<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As a result of Linux World UK this week, I have 2 popular Linux magazines, Linux Format and Linux User, who are very interested in featuring us in the near future.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Linux Format have featured us before, and would like to do a re-visited write-up detailing how far the project has progressed since the last feature, which was 0.2.5</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Linux User seemed interested in doing something with one of our developers who is a competent writer, for a full feature.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Both magazines would like to wait until the 0.3 release before doing their feature.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I need to contact the editors with information and I'm guessing one of the first questions which will be asked is 'when will the 0.3 release be out?'</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">GvG has said he wants to start up on networking, starting with getting Firefox running</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I will be doing as much as I can on the user mode side along with assisting Gé</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="MS Shell Dlg"></FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">in any way I can.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I know Alex has done a hell of a lot of work on the new WS2_32 and friends, and WaxDragon's relentless testing is highlighting progressions and regressions all the time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I suppose I have 2 questions here:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> - Can we consider setting a date to aim for the 0.3 release, so I have something to give to the magazines? It doesn't have to be set in stone, just an incentive to work towards.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> - Is anyone willing to get involved in relaying / writing information to pass on to Linux User magazine?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, I think the requirements for the 0.3 release need to be reviewed. It has some features listed that will hold back the release of 0.3 for no good reason</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Lastly, can I coax anyone else into joining the ReactOS network movement ? hehe</FONT>
