OMG! Ubuntu! boasts over 1.4 million unique visitors a month, who between them view over 7 million pages. Combined with 47,000 Facebook fans, 30,000 Twitter followers, and 13,000 Android app users, you'll fit right into our growing community.
We don't wait around twiddling our thumbs when updates land or announcements are made. We scour hundreds of mailing lists, change-logs and project pages; stay in touch with dozens of developers; check our inbox constantly, and live-blog keynotes to bring you only the most relevant news and content as quickly as possible.
OMG! Ubuntu! has readers dotted all around the world from all walks of life. Our lively comments section has given birth to new apps and projects; developers have sought and received valuable feedback; and bugs have been fixed thanks to passionate readers highlighting problems.
Our full time editorial staff includes Joey-Elijah Sneddon, a 23 year old journalist graduate from Lincoln University, and Benjamin Humphrey, a New Zealand-based professional designer, and founder of The Ubuntu Manual Project.
We're supported by guest writers from Canonical, Debian, Zeitgeist, The Banshee Project, elementary OS, and more.
We do our best to ensure that OMG! Ubuntu! is available to as many people as possible. We provide a mobile-optimized version, a dedicated Android application, and a Google Chrome extension. Our iPhone app, along with a tablet-optimized website will be available in early 2012. All are free of charge.
And of course, don't forget our Facebook page and Twitter account where new articles are published live.
We do more than report on projects - we like to help them too. From promoting awareness of 'real world' initiatives that support Linux, to raising money for innovative new open-source projects: we help as best we can. If you know a project in need, reach out to us and we'll see what we can do.
We run OMG! Ubuntu! on a dedicated eight core Ubuntu server from WebFusion UK to ensure the greatest uptime and fastest response, even on release day.
For the geeks: our site is built on the powerful and open source WordPress software and we use nginx to serve up static content.
Have you got any nifty ideas, would like to ask a question, or file a bug report? Give us a bell over on our Get Satisfaction account and one of us will reply as soon as possible.
Lastly, because we have to include these links, check out our Commenting Code of Conduct, and our Privacy Policy.
We hope you enjoy your experience as a member of the OMG! Ubuntu! community, welcome aboard!
