FreeLinuxCD.org Looking For New Leader

Posted by timothy on from the got-burners dept.

GigsVT writes "Oktay Altunergil, Founder of FreeLinuxCD.org has posted the following: "It looks like I will not be able to continue the Free Linux [CD] Project any more, at least not in the foreseable future. Currently I have absolutely no time to put into the project because of other responsibilities. At this point, I am looking to pass the torch to somebody else, before the project dies alltogether." At its peak, freelinuxcd.org had several international chapters dedicated to sending out donated Linux discs for free. It would be a shame to see it go."

  1. Domain Name seems to be only thing to pass along.. by routerwhore · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not sure what there is to be continued since it was one guy giving people free linux CDs. If some other guy wants to do it, I'm sure they can do it, even though he has the fancy domain name. There are certainly plenty of other people giving away cds. Maybe he should donate the domain name to one of the other groups. http://www.roseindia.net/linux/freelinuxcd.htm http://linux.fotter.com/ http://www.linuxtrader.com/

  2. Why hide this story? by Rick+the+Red · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is this story hidden in "Developers"? This has nothing to do with development, it's a charity trying to evangelize Linux by sharing otherwise unused CDs among those who can't afford to buy them (or don't have a high-speed internet connection to download ISOs). This belongs on the front page.
