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! 

Happy New Year! A special thanks to all of our readers, developers, contributors, writers, editors, and everyone else who has made Full Circle Magazine possible. Again, thank you!

We’ve created a Google Calendar with upcoming Full Circle-related events (and a few Ubuntu-related ones, too). You can hop on over to http://www.fullcirclemagzine.org/calendar to take a look or add us if you have a Google account. All times will be in UTC, so you will need to add/take hours as necessary.

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?

Have you ever wondered how Full Circle got its start?  What our past websites have looked like?  Well, you can take a look here and see our past websites and the discussion on UbuntuForums that started it all.  Have fun!

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! 

We now have US Letter versions of English #1-#4. A big thanks to Michael Hill (belboz on UbuntuForums) for the reformatting! They are available on the respective download pages.

Many people have been wanting to receive an email when a new issue of full circle is released. We now have a way to do that – simply register for an account on this news blog and we’ll email you when we release a new issue or have any important announcements. Thanks!
