Here is my second Suggestion Mail to LFY .. The list will go on but this
mail won't be too long :P Since I had already mailed you a long list of
suggestion in my previous mail ,I had very few suggestion atm in my mind..So
here you go : -
1. Please please get rid of the Cardboard type Magazine cover that you have
started .. They are big and difficult to carry .. Or if you intentd to
provide the same please include new back covers .. The one Cardboard I got
this month is the one that came with previous issue i.e. The Ubuntu One..
[B]
>> This cardoard is being experimented for North India copies only. So, are
you based in the same region? May I ask which city?[/B]
2. Please inprovde the Media quality. Specially the DVD .. Three times in a
row I wasn't able to use the DVD.. Though I agree that Mandriva has few
issue with my system. but the later 2 the Ubuntu and Fedora was not good..
Ubuntu worked though but after few usage it got corrupted.. Fedora didn't
even load the kernel..Though I got replacement of Fedora.. Thanks for that
:)
[B]>> Have shared some initiatives on that front through a separate email.[/B]
3. Please include more reviews and tip of Linux products.. Like the tip
"Turn cassette into digital audio using Audacity was just too god" .. I
would like to point that LFY article would be much appreciated than
including Linx journal ones. !
[B]
>> Noted. We are now trying to reduce articles from LJ, and increase the
volume of articles written by Indian authors.[/B]
4. Media Covers ? now I think the CD team got me wrong.. I meant both of the
covers.. Confused :P ? Ok the covers I am talking about is the one you call
CD labels and the CD protecting Case.. The DVD covers is fantastic everytime
but I am not happy with the CD one.. Like in the current issue you deliever
the Big Buck Bunny Movie.. Therefore a BBB Cover would be much better..
Secondly I have noticed that you guys stick the CD/DVD's with the cardboard
cover that you deliever. .Removing Medias from it can eventually result in
boken Dics.. as the glue applied is very strong.. I would say please provide
Gwel Case if possible if not try to provide case like the one
Linux-magazine.com comes with..
[B]>> Excellent point. Will try and get the facia of the CD improvised too.[/B]
[B]>> CD TEAM: Pls note this point. Let's get cracking![/B]
5. How about anniversary issue ? Special Pack for more bucks. say 150 ?
With more content and DVD ? More OS ? I think it would be gerat..
[COLOR=Red][B]>>> We are planning a triple DVD issue (Debian), and more.[/B][/COLOR]
6. Please try to include older issues in pdf format .. It will help user
learn quickly and they don't even have to search for old magazine if they
miss any !
[B]
>> This is a tricky one. Some feel we can make money off old issues. Others
believe an annual CD compilation could be a nice gift to incite
subscriptions. While others feel, we should do it for free. No decision as
of now, but let's see what we end up with.
[/B]
7 . Please provide multiple OS review.. I am fed up of Neighbour
child/girl/vendor review ! I am still waiting for a detailed review which I
used to see in older issue..
[B]
>> Noted. Will try and motivate authors to do more detailed reviews. Problem
is--'reviews' are something most authors don't like to take up.[/B]
8. Well since you have finalized next month OS i.e. openSUSE 11.0 . I would
like to add Sabayon 3.5 in your upcoming list.. Just one question .Can we
get OS like Dream Linux, Myah OS , eAR OS, Foresight Linux, Arch Linux ? If
you keep on providing popular distro that keep themselves updated every 6
months ? I think it would be impossible for you to provide 2 OS in a DVD or
CD /? So can you guys start providing 2 DVDs ? or one Dual layer DVD ?
[B]
>> No comments on this one. Let's see. If the sales pick up, and our DVDs
face less isues, then perhaps one day--we will increase the number of DVDs.
Or, we get more advertisers ;-)[/B]
9. How about a newbie guide to Python ! I wanna learn it but don't know
where to get started..
[B]
>> I think we have done a series on that. Requesting ATANU DATTA to confirm
the issues and topics.[/B]
That's it for now..I am too tired to write anymore.I just think hope that my
mails aren't getting a burden for you ?
[B]>> No burden at all. It was fun. Keep writing :-)[/B]
