OSDL to fund a kernel tech writer Posted Nov 7, 2006 16:51 UTC (Tue) by pointwood (subscriber, #2814) [Link] Agreed! I would hate to loose lwn.net!
Part time! Posted Nov 7, 2006 20:53 UTC (Tue) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link] Jeez, if OSDL had half a brain they'd fund Jon part time at least.
Now whether Jon would take it ... I will avoid any half brain jokes there because I suspect Jon knows more inside scoop on OSDL than we do, and might not want to say much publicly.
Part time! Posted Nov 9, 2006 17:03 UTC (Thu) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] I think I remember an announcement a while back that OSDL was getting a corporate subscription to LWN. That would be the sensible way for them to fund Jon, since it helps to keep his day job going. Keeping LWN afloat means subscribers keep contribution which nets Jon more in the long run than OSDL is likely to fund him directly.
OSDL to fund a kernel tech writer Posted Nov 7, 2006 22:14 UTC (Tue) by csawtell (subscriber, #986) [Link] There is no need to fear that LWN will lose Mr. Corbet. While the jobdescription calls for fluency in the C programming language, it does not require fluency in written English. Therefore Jon is overqualified and won't be offered the job. Thus we can rest assured that we won't be deprived of Our Editor, and the /Documentation tree will be vastly expanded with many kilobytes of semi-literate geek-speek. OK it's a cynical joust, but I hope people will accept that it is more than half in jest.
