If the idea is just to have an Oz based Linux mag then Cons Press (who
do APC I think) or some other techie publishing house 'stealing' the
idea and running with it would be a good thing.  If the idea is to do a
magazine for the sake of doing it ourselves and making a viable business
out of it, then it would be a bad thing.

 What's the real aim here? Linux Magazine or profitable business that
happens to publish a Linux magazine to make its profit?
