Jill Franklin, executive editor of Linux Journal. I've worked with many
of you over the years and thank you all for taking the time to offer
your words of wisdom to Linux Journal through this advisory group.<br><div><br></div><div>Today we come to you asking for your help brainstorming ways to address the new Linux culture.</div><div><br></div><div>For
years, Linux Journal stuck to the core "enthusiast" makeup of the
community. But a new community has emerged. Today people who are
involved in Linux ONLY professionally make up a large percentage of our
community. How do we reach out to and include those people, and most
important, how do we make them advocates for FOSS? (Because right now,
to them, Linux is just the thing buried under 100 frameworks that they
write web apps for 9-5, and FOSS is a thing they use to crowd-source
their development work and to get code from others to mash up into
their code.)</div><div><br></div><div>We need to figure out how to include that new community while still sticking to our core values.<br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Any thoughts, insights, or ideas would be greatly welcome. <br></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_474490968937313362gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Jill Franklin, Executive Editor, Linux Journal<br><a href="mailto:jill@linuxjournal.com" target="_blank">jill@linuxjournal.com</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></div>
