Tech-Ed

Tech-Ed commitee We're beginning work on Tech-Ed and there will be an interim commitee that will start the first issue in April 2005. We need graphic designers, web designers and writers.

Tech-Ed is a 6-page, multicolor (not full color) newsletter, and we need to have the first draft of the newsletter design & layout by March 20. Tech-Ed will be delivered to the students on the 10th of everymonth. Its not a semimonthly, but a monthly issue. We also have to start getting together articles and stuff like Dr. DynamiX and Tips 'n Tricks and once the design is ready, we'll put up the content, put up the online edition and send it for print by the 1st. We're looking for sponsors, who might be interested in reaching out to the students. The sponsors have to pay for the whole year at once (a very small amount..) and then they get exposure in all the issues. We release 10 issues in all per year. Without sponsor or school support, we can run the newsletter by charging students only Rs. 36 per year. With sponsors, we can get it down to hopefully 10 per year. It should not be free, else it will lose its value. Free ka maal never have any value in the users' mind.

We need to plan out what all will be there in the newsletter. Please post in the comments your ideas (crazy ones accepted.. we're students and its run by the students. So funky and funny allowed!). Keep putting in all your ideas as they keep coming in. Don't bother to put them all in one post. You may keep commenting with just one idea at one time too. Remember, we've got to plan for about 5 1/2 pages content for the first issue. Rest all is junk like title etc.
