Re: [libreoffice-marketing] A Magazine for All us!!

Hi,

Another appetizer! Our magazine is monthly. It is available for browsing
online[1]. And we have editions translated into English.[2] And the best: It
is developed in a fully collaborative. Currently the only recourse we have
is the wiki[3] of TDF and a website[4] that is under development.
