[Coco] Contest Review Magazine - change of schedule

[Kip Koon]

Aaron,
Sorry to hear of the delay.  I know everyone was looking forward and maybe
eager to see the issue.  However, as you so cleverly pointed out, we have
more time to make this Tribute issue to RAINBOW the best our community can
create.  
I for one am going to rack my brains to come up with some kind of ad -
serious and/or funny.  
How about my story of returning back to the Coco World in the midst of rough
economic times?  Do you think that would hold a reader's attention?
Just to name a few.
Kip

Hello Coconuts,

Well... I did not get everything laid out and ready for printing in time to
have the magazine available at the fest as I had hoped.
The great submissions from everybody were surprising in both quality and
quantity, and the magazine has now grown to over 80 pages!

It is disappointing not to have them printed in time for the CoCofest, but
may be serendipitous.  We will now be able to add a story with pictures and
info about the CoCoFest, just like the Rainbow used to have.  We will also
be able to do a little more editing/polishing on the last minute entries and
even accept some additional content if people wish to contribute further.

So... apologies for not having the magazine printed on schedule but I will
do my best to turn that into a good thing.  The magazine will absolutely
still happen, it will be the first thing I work on when I get back from the
fest.

The contest is right on schedule, we will announce the winners on Sunday,
I'll post exact time when I can talk to the Fest organizers about it.
I'll have live video streaming during the fest, details also to follow.  The
contest entries will be running on demo machines during the fest at my table
there.

Another huge thank you to all the coders, reviewers, prize donations, and
other contributors!
-Aaron
