[Idea] RetroPie communitary magazine

lilbud

@mattrixk Retropie has a lot going on, but not enough to fill a monthly magazine. Plus the time and effort to make one is more than most of us can handle.

And besides, if we sell a magazine, about a project that allows you to play copyrighted content for free, we will have a lot more attention then we want.

sergioad

@mattrixk that is true. Now that I saw the Raspi magazine has eight sections and each one is like a blog post, four redactors with two themes each is more likely but if that is not possible I would go with the "The month in RetroPie" posts 😀

sergioad

@lilbud that is true, but it is a grey area if you own a copy and flash it to a rom file, also RetroPie has the freeware ports

No need to mention that what @mattrixk said a monthly blog post and only about features or projects to come

lilbud

@sergioad Well...do you think Nintendo or Sega will care that it's a gray area?

sergioad

@lilbud true

But what about the blog post? No need to mention that what @mattrixk said a monthly blog post and only about features or projects to come and all that by free and in the RetroPie blog, also there could be featured some relevant work made by the community like themes or things like that, the community also deserves a spotlight dimer than the one the devs deserves but a spotlight non the least

Apologies for my horrible English

herb_fargus

we do put out a blog post: namely any time there are enough notable changes to make a new retropie release ;)

sergioad

@herb_fargus ok, apologies 😀 what do you think about one post of the community Showcasing projects themes and howtos?

herb_fargus

@sergioad isnt that the idea of the docs/ the category of projects and themes on the forum :P

sergioad

@herb_fargus it is but in my opinion could be great, talk about that with the other devs and if you like the idea well... Maybe could be done, I think if it goes forward a team of high rank users of the forum could write each post

sergioad

Well, I leave this theme, talk about the posibilities and see what could be done, I want to see RetroPie's creative community being hilighted once in a while, even in I do not mind if that is in a new category in the forum where only admins can post and showcase how great this community is.

herb_fargus

I mean its not a terrible idea, retropie is awesome because of the community. (and of course because of @BuZz)

I personally just don't have much time outside of my maintenance of the docs, and I know jools has a limited amount of time as well most of which is spent on the code.

sergioad

I see
