The feeling I get is that actually a lot of these magazines are a bit stretched for articles (as in they only just get enough), so they will probably consider any well-written article on a general FreeBSD topic. For an idea of what one UK magazine looks for though, here's their writing guidelines: http://tinyurl.com/2rxhnf > Maybe those of us on this group could work together?

That was my original idea - people send in articles, someone proof-reads and edits them if necessary and then sends them off to relevant magazines with instructions to make cheques payable to the FreeBSD Foundation.
