Because of two issues: 1 - We are not a legal company that produces a magazine. We are a non formal organization. 2 - We have no incomes, so we have no money to pay for that. That doesn't mean that International Magazine couldn't do it. I think, once TDF is legalized, maybe it could be done. > > Cheers > > Marc > Cheers.

[libreoffice-projects] [magazine] question about authors
Hi, I reached out to a professional writer with a strong connection to FOSS and OO.o/Libo specifically, asking if he had an recommendations on possible writers. I'm betting you can guess his first question. To paraphrase - is it 100% or are we willing to compensate for professional talent? He also said that he could recommend folks that may do it gratis but that would be a much smaller pool of candidates. So - the question is - what are the thoughts on using some professional talent? Thanks Drew ps - I'll hold back on his name on the ML but certainly willing to pass it along via PM. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
