LINUX GAZETTE BACKGROUND

|
|
https://internal/Departments/Technical/Web/LG contains technical documentation
|
|
on LG, but it's out of date.

|
===== History of LG =====
|
|
- [#1, July 1995] Created by John Fisk. Dedicated to two simple ideas:
|
|
* Making Linux a little more fun.
|
|
* Sharing ideas and discoveries.
|
|
- [#9, September 1996] SSC took over publication. Margorie Richardson (Margie)
|
|
was the first Editor; she was also LJ's Editor. LG joined the Linux
|
|
Documentation Project (LDP) around this time and started acquiring mirrors
|
|
and translations.
|
|
- [#42, June 1999] Mike Orr (Iron) became the second Editor.
|
|
- [#94, August 2003] Jeff Tinsler became the third Editor, or Webmaster as it's
|
|
now called.
|
|
|
|
Somewhere along the way, LG joined the Linux Documentation Project (LDP),
|
|
acquired mirrors in 47 countries, translations in 9 languages (or maybe 11
|
|
now), inclusion in Debian GNU/Linux and on LJ CD-ROMs and other CD-ROMs. All
|
|
these are sponsored and maintained by their own organizations, not by LG.

Several people have volunteered to be article proofreaders, see
|
|
https://www.ssc.com/internal/Departments/Technical/Web/LG/volunteers.html
|
|
but that file hasn't been updated recently. Other people who have offered
|
|
to proofread are in /home/lg/Mail/proofreaders.new
|
|
I have considered asking them to be volunteer editors; that is, they would
|
|
format one article a month and handle contacting the author, fixing the HTML
|
|
and deciding whether to publish the article, but I haven't asked them yet.
