Thank you jalladin for the enthusiastic support.

The name is one thing that you can choose calmly, as the project takes shape. I think the top priority that it should be the main category, so that we can create a staff editor of content.

The main idea is to create a magazine that, if printed, it may seem as close and faithful as possible to a magazine sold in newsstands, with a real cover (front and back).

Possibly it could be one day achieve a small software which makes possible the direct download of articles or of entire magazine in a friendly format tablet (a sort of FEEDS READER).

The thing that still must have some relevance is not the Nokia itself, but Mer and Maemo. For example, I also have a SmartQ5 and I'd like to see in the magazine a focus on technical specifications of the device and a guide to install above MER and a list of sites where you can buy it.

One of the concept is: "Why should people choose Android instead of Maemo?". It's time to make it clear that Maemo is a solution that can compete and exceed the expectations of on a global scale.

Your welcome,


I agree, it should clearify a lot of the OS questions... with a catchy title ( yours is fine but I'm just brain storming) like OS SOS, to give more indepth information and steps on how to not only install ( on tablets and other devices like it ) but also how to use for ppl doing it for the first time.

Having some simple non-relative name will give you a special perk so you can write bout something very interesting in mobile linux world and not looking goofy same time
P.S.: Btw, I'm finding name "Maegazine or maemagazinne" uber frustrating, cause peeople don't even know how to spell "maemo" for sure and you think that they will remember that line of letters?)

By the way, In the last few months I've started a blog called 'maemofonino' - it's a crasis of maemo and telefonino which means mobile phone in Italian. I never thought before that Nokia or the Maemo division could be hurted by such a fan site, so, since it seems impossible to PM Qgil, please Nokians out there let me know if I have to cease-and-desist

Hoping I can go on, a co-operation of my blog with the Mae-gazine would be great

When is the Interview qole is doing with Ari Jaaksi coming up?
Could that be the tentative date for the first issue release? Maybe that could be the 'cover story'?

You guys think it would be ready by october... that would be great if it was...


I come to this site a lot and never really looked at the areas that discuss summits and thing of that nature. After peaking around at the link VDVsx gave it looks so interesting but i still dnt know what it is exactly that happens at these meetings. We do ( as a community, represented by a few there ) throwing some ideas at them in hopes of getting more out of our existing tablets or just for future tablets software.

- dnt bite my head of i'm still new

Ok. Now we must take point of the situation.


- The sections that I thought (which will need an editor):

Editorial note (usually a short introduction to each post inserted before summary and written by the Director)

News Update (some pages of short articles from the MID world)

Post readers / Announcements (ie Buy / Sell)

How To

Interviews

Programming & Development

Deep Focus on Fremantle

Deep Focus on MER

Highlights (the best software of the month ...)

Devices (only compatible with Maemo and Mer with TECHNICAL cards and where to buy)




- The names currently proposed

MMagazine

Maegazine or maemagazinne (with the objection raised by wazd)

IT Magazine / Mag IT / Internet Tablet Magazine

Nits' / MID's world

NIT MID & world

MID Magazine / Magazine NIT

maemag



To better understand what I mean to, I thought a real magazine like this
in pdf (or other format).



The date of October for the first issue is realistic, but depends only on the formation of a team seriously, and users who want to engage in the writing of serious and trained articles for each section.
