This evening I had a chance to do some work on the magazine have a sneak peek available. In other words, only the cover of the magazine . So far, I have @joe who has been gracious enough to write an article and as you can see, I am working on one for magazine. There’s still a need for at least one more article in my mind so if anyone cares to write an article, do the following if you could:
Do a git checkout on the issue1vol1 branch of the repo
Write said article (guidlines are in the repo under the article_text folder/sample_text.txt)
Make a pull request
Feel free to ping me on this forum for questions or concerns
(Apologies to @jeremy for the next phrase)
And now…sneak peak of Bad Voltage Magazine:
Why a magazine in the traditional sense rather than some other form of collaborative publishing? (Maybe a Jekyll based site to maximise GitHub functionality)
Might it be worth finding out from the guys if the BV logo is usable, and which font was used to create it?
To answer your queries:
I made up the ISBN from scribus barcode creator (not intending to really use the ISBN for anything)
I am not sure what you mean by Sub editing for certain but if that’s an offer to help with editing, then absolutely. I never turn down help when I can.
I haven’t given any thought to another form of collaborative publishing to be honest. I just ran with a magazine since the topic title was that got this all started was "Bad Voltage Magazine"
I haven’t thought to ask about using the BV logo and the font until you brought it up. @jonobacon, if it is permissible to use the BV logo and font, who would have those assets? I will make sure to attribute their work in the magazine according to their licensing.
If it’s not a real ISBN (and in fact, an ISSN would probably be more appropriate), then get rid of it, it’s pointless
I mean taking the content and ensuring spelling, grammar, etc are proper, and also ensuring no-one is saying something potentially illegal (e.g. libelous).
