[CREATE] Send your project's press releases to the Swiss "Publisher" magazine!

["Christoph Schäfer"]

Hi all,

The Swiss "Publisher" Magazine (www.publisher.ch), one of this year's LGM sponsors, seems to have intensified its reporting about FLOSS Graphics not only with respect to featured articles, but also in its "News" section recently. Hence my suggestion for projects that are relevant for a magazine dedicated to professional publishing (print and digital) to send the editors press releases and/or release notes, provided your software also runs on either Windows or Mac OS X, or both. The current issue provides a featured article on Scribus, as well as two news items on Inkscape and Krita!

It would be even better to write a short text (max: 3 short paragraphs) in German, using Swiss spelling and typography in case you have native-speaker of German in your team. Swiss spelling mostly comes down to not using the ß-ligature (replace it with "ss"), and Swiss typography means using guillemets as in French, but *without* thin spaces. If possible/desirable, you can also add a screenshot as a PNG. The magazine uses Apache OpenOffice for word processing, so ODT files are fine. If you are sending them a text, please don't forget to add a link to your project's website at the end of the article.

You can send your press releases/news articles to news at publisher.ch.

While Switzerland is a small country, its industry, alongside Belgian, German and Japanese companies, belongs to the world leaders in printing technology, which is why "Publisher" is being read well beyond the Swiss borders. Thus, being mentioned in this publication helps to appear on the radar of professional users, at least in large parts of Europe.


Best,
Christoph
