| schestowitz | I didn't tell RMS about any of our clients, I only said that the British government is starting to adopt more Free software. We chatted for 2.5 hours in person and since then we've been exchanging about half a dozen emails per day. His talk in Lincoln was excellent and well attended. | Dec 03 10:56 |
| schestowitz | He is trying to convince the academics there to only use Free software and to only ever use proprietary software for reverse-engineering projects (student projects). | Dec 03 10:56 |

| schestowitz__ | Our friends at The H have decided to close up shop. The Linux and open-source publication owned by Heise is no more. | Dec 05 21:40 |
| schestowitz__ | The H had been providing open-source and Linux articles for the past half-decade, but now this is another Linux site that's closing its doors. Similar to other enthusiast-oriented sites that have vanished, they basically shutdown for lack of profitability. | Dec 05 21:40 |

| schestowitz__ | Having been running Phoronix for the past nine years, I'm very well aware of the difficulties in running a Linux-oriented site especially when it comes to dealing with monetization. Many companies aren't interested in advertising on Linux enthusiasts sites as it's a rather small niche, and then on Linux there's an abundance of people using AdBlock, etc, that do much damage to the publisher. | Dec 05 21:40 |

| schestowitz | >> RMS has mailed me a lot since then. We spoke for 2.5 hours, it was very | Dec 03 10:24 |

| schestowitz | > | Dec 03 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > Awesome. Has his talk at the auditorium been put online? | Dec 03 10:24 |
| schestowitz | The person who sat next to me recorded it (audio) with good gear. I grabbed some video segments during the talk and checked out the results with my wife the other day. My finger sort of botched some videos (on top of his head), so I can release some as audio only. | Dec 03 10:24 |
| schestowitz | Maybe I should have recorded more of our chats. We covered a lot including Jolla, but it was off the record and informal. | Dec 03 10:24 |
| MinceR | i ascribed it to cognitive dissonance | Dec 03 10:44 |

| schestowitz | Hi Mark, | Dec 03 10:56 |
| schestowitz | I didn't tell RMS about any of our clients, I only said that the British government is starting to adopt more Free software. We chatted for 2.5 hours in person and since then we've been exchanging about half a dozen emails per day. His talk in Lincoln was excellent and well attended. | Dec 03 10:56 |
| schestowitz | He is trying to convince the academics there to only use Free software and to only ever use proprietary software for reverse-engineering projects (student projects). | Dec 03 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Over the next few months I will edit and publish some videos that we recorded. | Dec 03 10:56 |

| schestowitz__ | Our friends at The H have decided to close up shop. The Linux and open-source publication owned by Heise is no more. | Dec 05 21:40 |
| schestowitz__ | The H had been providing open-source and Linux articles for the past half-decade, but now this is another Linux site that's closing its doors. Similar to other enthusiast-oriented sites that have vanished, they basically shutdown for lack of profitability. | Dec 05 21:40 |
| schestowitz__ | In their closing message they note, "it has not been possible to effectively monetise that traffic to produce a working business model." | Dec 05 21:40 |
| schestowitz__ | Having been running Phoronix for the past nine years, I'm very well aware of the difficulties in running a Linux-oriented site especially when it comes to dealing with monetization. Many companies aren't interested in advertising on Linux enthusiasts sites as it's a rather small niche, and then on Linux there's an abundance of people using AdBlock, etc, that do much damage to the publisher. | Dec 05 21:40 |
