The ldp-discuss mailing list has become quite active with topics. It seems the latest is what is the most appropriate license for the Linux Documentation Project. Personally I am of the OPL, others are vehement for the GPL (imagine that) others are waiting for the DGPL... Let your voice be heard, subscribe to ldp-discuss by sending email to ldp-discuss-request@lists.linuxdoc.org with the word subscribe in the body of the message.

It is official. The winner of the logo contest will receive at no cost (that's free folks) a 17" Monitor and 32meg Riva TNT card!

Poet has released an auto update to the Net3/4 Howto. If you have something that you would like to see in the Net3/4 Howto that is currently not included, click here! This is a beta test and features will be added. Part of this is to see how well it works so that it may be implemented into other documents if authors would like.
