[ILUG] Market For An Irish Linux Mag?

[Glen Gray]

I would definately be interested in supporting it. 
I felt the same about Linux Format but I'm a little disappointed with
their progress or lack off. My subscription runs out soon and I was
planning on getting a Linux Journal/Linux Magazine subscription in
stead. I probably still will do that but I'd still be prepared to
support an Irish Linux Magazine.

Failing actually publishing a printed magazine, how about directing all
that journalistic effort towards articles for Linux.ie. Would we be able
to have a section off the main site devoted to a magazine style site
with web advertising ???
