We have just launched a fund drive to cover our expenses for one year - until September 2008. “Keep Us Going” is the motto - for we have been going on for one year by ourselves and we now need external help.

We’re extremely grateful for the participation of the Libervis Network, hosting our forum and community, and the participation of so many of you in the construction and improvement of our sites. But today we need even more - and instead of continual requests for donation, we chose to run a one-month campaign, which should keep us going for one year.

We’re experimenting with link buttons over gnulinuxmatters.org and there should be more spread across our other sites shortly, so we can get as much attention as we can.

We call for your generosity and understanding as we get ready for an exciting year ;-)

Olivier and Gustavo

It was time we found a nice way to display the title of GNU/Linux Matters - this week we worked out a new logo. So please meet our new mascot, an enthusiastic, patient and confident gnu. He’s sitting on the front-page and header of gnulinuxmatters.org now, and you’re likely to meet him occasionally on GetGNULinux.org now.

He’s looking for a name so if you have suggestions we’d love to read them ;-)

Stay tuned, we’ve got exciting things to announce in the coming days.

We have been accepted for a keynote conference at the opening of Ubucon, in Krefeld, Germany, on October 20th. Ubucon is held by the Ubuntu German community and will include workshops and conferences around the theme of Ubuntu, promoting exchange between developers and all kinds of community members.

I (Olivier) will be giving a conference titled Overtaking Proprietary Software Without Writing Code, an evolution from the conference given in the RMLL07 last July. The conference will be in English (default), unless the entire audience speaks German, in which case I might attempt to switch to that language ;-) I’ll also have flyers and some T-shirts at hand.

Book your tickets, see you there!

NB: We are always on the outlook for conferences and public appearances in Europe. If anyone knows of upcoming events, or a repository of such, please let us know!
