Thanks for the hint. I am working for a big university where we got 
magazines like that, too.

Besides that I have the idea to bring GNOME to the ppl besides letting 
them join our meetings. To make that happen we want to give 
presentations to LUGs, Students and other interested ppl.

Another idea is to set up a booth (e.g. on Software Freedom Day) in a 
Bookstore, presenting GNOME.
