i
may come back and try to launch it again.<br>
