A Finnish hobbyist computer magazine "Skrolli" is trying to widen their audience by doing (at first) one magazine in english. I've read the magazines in finnish, enjoyed them a lot and I think that this might interest like-minded people from all over the world. Skrolli is a non-profit association.

>We are a group of hackers, computer hobbyists, gaming enthusiasts and journalists from Finland. We grew up reading about computers, programming, games and computer culture in magazines. They taught many of us how to do things ourselves instead of only consuming ready-made products. They raised the generation that gave birth to innovations like IRC and Linux and companies like Supercell, Remedy and Housemarque.
>One by one, these hacker magazines disappeared from the mainstream and died off – in Finland and everywhere else. We felt sorry that they were gone. The Internet is great, of course, but it will never be permanent like print is. Articles on websites tend to disappear, but we can still read magazines from a hundred years ago.
>Three years ago, we decided to make a magazine ourselves. We were fascinated with the idea of making something that we used to love, but writing about the topics of the present day. It turned out that this was a good idea, since a lot of people wanted to join us in making such a magazine. Skrolli and its community were born, and a total of 12 issues have been published since then.
>The time has come to present Skrolli to an international audience. If this crowdfunding campaign succeeds, we can print an issue in English. If there is enough interest, we can even start publishing Skrolli in two languages.
we have 2600
Will it contain specific step-by-step instructions how to install gentoo? If if it will, I will support it.

It's about the demoscene demos and not demo versions of games. The makers of this magazine are really pro-demoscene, so I don't think they really think demos suck, but instead that title is just trying to tirck demosceners into reading the article.

>It's about the demoscene demos and not demo versions of games

I think it's a translated article and it has been released in Finnish before. In the Finnish article they talk about why demos suck from the viewpoint of non demosceners, and the article is basically a tutorial about how to get into the demoscene and what it is.
Should we buy ad for /g/entoo?

I think that the average reader has more experience with Gentoo than average user of this board.

Yes, there is. Usually they have published their magazines as PDF's for everyone when the next issue comes. As subscriber I get it at the same time as the paper version comes.
