Orbiter Magazine

[tl8]

Comes from Dan Stephs forum: The creation of a monthly (or when ever) magazine that highlights orbiter, tutorials and addons. A graphic artist and an editor would be the first requirements.

:speakcool:

I would certainly buy it!

Sounds really cool.

But are you talking about a real magazine or an ezine because it would be quite hard to distribute an Orbiter mag in real life seeing as the community is so widespread...

 

[tl8]

See: http://orbitermag.dansteph.com/
It would be free, and probable end up on the net

Thats great, but its all in French....?

 

[Chipstone306]

Any way to get it in english?:blink:

Hence why we should create our own. If you want to read parts of it, use google translator.

If no one is volunteering, I will be the first editor. But we will still need a graphics artist to design the layout, and title. PLEASE

Well, I might be able to do the graphics artist, but this will take a little more work, what program are you planning on using to make this? If you have a pdf maker that would be the best

 

[unussapiens]

I know it may not be the best program, but OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) can export to PDF and is free.

I can probably help with this. Though I don't know how much time I could dedicate to it weekly. Would this be a one time thing I need to make or something that changes weekly, monthly, or .. ?

Thanks VERY much, you don't know how helpful that was, (outside orbiter, in my regular school activity's)

well i have a few months free now: 1st realese for December. Will get people organised as soon as I can.

For Tex, probably monthly cover. Maybe be change it, but will work on that.

 

[Tex]

Monthly is np. Infact, once I get the basic design in Photoshop it's not hard to change text, images, etc.

So I guess all I need is the title of this project. What text will go on the cover?

 

[tl8]

Orbiter Mag

Plus the topics covered

 

[Tex]

Shouldn't we call it something different from Dan's idea? Like maybe... oh I dunno, Obiter-Forum Magazine.. lol! Nah, seriously, anything different, y/n?

 

[tl8]

Vote, guys suggest a few names and i'll put a poll up

[SIZE=-1]You know, for all space flight enthusiasts, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things... (sound familiar? although true)

How about The orbiter Profit ? (I don't know, naming things is my worst subject:dry
