Linux Journal and Cosource.com Announce Strategic Partnership
Aug 6th, 22:49 UTC
Two firms will collaborate to serve growing Linux community SEATTLE, WA -- Linux Journal and Cosource.com are proud to
announce their new effort to provide Linux users with direct access
from Linux Journal's web site to Cosource.com's facilities for
collaborative funding of software development. Cosource.com is
currently conducting a live beta test of their service. As new
requests for Linux software are posted, Linux Journal mirrors these
titles for the broader Linux community on their main home page at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/. This gives Linux users greater access
to developers who write Open Source software, while providing a
Linux-focused venue for learning about Cosource.com requests.
"Linux Journal is the premier information portal for Linux
users, and Cosource.com leverages the power of the cooperative
marketplace to drive new software development for the Linux operating
system," said Bernie Thompson, founder and CEO of
Cosource.com. "Together, we look forward to empowering the
growing Linux community with the tools to solve software
problems."
"The partnership between Linux Journal and Cosource.com is a
natural one," said Phil Hughes, Linux Journal
publisher. "Our readers rely on Linux Journal's loyalty to
community needs, while they also look to us for help in making Linux
work for them. Partnering with Cosource.com is a great way for us to
accomplish both goals by keeping folks informed and giving them tools
to resolve Linux issues."
As part of their partnering efforts, Linux Journal will host
Cosource.com at the upcoming Linux World Conference and
Exposition, August 9 through 12 in San Jose, California, and at
other upcoming Linux-related industry events.
