[FreeGeek] Momentum Update (for the next issue)

[Terry Lowe]

Hi David,

You're right. Amy already caught that (I don't know what she was doing
up at 4 AM, but that's when I got the message back).

As per your earlier question about sending stuff to Momentum. Amy is
always looking for new contributors, probably because there is NO money
in working for Momentum. You sort of work with Momentum instead, rather,
just because it's a good thing to do, and needs doing. It's run sort of like an
open-source software project: first there's a meeting where possible topics are
discussed, and Amy takes notes furiously. A few days later, she publishes a
list of stories that need writers (there's a private Yahoo group for this). 
Pick one
you want to do, take note of the deadline, and get busy.

You can always propose a story, too. People frequently propose items that will
allow them to vent at length (blog style). These are usually refused. Amy wants
the magazine to be as useful as possible, for as many people as possible. This
does not necessarily mean bike stories, hence the recipes, book reviews, the
Free Geek article, etc.

Why don't you send your story as a letter? There's going to be an article about
the pros and cons of Critical Mass, so a road rage letter would be timely 
(or as
timely as you can be on a bi-monthly schedule).
