[Ubuntu-US-CA] Future articles for Full Circle Magazine.

[charlie]

Hey all! I wanted to get this out to all of you about something I'm 
really passionate about. As some of you may know already, I've got a 
huge desire to promote not just our team, the Ubuntu California loco 
team, but Ubuntu and its derivatives, as hard as I can while 
contributing in whatever ways I'm able to and that includes writing 
articles for a well known free magazine called Full Circle Magazine 
<www.fullcirclemagazine.org>. This independent publication's created and 
published by Ronnie Tucker in the U.K. and he's been doing a phenomenal 
job of reporting everything concerning Ubuntu. And the contributions of 
its readers are excellent!

And now, I'm doing the same thing. Not only will I be reviewing software 
and doing opinion pieces, but I'm also going to be doing personal 
interviews with anyone who's involved with Ubuntu on any level. Whether 
you just use it as a general user or do programming or even work as an 
administrator of an IT department where Ubuntu reigns supreme.

No matter your skill level or involvement with Ubuntu, I want to 
interview you. What I've got to offer is a questionnaire of some general 
questions and then some more directed ones that focus on some current 
events and I'm looking for any and all who want to participate in this.

But why personal interviews? One main reason. It's YOU that puts Ubuntu 
on the map. It's YOU that works behind the scenes, even as a general 
user who knows how to file bug reports and that's it. It's YOU who's 
important and I think personal interviews of the people who use Ubuntu 
on a daily basis need to be heard from.

Sure, Full Circle Magazine does offer opinion articles and reviews and 
even how-to's. But, I feel there's a major need to take a look at the 
individuals responsible for all of this stuff, and that's where you come 
in. I want to pick your brain as much as I can for this.

Now, for the disclaimer. The questionnaire I mentioned isn't quite ready 
just yet since this is the first time I've ever done anything with 
journalism. It's a refreshing step outside of my circle of usual areas 
of interest and I'm super happy to be adding this to my list. I'm only 
doing a questionnaire type of interview because I'm very limited in 
resources to travel to you to do a face-to-face interview and I know 
your time's precious and I don't want to take away from that if I can 
help it.

So, in closing, if you're interested in participating in this 
questionnaire interviews, please let me know. You can reply to this 
email or send one directly to me and when the questionnaire's finally 
done, I'll inform you and if you're still interested, I'll send a copy 
to you. And just so you know, anyone can contribute to it as long as 
it's related to Ubuntu and its derivatives.

Talk with you soon!
