Good ideas Dave !. We are in the process to get people involved in writing, and
we will contact Marina, Daniel and Stormy.

I personally think is a good idea to do a short interview to Marina. So a good idea and 
volunteering for making it happen  is double awesome :-)

I'm trying to contact Daniel Gallegillos to get an idea about how long the articles
must be. According to previous years, an page without pics is about 400 words
long.  

About the articles about hackfests, the problem I see is that because this is going to
be a biannual issue, there are too many hackfest, GUADEC and DS to be talked
about. I think we need more discussion about this.
