Hi all. As some of you may know, I run another open-source related project called the Open Source Writers Group (http://www.oswg.org). If I seem a little distant at times, it's probably because I'm drowning in a sea of markup and writing :) Many people in LinuxChix are extremely knowledgable when it comes to Linux and other open-source software. Just following the various threads on "techtalk" is proof of this. Many of you could make extremely valuable contributions to the OS community by writing down some of what you have learned about Linux and Open Source and sharing it with others. As it happens, the OSWG is (always) actively looking for people to contribute free open-source and open-content documentation. You don't have to be the best writer in the world. You don't have to know anything about document formatting or SGML. The OSWG has volunteer editors and SGML specialists who take care of all that. The OSWG isn't just about purely technical documentation, either. Alan Cox and Alessandro Rubini have both contributed articles that address some of the "philosophy" of Open Source. Kirrily Robert recently contributed her "Advice to Mailing List Owners". If you've written something related to Open Source and you're willing to release it under an open-source or open-content license, the OSWG would be proud to add it to its growing documents library. If you're interested in becoming a contributor, let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help. I also invite anyone who is interested in doing writing, editing, proofreading, translating, or markup to join the OSWG mailing lists (sub info is available through the site). Okay, that's my shameless plug out of the way. I hope some of you will consider sharing your knowledge with the rest of the community. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming ;> - deb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
