By admin
Welcome to another of Free Software Magazine's fortnightly newsletters,
keeping you up to date with us, and all things free software... enjoy!
General announcements
Once again this week we have implemented two new features to the site to
further enhance your experience=97live discussion, and tagging!
Our live discussion feature allows you the subscriber, when logged in, to
view all articles that have comments that are new to *you*. This will allow
you to keep up to date with all of the discussions happening on the site, s=
o
you won't have to miss a thing! You use this feature by clicking on the
"Live discussion" link in the left-hand navigation menu when you are logged
in. The code was written for us by Earl Dunovant at Code by
P6.
The code has also been returned to the community: it's all released under
the GPL.
We have also implemented tagging, and are currently undergoing the arduous
process of tagging all of our old articles. All of the article tags should
be complete by the time the next newsletter is released.
Speaking of articles, this fortnight, our bloggers really got into the
spirit of things and we have plenty of new and interesting posts to keep yo=
u
all interested!

Poll results=97Do you help friends and family with their GNU/Linux problems=
?
The results on this week's poll were Often (41%), followed by both Never an=
d
Constantly (both 20%) closely followed by Sometimes at (18%). These results
could say many different things. The fact that you all often help could mea=
n
that you are nice people, or could mean Linux has some issues. A lot of you
said in your comments that if you can get your family and friends to use
Linux, then you are the helpdesk... but a lot of you have friends and
families who still have the Windows bug. Read more
hereand stay tuned
for...
This fortnight's poll
Now that the ink has dried, how long do you think Microsoft will wait to
start suing free software developers and
companies?
The Novell/Microsoft deal was big news... everybody's talking about it and
everyone has a different opinion, but the opinions around here range from
cautiously optimistic to very forboding. Microsoft has a demonstrated
history for asking the little guy to play then pushing him around and
walking off with his toys grinning. How long do you think it'll be before
Microsoft starts playing rough?

By admin
Welcome to another of Free Software Magazine's fortnightly newsletters,
keeping you up to date with us, and all things free software... enjoy!
General announcements
Once again this week we have implemented two new features to the site to
further enhance your experience=97live discussion, and tagging!
Our live discussion feature allows you the subscriber, when logged in, to
view all articles that have comments that are new to *you*. This will allow
you to keep up to date with all of the discussions happening on the site, s=
o
you won't have to miss a thing! You use this feature by clicking on the
"Live discussion" link in the left-hand navigation menu when you are logged
in. The code was written for us by Earl Dunovant at Code by
P6.
The code has also been returned to the community: it's all released under
the GPL.
We have also implemented tagging, and are currently undergoing the arduous
process of tagging all of our old articles. All of the article tags should
be complete by the time the next newsletter is released.
Speaking of articles, this fortnight, our bloggers really got into the
spirit of things and we have plenty of new and interesting posts to keep yo=
u
all interested!

Poll results=97Do you help friends and family with their GNU/Linux problems=
?
The results on this week's poll were Often (41%), followed by both Never an=
d
Constantly (both 20%) closely followed by Sometimes at (18%). These results
could say many different things. The fact that you all often help could mea=
n
that you are nice people, or could mean Linux has some issues. A lot of you
said in your comments that if you can get your family and friends to use
Linux, then you are the helpdesk... but a lot of you have friends and
families who still have the Windows bug. Read more
hereand stay tuned
for...
This fortnight's poll
Now that the ink has dried, how long do you think Microsoft will wait to
start suing free software developers and
companies?
The Novell/Microsoft deal was big news... everybody's talking about it and
everyone has a different opinion, but the opinions around here range from
cautiously optimistic to very forboding. Microsoft has a demonstrated
history for asking the little guy to play then pushing him around and
walking off with his toys grinning. How long do you think it'll be before
Microsoft starts playing rough?
