i planned to make the LGMag release a follow up of the LGMag#0 which has 
been published at the LGM 2010.
(i hope that my memory is not playing dirty tricks... but i seem  to 
recall that it  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!).

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.

this was a long term plan. and this would have probably looked quite 
differently than what you are proposing.

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.

so: no, there won't be any LGMag at the next froscamp.


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.


ciao
