Linux Voice – A new Linux magazine that gives back

How would you compare the theme of your magazine to something like Phoronix - which tends to be somewhere between Engadget and LWN in its "hardcore-ness". Possibly they are the Linux version of Anandtech (e.g. their efforts to bisect the linux power regression [1] as well as the Phoronix test suite [2] for benchmarks )

Are you addressing a more casual audience ?

Phoronix is first and foremost a hardware and benchmarking site. Probably the best Linux hardware and bechmarking site. We're not going to compete with them on that.

We're going to covering a wider area. We'll feature some stuff on programming (though this will never get too hardcore -- we're a Linux mag, not a programming mag), we'll feature desktop Linux as well. We'll feature Linux gadgets where they're relavent, but we're not going to be a big gadget review mag. Some stuff on servers. Some stuff on hardware hacking. Basically, if you can do it on Linux, it'll have a place in Linux Voice.

In terms of "hardcore-ness", we'll aim to strike a balance so there's something for everyone.

We'll be addressing a casual audience insofar as it'll be written with humour and will be easy to read.
