Ghost1227 · 2009-06-06 14:36:09

you are quite welcome!

filam · 2009-06-06 14:37:25

Wonderful as always. Is it just me or does the screenshot from page 1 run on to the 2nd?

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-06 14:41:04

Not anymore it doesn't Good catch!

rusty99 · 2009-06-06 15:09:27

Another great read, good work

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-06 15:14:23

thanks!

Ashren · 2009-06-06 15:16:37

Thanks for the magazine! What kind of software do you use to create it?

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-06 15:18:28

You're welcome! Scribus for the actual assembly, inkscape for vector graphics (logos and icons mostly), gimp for screenshots and misc graphics.

Ashren · 2009-06-06 15:40:59

What! No LaTeX?!

Scribus looks to have become a quite powerful application by the looks of the mag.

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-06 15:44:39

Scribus can definitely hold its own... as long as you take the time to learn its quirks

There's been talk of switching to LaTeX, but when I started AUM I built my initial template for Scribus, it's worked thus far, so I see no reason to switch. We'll see what happens down the line.

Ranguvar · 2009-06-06 17:38:02

Very nice issue, and thanks for it!

Forgive me if this has been proposed before, but has merging the magazine and the newsletter been considered? I know the newsletter is more focused on Arch community happenings and the magazine seems more focused on general features, but I think it'd be awesome if we could get both in one.

haxit · 2009-06-06 17:47:37

Awesome, as usual!

Barrucadu · 2009-06-06 18:15:57

Downloaded, read, and donated

I haven't even donated to Arch yet

Gen2ly · 2009-06-07 01:02:36

Great isn't a good enough way to describe AUM. Nice job again.

If there are problems with bandwidth on the archuser site, you may be able to put the newsletter on archive.org. They have pretty good policies about such things plus I don't think the bandwidth would kill them.

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-07 01:40:00

Bandwidth isn't the problem, i'm not even scratching the surface of my bandwidth... and I'm running half a dozen sites.

kensai · 2009-06-07 03:14:17

Well, you just managed to better the AUM once more, the quality is sure getting up by lots with every release. Keep up the good work.

Ghost1227 · 2009-06-07 03:17:28

High praise coming from you kensai! Thanks!

veek · 2009-06-08 05:50:20

Great style, and great content, and from a fellow Delawarean, no less. I'm only in the first pages and am looking forward to finishing after work. Very nicely done.

Chrysalis · 2009-07-20 00:30:13

Something is wrong with the website... getting a blank page, direct links to pdfs work though.

Ghost1227 · 2009-07-20 00:36:11

It's true, the website is not currently up. AUM is currently undergoing a major transition that will allow us to provide a better product for everyone. I promise, I haven't forgotten all of you! Keep your eyes open for our next issue!

Chrysalis · 2009-07-20 00:40:29

Do you have a link to the issue 2 pdf? i got 1 and 3.

I've been away and trying to catch up lol

EDIT: nm, found it, the rest of the site seems to work, only the homepage is blank.
