Buffalo Internet and Computer Magazine

[Robert Romito]

It's a monthly publication.  And I haven't contacted them yet.  I don't 
know if they're even open to the idea.  Just wanted to see what people 
on the list thought of the idea.  So I wouldn't spend an entire weekend 
writing an article just yet.  I was thinking  we could talk about this 
at our May meeting and bounce around a few ideas before submitting 
anything.  Once we agree on an idea, I'll contact the editor and see 
what she thinks.

Since we've got a multi-distribution mix, perhaps we could have 
different people write different reviews / intros to their favorite 
distribution.  Then it would truely be a group excercise (I'm presuming 
that other members want to contribute).  Doesn't have to be elaborate or 
fancy.  Perhaps a paragraph on Mandrake, Slackware, and RedHat.  Throw 
in an intro and summary and you've got an article that didn't take too 
much of one person's time.  I know that many of us are very busy with 
other things, including myself.  Don't want to take on a project that 
would be too much work! ;-)

Any other ideas?

Robert Romito.
