Editorial
by Ismael Ripoll
In the beginning, I joined the LinuxFocus project
because I thought Spanish speakers needed a free
GNU/Linux magazine. At that time all the articles
received at LF were originally written in english, and
most of the work was to translate them to Spanish. It was
not easy to foresee the great welcome it was going to get
from Spanish and Latin America people. Success was backed
by the high number of collaborators (currently more than
90), the great number of readers, and the technical press
recognition.
Before starting LinuxFocus, projects like LuCAS (Linux
in CAStilian) or SLUG (Spanish Linux User Group) already
made Linux documentation in Spanish. Their main goal was,
and still is, to translate the documentation produced by
the the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) to Spanish. Our
goal is similar in the sense that we produce
documentation about GNU/Linux in Spanish, but from a
pedagogical point of view. We think that not only the
technical contents of the articles are important but also
the way the information is presented.
LinuxFocus is more than a hobby and a source of
pleasure to all the people that collaborate in the
project, it is also a way to open up new professional
areas. Authors, translators and reviewers are always
training and showing their skills and knowledge. This
kind of knowledge is what is required by most
enterprises.
LinuxFocus is a cross road of people with knowledge
who want to share their knowledge with others, and
readers who want something more than just an introduction
to the wonderful world of Linux.
