Some comments after reading the first two issues (bearing in mind the
source ;-)
- Roblimo (editor-in-chief, a-la Slashdot) is a bit over the top. I
mean, he doesn't like press releases, and I can't blame him, but that's
how things are communicated to magazines; I don't see why this warrants
a full-bore vent about them. I guess his attitude (with a capital "A")
comes across a bit strongly. (My girlfriend is a products editor for a
vertical-market magazine, and gets press releases out the wazoo... a
lot go in the circular filing cabinet, some make it into the magazine.
Heck -- without press releases, it would be burdensome to find out
anything *about* new products.)
- Teh wrost eidting jbo Ive scene ni adges. Rilly.
- Good business-level articles; if you're looking for Linux internals
"meat," you won't find them here. If you're looking to see how
Linux can help your business model, this is the magazine for you.
I, personally, am going to let my subscription lapse, but others looking
for business slant/high-level Linux/Open Source info may find it to be a
valuable resource.
