What will you call your AVR Magazine?

Atmel spends more on lawyers than it does in documentation development,
so you might find yourself fighting them if you use those three letters.

On the other hand such a lawsuit might force them to explain
that AVR is the initials of a person that wrote a thesis paper
on single clock cycle instruction execution.  If they really
name A.V.R. then they probably have to pay him big time royalties.
Someday I'm going to have to dig through my archives and find
A.V.R.s name, know its in there from about 1996 or so.

As Elektor seems to have money, enough to have bought
Circuit Cellar, maybe they would be interested in helping you
develop your magazine?

How are you planing to keep this venture going for more than the first issue
or two?  Quarterly?

As far as online PDF's, I don't like that the real world magazines,
Circuit Cellar for example, try to make their PDFs look like the real
magazines.  The idea is understandable, but they simply don't fit
our screens well.  Tux magazine published their magazine in
Landscape Mode, and fit the screen well:

ftp://ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/tux/

Consider the idea for your magazine.
