PostgreSQL Magazine started two years ago. The second issue will be
released in a few weeks.

So far the magazine is available for free online (download the PDF or
read it with the flash reader). You can also buy your own paper version
(http://pgmag.org/01/buy). You can also get one for free in some
PostgreSQL conferences thanks to our sponsors.

This is what we intend to do ! Please note that magazine itself works
like an open source project. You can join us and participate ! There are
many ways to get involved : writing articles, editing, proof-reading,
layout design, translating, etc.

If you want to contribute, you can join the project mailing list :
