hi ana,
as said in ginger's mail we're working on a plan for a long term magazine.
A plan that allow us to produce a more coherent and solid output. One
that can be sustained on a regular publication schedule.
This doesn't mean that we're reclaiming the right to be the only ones
to edit a magazine.
We're proposing for the LG Magazine specifically but there's plenty of
space for other publications dedicated to libre graphics.
I don't see why not to make the froscamp mag with the resources you
have - the people you've already contacted.
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.
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
