This is fantastic work, guys. The PostgreSQL community will highly appreciate this magazine. I am already looking forward to #02.

Nice work, but a magazine, really? Does seem a little 1996. (This is not a commentary on the content of said magazine at all)

It'd be nice if it were an HTML magazine, or at least the PDF was simply linked and recirculated...the flash is...well...

I uploaded this to Scribd at http://www.scribd.com/doc/92958129/Pgmag-01-Letter-web for my own convenience, but either the conversion to HTML doesn't work for this document or just hasn't happened quite yet.

I think we are going to see a resurgence of magazines, as the signal to noise ratio is much higher.

Amen. I can't see the right page because I have two monitors and the magazine is centered across the entire desktop, while fullscreen only fills the (primary) left monitor.

How I loathe programmers who try to redo everything inside flash; and their inevitably failure.

I like the format of a magazine. I have to dedicate myself to reading it, rather than being distracted.
