There is one last chance thought - if I somehow manage to increase the sale= s figures in stores the magazine will be published. I was given only one week (till Monday). Not much, but better than nothing. I think it is worth tryin= g! I can't do it alone -so I am asking you for your help and support. I know m= ost of you are already helping and I am really thankful for that. If you could help me to promote the magazine on all forums, portals, blogs = or anywhere else I would be really grateful. I have attached the cover of the most current issue of BSD magazine if you would like to use it. Please spread the word about BSD magazine! Also, I would like thank you for all great articles, support, precious comments and helping hand whenever we need it! best regards Karolina -- Linux+ DVD BSD magazine Karolina Lesi=F1ska Product Manager /////////////////////////////////////////////// Software Press Sp.z.o.o SK Bokserska 1 02-682 Warszawa Poland phone number: 1-917-338 - 3631 fax: +48 22 244 24 59 www.lpmagazine.org/en www.bsdmag.org --001636458dc01406df046da868c4-- From owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jul 1 18:57:22 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: advocacy@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5A1D0106564A for ; Wed, 1 Jul 2009 18:57:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gamaral@amaral.com.mx) Received: from mail-gx0-f210.google.com (mail-gx0-f210.google.com [209.85.217.210]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F43B8FC19 for ; Wed, 1 Jul 2009 18:57:21 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gamaral@amaral.com.mx) Received: by gxk6 with SMTP id 6so373184gxk.19 for ; Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:57:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.90.49.8 with SMTP id w8mr8519584agw.22.1246472990173; Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:29:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from amaral.com.mx (201.170.244.182.dsl.dyn.telnor.net [201.170.244.182]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id 36sm3668709agc.20.2009.07.01.11.29.47 (version=SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5); Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:29:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: by amaral.com.mx (nbSMTP-1.00) for uid 1001 (using TLSv1/SSLv3 with cipher RC4-MD5 (128/128 bits)) gamaral@amaral.com.mx; Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:28:55 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:28:47 -0700 From: Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas To: Matt Olander Message-ID: <20090701182847.GA1504@daedalus.localdomain> References: <200907011536.20404.karolina.lesinska@lpmagazine.org> <9740caf0907011039m553f8197ya39c35a47875aeb3@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <9740caf0907011039m553f8197ya39c35a47875aeb3@mail.gmail.com> X-Operating-System: FreeBSD/7.2-STABLE (i386) X-Crypto: GnuPG/2.0.11 http://www.gnupg.org X-GPG-Key: http://dl.guillermoamaral.com/public.asc X-GPG-Fingerprint: E068 811D 4AA2 7FDA A327 38BD 640D 014C 76FE 7D5A Organization: gamaral User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) Cc: advocacy@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Fwd: Save BSD magazine X-BeenThere: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD Evangelism List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:57:22 -0000 --bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Wed, Jul 01, 2009 at 10:39:34AM -0700, Matt Olander wrote: > We are in contact with them in an attempt to save the magazine.

It was completely logical ... it was a "we process subscriptions in batches= , hence, we can't add items". Well .. I actually wanted to add issue number 2 of the BSD Mag to my 7.1 shipment .. the problem was (and it still is .. an= d it got even worse in the last few months) that the dollar-peso ratio went u= p too high too fast and paying a 15+ dollars for shipment on a 15 dollars mag didn't make any sense at all :s Would there be a way to do that in the future? I mean, add items to a subscriber's order ... specially BSD Mag issues (or back issues :s) Anyways ... I just signed up to a 12 months .pdf subscription (starting fro= m issue 3) through the BSD Mag web site. And just for the record, as I posted on the BSD Mag Forum, I've been postin= g about every BSD Mag issue and its corresponding link to the freebsdmall for more than a year now .. but apparently that didn't help at all .. I guess the language and the price tag make it kind of impossible to sell the mag outside the U.S. - U.K./E.U markets .. specially in Latin America :( Hope they can make it :) Best Regards Gonzalo Nemmi From owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jul 2 19:04:50 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: advocacy@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 023F61065679; Thu, 2 Jul 2009 19:04:50 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mattjeet@gmail.com) Received: from mail-yx0-f181.google.com (mail-yx0-f181.google.com [209.85.210.181]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 962CF8FC1D; Thu, 2 Jul 2009 19:04:49 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mattjeet@gmail.com) Received: by yxe11 with SMTP id 11so2717309yxe.3 for ; Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:04:49 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:sender:reply-to:received :in-reply-to:references:date:x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject :from:to:cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; bh=oFmbTl6yTkvih4VfLQ1564XFF5eTIP/GN+owGmk1wn4=; b=GDeFYv+KdvBZ8XxtmtQSPjdYDl+Z1Wz0vKlkF06NWKMeAKaCpqQhACR/WeaJY4wiL+ DgTgnhPwN0AIDPr1AptoDA7n/YYwwCtTvH+TN8pfNmy9Vrwt+npg5qct7Ob5Dj48af53 m7eypDbeG055FS8SMHLTfYdLbEJ17SZWg382c= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:sender:reply-to:in-reply-to:references:date :x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; b=PB5dzl60mmLl2MLUL9v3XiLNJd13phz/+g18Jw40ZXnx5e4zkqSJ02DE4wmQZXKbvs B4tmctm/7pd00TGTNvv1AHcX8ejtE10zpEUvtquLk9ij9YN0bqyVwVZjaQi5StzhwUKp eGGmXbnheKIoHH78W6EejRi+lEl+gQZsFxHBk= MIME-Version: 1.0 Sender: mattjeet@gmail.com Received: by 10.231.11.136 with SMTP id t8mr680125ibt.50.1246561488952; Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:04:48 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: References: <200907011536.20404.karolina.lesinska@lpmagazine.org> <9740caf0907011039m553f8197ya39c35a47875aeb3@mail.gmail.com> <20090701182847.GA1504@daedalus.localdomain> <9740caf0907011201l218380aclc6548fe8c1068fc6@mail.gmail.com> <9740caf0907011213u23ba8cd9k176f6e967599e559@mail.gmail.com> Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 12:04:48 -0700 X-Google-Sender-Auth: 40040f6dd10f82ca Message-ID: <9740caf0907021204r2af81b5cp376be66906655bcb@mail.gmail.com> From: Matt Olander To: Dru Lavigne Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: advocacy@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Save BSD magazine X-BeenThere: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: matt@ixsystems.com List-Id: FreeBSD Evangelism List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:04:50 -0000 On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Dru Lavigne wrote: > >> > Does FreeBSD Mall ship internationally?

It seems we are having an effect! I received an email from Karolina, the Chief Editor, last night. She says that there has been a noticeable increase and the publisher is willing to consider keeping it going, especially in electronic form. It's still up in the air until after this weekend. If they decide to keep publishing, I am going to pitch them on letting iX takeover the print & distribution in the US so we can try to keep it at Barnes & Noble and Borders while getting it into Fry's and Microcenter as well. FreeBSD Mall reduced the new issue 20% so it's now $12 USD for the print version at http://www.freebsdmall.com. If you'd already purchased at the regular price yesterday, forward me your order confirmation and address and I'll have marketing send along something worth the extra few dollars ;-) You can also sign up for the electronic subscription on the BSD Mag website, http://bsdmag.org/prt/view/subscribe.html.
