Linux Voice journos hit crowdfunding target A brief update on the crowdfunding efforts of three British journalists, who left Linux Format to launch a new magazine. They have hit their £90,000 launch target for Linux Voice, 14 days before deadline. At time of writing, Andrew Gregory, Mike Saunders and Ben Everard have received £93,000 in pledges. They have an …
Ditto.
Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to gloat at the naysayers who hoped the fundraising would fail, and remind the anti-choice nuts that diversity (or what they stigmatise as "fragmentation") is actually a very good thing (except for the anti-choice fanatics and aspiring dictators, who want to impose their limited preferences on everyone else, obviously).
Strange, I thought Ballmer's flock of shills had been recalled ages ago, after Vole realised they were fighting a losing battle, but it seems there's still a few strays wandering about (apparently somewhere in the southern states, from the right-wing, homophobic tone).
I stopped reading Linux Format for 2 reasons;
1. The volume of advertising was reaching a point were it seemed as if there were more ads than content. This, as I understand it one of the many reasons why the gents behind Linux Voice left LF to start this venture. Kudos.
2. The editorial line. It seemed to focus on slagging off other non-OSS platforms. Talk about preaching to the choir! This issue is down to the writers and editorial staff, so I'll ask, nay beg here; don't do it. It makes you look either smug or small and sometimes ill-informed. We get enough of that online! It ruined for me something that was otherwise extremely well written.
Congratulations on succeeding with phase one gentlemen. I look forward to reading your new magazine.
