Then we can take out the Malaysian from "Malaysian Online Open Source
Magazine".

To me, it's a bonus if people in other countries benefit from the mag
(and contribute), but as long as it's Malaysian open source mag, I don't
see why an article(s) or sections in BM would not be OK. Else, we would
be writing for Newsforge, Tux, Daemon News Ezine etc.

If it's OSS community in general (worldwide) then even an articles on
Streayx/AirZed etc. won't fit this definition.

I personally would like to see more BM articles, so that we can
represent the entire .my FOSS community which also includes the mostly
BM mypenguin99 and itutor communities.

Volunteers to translate (from BM to English and vice versa), I feel
would only promote even more co-operation while reaching out to a larger
Malaysian audience who are not comfortable in English.
