Good afternoon all, I'll keep this as brief as possible, as I'm sure there will be some interested, and some might not make it past this sentence.
I'm sending this out to see if there is anyone, or hopefully more then one, who would be interested in participating in a new "zLinux" website. Before the common response of "Why another site for Linux on System z", there is a different direction intended for this. When I first started out in zLinux, there was not a central information source that covered all aspects of the things behind the scenes that make Linux on System z work. I would be bouncing between the ListServ (great resource!), IBM's site, Novell's site, Velocity's site, linuxvm.org (another great resource), and many more, in order to piece together some general information. I thought there were sites for "regular Linux", like linux.com, linuxjournal.com, etc, which provide weekly news updates, tech tips/how-to's, vendor news, etc. So with those goals in mind, I decided to tinker with the idea of a website for zLinux that would do just that. The site is NOT meant to contend with the exsisting sites relating to Linux on System z, more of a site to provide a spot to visit for a quick dose of weekly zLinux information. With all of that mentioned, and if your still hopefully reading this, would anyone be interested in participating from the community? I envision this site as more of a "virtual magazine", with a structor similiar to www.linuxjournal.com. *What does "participating" mean?* Essentially anyone who would be willing to contribute content, information, articles, tips, how-to's, etc. You don't have to be an expert or an english major, just willing to help out with contributing small bits of information (1 or 2 paragraph articles, etc). This is very open-ended, so any suggestions would be great! *The goal being to create a site that benefits the community as a whole, from the experts, to the new folks, to the vendors, etc.* Thanks again for your time, hope everyone enjoys the weekend. -Floyd Rodery ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
