From: "B. E. Irwin" <beirwin@shaw.ca> To: lwn@lwn.net Subject: Loads of Linux Links (LoLL)-- 3000+ GPLed, subject-classified, and searchable Linux links for all levels of Linux users Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:25:42 -0800 (PST) Stable Release of Loads of Linux Links (LoLL)--version 1.0.0 What: 3000+ subject-classified and searchable Linux links for all levels of Linux users How: The Loads of Linux Links (LoLL) project data (a GPLed bookmark file and configuration files) are processed with bk2site (http://bk2site.sourceforge.net) to form SourceForge and VLUG versions of the Loads of Linux Links website Why: Provides convenient access to information needed by all levels of Linux users Where: LoLL home page (http://loll.sourceforge.net), project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/loll), file release area (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42381), and either a SourceForge version (http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links) or VLUG version (http://vlug.org/linux/links) of the Loads of Linux Links website Who: Andrew Willard (willychilly@users.sourceforge.net) and Barbara E. Irwin (beirwin@users.sourceforge.net) The purpose of the Loads of Linux Links project is to collect, organise, classify and maintain important URLs about Linux and the Open Source movement for all levels of Linux users. The LoLL project now has 3000+ links which are updated regularly. This project originally began as a service for the Victoria Linux Users' Group (VLUG, http://vlug.org) but in the true spirit of Linux, we decided to share this valuable resource with the wider Linux community by putting the Loads of Linux Links project on SourceForge. Like Linux, this is a work in progress, so stay tuned here for futher update announcements concerning additional links and revised subject categories. Also, like Linux, no one owns this project -- it's GPLed so the project can never be hijacked by proprietary interests! The current contributors to the project are Andrew Willard, past president of VLUG with extensive experience with Linux hardware and software; Barbara E. Irwin, current vice-president of VLUG with 30 years experience as a professional librarian; and, most importantly, users of LoLL who submit new or changed Linux-related URL's for the project with the assurance that their contribution will remain under the GPL forever.
