Hi everyone. We will be recording FCP ep.2 on Wednesday 11am AEDST (11:00:00 Wednesday April 2, 2008 in Australia/Melbourne converts to
00:00:00 Wednesday April 2, 2008 in GMT). If you are interested, please email me at podcast {AT} fullcirclemagazine DOT org. The recording is laid back and heaps of fun. You need skype to participate. Show notes will be coming soon, so watch this space

It’s time again!  Issue #11 is out – one more until our 1 year anniversary.

Issue 11

This month:

• Linux Mint vs Ubuntu.
• How-To: TrueCrypt on Ubuntu, iPod Classic & Amarok, Introduction to LaTeX and more!
• Review of an old Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop running Ubuntu.
• Letters, Q & A, My Desktop, Top 5 and more!

So here’s the plan:

• I post Ronnie’s idea and take all the credit for it
• You guys come up with a selection of free and open source online games that we could play.
• After a week or so, or after we have enough ideas, I’ll post again (on our forum) with a poll so we can vote for a game.
• Once we have decided on a game, we’ll find a victim kind person to host a Full Circle tournament, then come up with some rules.
• We’ll set up a leaderboard, and we can compete for the title of “Full Circle Gamer of the Month” (or a better title if you can come up with one).
• The person that is leading at the time of the magazines release will be crowned with the monthly title we decide on.
• At the end of the year, the person that has won the most months will get “Full Circle Gamer of the Year”!

We may also rotate the game each month, or every couple of months, depending on how it goes. If we do this we’ll create a new poll so a new Game can be decided on.

Put your game idea on this post here on our forum… 

Let the games BEGIN!
