As a matter of interest, is the Linux Voice Youtube channel just for the duration of the fund-raising campaign, or will it be used further down the line? I am pondering on whether to subscribe or not. As I receive the Indiegogo updates it hasn't been necessary for me worry about subscribing to the Youtube channel, but after the campaign is over it might.
We may use it for updates and even video tutorials further down the line, so it's worth subscribing!
Thanks, Mike, I'll add it to my list.
In your latest Campaign Update (#32) you asked for some ideas on what I'd like to see in the magazine. Here are a few
1) A "This Month in Kernel Updates" section? A page or two of discussion on this month's git commits to the Torvalds kernel branch along with the authors. If there is a really big feature you can do a 1 page indepth analysis extra.
2) A "This Months Hot Bugs" section? A page or two of discussion of the hottest bugs in the open source landscape. How to reproduce, link to the bug tracker.
3) A "This Month's Fun Graphs" section? A page or two of interesting information represented in graph form (bugs fixed, amount of downloads of distros, digital vs print copies of Linux Voice etc).
Thanks
+ Effie!
Forgot to mention that earlier.
I'd like to see Ben do a monthly column, "Is It Fruit or Vegetable?" featuring a different controversial plant based food each issue.
Cracking jumper Andrew. Can we add it as a perk to the Indiegogo page?
Hi,
Being a newbie/novice in Linux. I have used several distributions (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and now Crunchbang.
Warning! This may be a scatter brain post. I am just trying to get it all out as I think about it before I forget about this.
The biggest thing I can think of is tutorials. GUI based then a CLI based for the same thing. Something like Okay that is how you do it with the GUI now lets how you how to do it with the CLI. Explain the CLI command that is being used. I have seen tons of "How to's" that spit the info out on how to do something but never explain what the command is doing. How about Basic then Advanced tutorials and then even more advance tutorials building prior basic & advanced tutorials. Include Bash/Python/Cron as they get more advanced. I am not saying teach us python. I see that in the Full Circle Mag, we may not know what is going to but at lease dip our toes into it.
How about this for some tutorials. In windows you do this… Now, This is how you do it in Linux. I think this would be helpful for people moving over to Linux from windows.
Tutorial Ideas:
* Using Wine to run a windows application.
* access network files (basic & advanced with some automation)
* starting something at logon/computer turned automatically
* backup
** Backup /home to network (to a NAS/FreeNAS, network storage of some type)
*** Automating the backup
Sorry if this is a mess. I am hungry and dinner is on the table
