We’ve hit the target!
Yes, it’s real. It’s going to happen. Linux Voice will become a reality, thanks to your contributions. We’ve just hit the £90,000 target, with still two weeks to go — and it’s all thanks to you. Your support, your enthusiasm, your word-spreading and your contributions have all made this possible. Andrew and Ben are attending events to talk about Linux Voice right at this second, but we’ll have a proper update when we get back together soon. So stay tuned, and thanks once again!

Hooray and hoorah!
Well done, guys. So glad the gamble paid off.
Well done guys, a truly exceptional achievement, and well done to all the contributors for making it happen.
I hope you fully reap the rewards for having the courage of your convictions.
This already feels like a vibrant community. Now we can look forward to having the magazine we want and the community deserves.
Well done again. Now where's my magazine?
Great news and well deserved, can't wait for the first edition.
Keep up the great podcast too!
Congratulations! I'm really looking forward to the first issue.
Interesting to see how ththe level of doantions really picked up in the last week or so.
Wonderful news! Congratulations!
Congrats!
Happy for you guys, and happy that I'll get to read more of your positive articles and listen to your podcasts. Win-win!
Congratulations! I'm so stoked for you guys. Now where are we going to dinner?
Thanks Jacob! Can’t wait for the dinner either… It’ll be in Bath, England, but you name a date and time and we’ll all get together. If you’re flying from the States, you may be able to book a flight from New York to Bristol (which is very close to Bath). Email me at mike@linuxvoice.com to talk more!
I'll repeat my post from Nov 11, the day Linux Voice was announced and the campaign launched:
Fantastic News! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning 🙂
Massive congratulations. Now the hard work starts! (or continues at least)
Well done guys, or should I be congratulating us funders? Really anticipating what you're going to come up with. Hoping for a mag that rises up above the mass of other publications. More atention to FOSS in the "not so" developed world and the impact (or not) there, would be nice.
Awesome. Well done!
Fantastic news boys! Looking forward to issue 0.
This is fantastic news.
For a while I was wondering whether or not this would actually happen.
Well done team and to everyone who helped to safeguard the magazine and podcast.
Cheers,
PF
Well done lads – this is the best Christmas pressie ever (for all of us I think!!).
woohoo now where is the forum? lol
We're working on a proper site with all the bells and whistles, don't worry 🙂
"Geili Sieche" 🙂
(Swiss German)
I'm looking forward to the very first issue!
Roman
Hmm, "Geiler Sieg" oder etwas ähnliches? Kann a bisserl Bairisch, aber Schweizerdeutsch überhaupt nicht 🙂
This means "geile Typen" … But I admit this is very Swiss 🙂
Absolutely brilliant news fellas.
So so pleased that it's all come together 🙂 And I haven't even paid my sub yet either!
Great News!
I've just done the calculation:
There are 42 days to the campaign.
As of 2013-12-10 you have £94795
That gives a mean of £3268.79 per day
With 13 days to go, the goal will reach £137289.31
I hope this will be an underestimation!
