Guys,

What I was thinking, I talking about this last year, instead of doing
a publish magazine, let do something like Ubuntu Full Circle, a PDF.
I think bi-year or quartely would be great.

The future is e-publishing. I think it would be create to create
something that people can carry around.

That's my thought. Guys, I have publish magazine, that what my major
was in college, ( Photo/Radia/Publishing) not computers.

I can scan some samples if need be.

Chuck
