[ILUG] Market For An Irish Linux Mag?

[Markus Rieder]

There is not onlt the c't magazine in Germany they do have 
a magazine called "iX" which covers the whole uniX range.

the site in English: http://www.heise.de/ix/default_en.shtml

Apart from that I would agree with Caolan, do a test run on
the web first and have a look how many hits you get.

Don't know if the irish market is large enough for a linux only mag, you
could go somewhere with an alternative os magazine to suck in some more
users. And make a pilot for a number of months with a webonly edition 
to gauge interest and build a user profile for advertising and
determining
desired content. 

Contact c't magazine in germany and cover their stories translated :-)
