In 2010 IDG Germany published 4 quarterly issues of PC WELT LINUX. This magazine's production is completely out-sourced to Liane M. Dubowy of the con.Tec editorial office. All authors are freelancers or individual contributors. This model has worked out well and the magazine has developed into one of the major regular Linux publications in Germany. The magazine's audience is desktop users, hobbyists and sometimes even admins. I've been occasionally contributing articles and tutorials to the magazines for a couple of years now. In 2010 I wrote most of its hands-on articles (CLI magic, tips and tricks) and distribution reviews. It's still a great way to develop fresh ideas, play around and test new software while being paid for it! This magazine is in German.
