Hey all,
As some of you will have seen in ucol, I am currently building a site called LinuxNewbie.com (LNC) which will be hosted by VA Linux Systems.
The site features (will:) a lot of information, including reviews, previews, tutorials, editorials, etc., plus a database of various things a newbie might want to know.
But we have a problem. The project team as it stands numbers five including myself. Over the past few days, we have been making enquires regarding new staff members, and if all the applicants are accepted (looking good, Andrew :) we will hit eight, plus one more possible.
I would like to hit fifteen by launch date.
The current potential staff are offering articles on popular stuff like mail readers, networking, setting up X, etc., and indeed we still are looking for more like this. Part of the permanent staffers duties will include maintaining a daily news section which is like slashdot, only more Linux-centered which particular focus on newbies. We also want to see contributing authors submit their work, not neccessarily permanent staff.
So we have some vacancies which need filling. We want you (or people you know) who have experience in the following areas:
Site-Specific: - html - GIMP or other O-S graphics packages deemed suitable for the job at hand (e.g. POV-Ray) - PHP3 - MySQL - testing pages once ready (while on-line and during our pre-publication period of peer-review)
Content: - authors with opinions, knowledge, ideas on Linux and O-S. - Section-maintainers (e.g. "Which Distrbution", "Community", etc.) - News from around the web plus our own and visitor-sumbitted stories - /if you think of it and we don't have it, come and do it/
There is going to be some serious amount of work over the next two or three weeks, and the site will be better with a large team churning out high-quality content.
Are you interested? Send (privately) me your details, toegether with anything you'd like to help out with from the above list, plus anything you might want to do yourself; include your experience, any web-refs you may have, and anything else you believe may be worth us knowing.
Who knows what could happen - but you can make it work.
Many thanks,
James Green Site Manager, LinuxNewbie.com (LNC)
