[Actionchix] Brainstorm: Creating woman-friendly Linux on-line mag

[Sulamita Garcia]

Rolla, this is an outstanding idea. Please count on me as one of the
writers, read proofing, finding other writers and so. I'm very bad at
making the layout, but I know people who can teach me.

There is some sort of Zines going on here in Brazil, we could have a
LinuxChix Zine. I also will make an effort to create a group to translate
it.

About licensing, I believe there are some sorts of licenses we could look
at, like the GNU FDL, Creative Commons, or just "you can copy, quote or
modify as long as you cite the author/source".

regards,

> Of course, this is a high-level plan, there would still need to be a
