I am proud to announce that two days ago, LinuxQuestions.org officially turned five. Exactly one week from today (also five years ago) I made by first post. We've come a long long way and I'd like to thank each and every member for making LQ what it is. Without it's members, LQ would be nothing. I am happy to report that this year should be a big year for LQ. We have a ton of great things on the way (including an updated forum). We should also be adding some new sites to the LQ network, which already includes the LQ Wiki and LQ ISO. As always, we want to know what you think. What does LQ need? What are we missing? In what direction would you like to see us go? Any and all feedback is welcome - we really are listening.

Another Distribution Joins LinuxQuestions.org - MEPIS
I am happy to announce that another distribution has joined LinuxQuestions.org. Please welcome MEPIS. Participating in the MEPIS forum will be LordDavon, mmelbert, allworld, elmo40 and aveteam. I'd like to thank Warren and David for working with me to get the forum setup.
LQ Radio has interviewed James Turner and Dee-Ann LeBlanc, former editors for LinuxWorld Magazine. In the interview, they go into what exactly led up to their decision to leave Sys-Con, their comments on the Free Software Magazine interview with Fuat, exactly who ended up stepping down and where some of them have found new homes. The line between blogging and journalism, and the expectation of privacy that bloggers and journalists can expect is also discussed. I'd like to thank both Dee-Ann and James for taking the time to be on the show.
I am proud to announce that the inaugural episode of the LQ Radio Show has been posted. We had to work through a couple of technical issues, but overall I think the show came out quite well. Thanks to Robin, John and Dave for agreeing to be the first panelists. If you have any feedback on the show, please post it to the LQ Radio site. Thanks.
I have posted a few updates and clarifications about LQ Radio. This was in response to getting the same couple of questions repeatedly. If you have any further questions/comments, feel free to post them in the linked thread. Thanks.

It's time for another LinuxQuestions.org Contest! This is your chance to win a free LQ T-shirt. The shirt in question is not one from the LQ store, but one that was only available as a *very* select giveaway at the LQ LinuxWorld booth. So, how do you participate and win this great prize? Simply by spreading the word about LQ. The 2 members who refer the most members between now and May 14th (midnight LQ time) will each win a prize. There are a couple simple rules. Any form of cheating will disqualify you. This includes signing up for multiple accounts, having people signup for accounts they knowingly won't use, etc. We do have measures in place to help detect this. Also *any* form of spamming for this will *immediately* disqualify you from this and every contest we ever have (really, please - don't spam. The problem is big enough and no one likes a spammer). Those unpleasantries aside, start spreading the word
