Hello Linux-using Ottawans, I'm writing to let you know that the editorial team behind Linux Format has quit, and is in the process of launching a rival Linux magazine called Linux Voice. http://www.linuxvoice.com/hello-linux-format-and-tuxradar-readers/ Linux Voice will cover most of the same content as Linux Format, with many of the same writers, but it will be different in three key areas: 1/ We'll give 50% of our profits back to community groups and organisations supporting free software. Admittedly our profits won't be massive at first, but if we achieve even half the success that Linux Format did (and maybe we will after a couple of years) we'll be able to contribute quite a bit of cash. 2/ After no longer than 9 months, we'll relicense old content under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA licence, so teachers, LUGs, students and anybody else can take, copy and improve upon our work for their own ends. 3/ We won't be owned by a bunch of hedge funds, like Linux Format is ( http://www.futureplc.com/investors/major-shareholders/), so we'll be free from corporate interference. Free to do the best job we possibly can. If you could let your members know what we're doing, we'd be most grateful. And if anyone there is a Linux Format reader, please direct them to www.indiegogo.com/projects/linux-voice so they can see what we're up to. Thanks, Andrew Gregory, Linux Voice
