Free Software Magazine Inaugural Issue Released

Posted by timothy on from the get-your-download-on dept.

T ony Merc Mobily writes "Free Software Magazine is a new magazine entirely dedicated to free software. It contains quality articles relating to both technical and non-technical issues. The magazine's goal is to publish good articles which are then released under a free license after publication. The magazine obviously needs subscribers - the more, the better!" It's nice to be able to download magazines as PDF files, too.

  1. Priced ridiculously high by JohnQPublic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At US$71.40/year plus a US$10.00 "administration fee", it better get better fast. The articles are nice, but they don't justify a price that high.

    The publishers clearly expect a decent number of ads, as they've reserved quite a bit of space, and even have a few of what appear to be paid ads. That's actually *very* good for the first issue of any new magazine.

    I wish them luck, but I'll be browsing it online for a while before I subscribe to any periodical whose pricing is that far out of line with its market.
