Wanted: G5 Author
by
zen
Have a G5? Run Linux, Mac OS and other OS? Have a legitimate background in technology, and would enjoy writing about it? PowerPC Liberation needs you.
The G5 chip has always been very under-represented here, and not because of intent, but because the stance of this blog has always been to write from direct experience, not conjecture. So since none of us who write here own a G5-powered machine, we can't really write from that perspective.
Logout from viva PowerPC has an open invite to be an author here, and that offer will always be there if he wants it. He is about the only truly qualified G5 user I know of.
Anyone else, please send your details, and perhaps some sample writings, to powerpcliberation at gmail dot com. In your details, please explain why you want to write here, along with how you're qualified to do so. Only serious and qualified applicants will be considered.
The number one thing we need here is a G5-based Linux/Debian user; with some Mac OS and other operating systems peppered in. So if you're a strict Mac OS only fanboy-type user; don't waste your time or ours.

An afterthought...
ReplyDeleteI think that short of Logout joining here as an author; the best bet might be to just get Dan the Luddite a G5. He is our resident Debian Chef after all, so who better to lead the G5 perspective on Linux.
I always see G5s both powermac and iMacs on craigslist.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being close to having your first child born! Thats a big deal. Possibly the most significant moment in your life. Best wishes on everything for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThe door is always open to you here, so there is no need to invite you again. When you're ready, simply let me know. It's simply a matter of sending you an official blogger author invite, and once you accept that you'll be able to post here, along with comment without moderation.
Like I said in the email... you would never be under any obligation as to how much you are required to write. We have a very simple post when it suits you and your life policy here.
If you have future interest in writing here as you say, then you can already consider yourself a member. We, and all the G5 users who read this blog, will be here when you're ready to start writing.
Once again, best wishes to you and your family during this remarkable time in your life.
