Full Circle developers are currently working on our ‘dream app‘ involving eGroupWare, but we need more developers. Are you good with:

PHP / CSS / JS > AJAX / XML-PRC

If you’d like to help out please contact our Lead Developer (Ttech) at: http://dev.fullcirclemagazine.org/contact-us/

Matthew from Penguin Central!

Matthew will be producing the Full Circle Podcast. No release date as yet but once we know more, we’ll post here and send out an email to all blog members to let you know when episode #1 comes out so if you haven’t registered yet… shame on you! 

Congratulations to Matthew, welcome to the team!

There seems to be some comments saying how difficult it is to download an issue of Full Circle, I’d just like to clarify this:

1. Click the Download tab at the top of the page
2. Click the Issue you would like to download
3. Click the language you would like to download.

Easy as that.

Brian DeLacey, from O’Reilly Media, has written an excellent article about what’s new in Ubuntu 7.10 and has kindly given Full Circle a mention so head over to his article, have a read and give the man a Digg!

We are always in need of How-To articles for Full Circle. If you would like to contribute to the magazine by writing a How-To then the first thing to do is read through our guidelines.

Now that you’ve done that you need to get writing! Stuck for ideas? Well have a look at this piece on our Ubuntu wiki page which lists some ideas that have not been written about as yet.

So your article is written, now what? Well that’s easy; simply attach your article text, and any images, to an email addressed to: articles@fullcirclemagazine.org

Easy as that!

Are you a keen podcaster?
Think you can create an interesting and friendly Ubuntu podcast?

Then why not submit a proposal to be the official full circle podcast?

(more…)

Just a quick reminder that the monthly General Meeting will be taking place this Saturday (8th Sept.) at 1700 UTC in the #fullcirclemagazine channel, on the irc.freenode.net server.

Feel free to pop in, ask questions, give suggestions… even just feedback, we want to know what you, the readers, think.

Edit: The logs are up on the wiki!

English language only at the moment, translations on the way…

We really appreciate every article sent to Full Circle but please: before sending in your articles please take the time to read our Guidelines and our Style Guide as we are receiving more and more articles with terrible spelling and grammar and obviously not checked, this adds greatly to our workload and editing times.

We don’t expect perfection, several errors are to be expected but unfortunately, from now on, articles with large amounts of mistakes may have to be returned to the writer for corrections and this can mean your article may miss the deadline.

Please take the time to read the Guidelines and Style Guide!

Ubuntu Forums have graciously given us a sub-forum on their site. This sub-forum is now our main forum and the current one will be closed. Just log in to Ubuntu Forums with your normal log in and scroll down to 3rd Party Projects and you’ll see a link to ‘Full Circle Magazine‘.

Many thanks to Ubuntu Forums for thinking us worthy of a forum, it really is much appreciated.
