As was discussed, we'll be moving the LQ podcasts from my blog to the LQ Radio site. The next podcast will be available within the next 24 hours. Here's a little breakdown.
As I first made public on the LQ Podcast, I am happy to announce the public beta of LQ Radio. LQ Radio will be an Internet Radio show about Linux and Open Source that will be hosted by me and some of the LQ mods. The first show should be ready within a couple weeks. You can visit the site for more info or to give feedback (we'd appreciate any feedback you have). Stay Tuned.
Thanks to david_ross, the reviews section has been updated. This is the first in a series of code updates that will be happening to most parts of the site this year. If you notice any problems, please post in this thread. Thanks.
Voting is now open for the 2004 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards. These awards are 100% up to you, the LQ member, so if you see your favorite app missing in any category please let us know (we are still looking for more nominees in many apps). Good luck to each product that is up for an award. Voting will close on February 3rd and awards will be available for pickup at the LQ booth during the LinuxWorld Expo in Boston.
Voting for the the 2004 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards will open soon. The next post in this thread will contain the tentative categories for this year. If you think anything is missing, or anything should be removed, please post in this thread. Thanks.
We've hit another milestone. In case you didn't notice, late last night we surpassed 150,000 members! I'd like to thank each and every member for making LQ what it is. We'll continue to do our best to make sure LQ remains as good as it possible can be.
