<h1>About LinuxFocus.org</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>LinuxFocus first appeared in Nov. 1997. It was started by Miguel
|
|
Angel Sepulveda and some friends when they realized that the
|
|
amount of support and documentation for the Linux fans in non-English
|
|
speaking countries was close to none.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Although most of us were able to read English news groups,
|
|
HOWTOS and books, we felt that providing information of this
|
|
nature in a non-English language was very important. Most young
|
|
people in non-English speaking countries rarely speak or read
|
|
English, their first experience with a computer operating system
|
|
likely comes from the hand of Micro... MS sells their
|
|
distribution in almost all languages imaginable. Commercial
|
|
Linux distributors are not even near that level.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Our fundamental goal is then pedagogical. To reach a new
|
|
generation of users and to provide enough information in their
|
|
native language so that they can join in the Linux community.

<FONT color="#0066FF">Miguel Angel Sepulveda</FONT>
|
|
is the founder of the LinuxFocus Magazine. He used to work as a Research
|
|
Associate at the University of Pittsburgh working on polymer, gels and
|
|
quantum phonon control. Miguel has a Ph. D. in theoretical chemistry. He
|
|
likes animations, 3D programming and simulations. He is Linux user
|
|
since 1993. In his very little free time he enjoys classical music and
|
|
playing with his kids. In 1999 he quit the position as project leader
|
|
for LinuxFocus.</P>

|
|
The goal of LinuxFocus is to produce and publish a free online magazine
|
|
about Linux and related issues in a number of languages. LinuxFocus is
|
|
an open magazine, it is the joint effort of many people. Anyone can
|
|
contribute interesting articles.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When Miguel Sepulveda left LinuxFocus, Guido Socher took over the
|
|
project leader responsibility.

|
|
Guido is a Linux-Fan since the first moment he installed it on his computer.
|
|
He loves Linux because it is more than just a bit of software. It is a
|
|
philosophy. Guido has a Master in Electrical Engineering and works
|
|
in the area of software design for a bigger telecommunications company.
|
|
Recently he spends a lot of his spare time for LinuxFocus.

|
|
<p>LinuxFocus is definitely not a one person effort.
|
|
LinuxFocus lives and exists of course only because of all the
|
|
hundreds of contributes. We have a number of working groups for the
|
|
different languages.
|
|
<br>Contact persons for each group and their corresponding e-mails can
|
|
be found at our <a href="../common/lfteam.html">lf-team web page</a>.
|
|

|
|

|
|
We hope you enjoy our magazine, and look forward to hearing from you.
