Quoting Hemant Charya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi, I am Hemant Charya. I work for a major publishing house in Mumbai, India. We intend to make Linuxformat magazine availabe in India, at Indian prices. Linuxformat magazine is very popular in UK . It is accompanied by a DVD (July '06 DVD contains: Polished Mandriva spin-off PCLinuxOS, and rock-solid enterprise-ready CentOS, KOffice 1.5, Oracle 10g XE, games and more As a publisher we want to learn from the Indian Linux community and potential readers: 1. Whether the Linux users in India like to read an international magazine dedicated to Linux?
Should be full of tech articles then of ads.
2. Would they be interested in subscribing to such a magazine.
You need to taste the water to find if its drinkable :)
3. What would be the most the most attractive cover-price in Indian Rupees? (The internatonal edition of Linuxformat is available in select bookstores of Mumbai. A single issue costs an exorbitant 600+ Rupees).
Check out the competition, everyone is having similar proposition at Rs. 80-100 with DVD and stuff (make sure your DVDs work unlike the current competition)
Your feedback is extremely valuable for us. Only you can help us bring an awesome monthly read purely about Linux and at affordable Indian prices.
Affordable India price would be offcourse Rs. 0 :)
The highlights of the July '06 issue of LinuxFormat are below. * Top kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman explains why binary drivers are evil * Lessons in Linux - In-depth feature on Linux growth in schools and universities * Reviews - Ubuntu 6.06, Oracle 10g Express Edition, Second Life, GnuCash 2.0, Ogre 3D 1.2, books, blog engines...
