FYI. We (i.e. the board) received this recently.<br>
I don't know of any Linux Format readers among us, but they used to
be a half-decent (albeit expensive) magazine.<br>
In case it isn't obvious from the message below, they're looking for
money to start publication of their new magazine.<br>

<div>I'm writing to let you know that the
editorial team behind Linux Format has quit,
and is in the process of launching a rival
Linux magazine called Linux Voice.<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.linuxvoice.com/hello-linux-format-and-tuxradar-readers/"
target="_blank">http://www.linuxvoice.com/hello-linux-format-and-tuxradar-readers/</a><br>
<br>
</div>
Linux Voice will cover most of the same
content as Linux Format, with many of the same
writers, but it will be different in three key
areas:<br>
<br>
</div>
1/ We'll give 50% of our profits back to
community groups and organisations supporting
free software. Admittedly our profits won't be
massive at first, but if we achieve even half
the success that Linux Format did (and maybe we
will after a couple of years) we'll be able to
contribute quite a bit of cash.<br>
</div>
<br>
2/ After no longer than 9 months, we'll relicense
old content under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA
licence, so teachers, LUGs, students and anybody
else can take, copy and improve upon our work for
their own ends.<br>
<br>
</div>
3/ We won't be owned by a bunch of hedge funds, like
Linux Format is (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.futureplc.com/investors/major-shareholders/"
target="_blank">http://www.futureplc.com/investors/major-shareholders/</a>),
so we'll be free from corporate interference. Free
to do the best job we possibly can.<br>
<br>
If you could let your members know what we're doing,
we'd be most grateful. And if anyone there is a
Linux Format reader, please direct them to <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/linux-voice"
target="_blank">www.indiegogo.com/projects/linux-voice</a> so
they can see what we're up to.<br>
</div>
<br>

Thanks,<br>
<br>
