Services used by the MagPi Team Google Groups Translations to other languages would be another great step. We are forever receiving requests for more formats, and this is definitely something we are looking into. Give us another six months, and there should be some real progress made. We had no idea how successful the magazine would be. If you think you can be of any use in the general production, drop us an email. However, you don’t have to put money into this to help us along - time is also one of our limiting factors. We also hope to be able to offer more competitions, and better product testing.Īny donation is very gratefully received. We get a small amount of money from every copy sold - and this goes towards funding the entire production team. However, there are certain administrative costs that go toward producing a reliable magazine, and printing magazines is certainly not free. We all started out as volunteers - we are certainly not in this for the money. We are now able to offer printed copies, competitions, our own branded Raspberry Pi case, and stable mirrors on a website not entirely made in flash. If you had asked us six months ago whether we thought the magazine would be half a year down the line, we would not have been sure. Over time many have joined and left the team, each bringing their own contribution and ideas to the final piece. This started out as a simple idea on the well known forums, with a few of us getting together and deciding on a loose outline of what we wanted to achieve. We produce a magazine with the intent to help and offer advice to users of the Raspberry Pi. To ease the question load on the main organizers, here is a guide to help new volunteers familiarize themselves with the team’s workflow.
It can be confusing when you first join the MagPi team.
