</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Thanks for the news
sites - I hadn't heard of either one of them. I tried to look
for an new items that they both covered to give a sense of the
differences between LWN and Phoronix, but I was surprised that
so much of the content was unique to each site. The first
subject that I saw repeated was the Intel MMIO stale data
vulnerabilities. Here's a screenshot of LWN as they don't seem
to use separate webpages for the individual news articles: <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">And here is a link to
the Phoronix version of the story: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The Phoronix version
was much longer and had more comments (does that mean more
readers?), but I like LWN's simple design - it makes scanning
for news easier on my eyes (although I prefer one column instead
of the two that they use). Honestly, both are far too
detailed/technical for me and I agree that neither would be of
much interest to Linux newbies or most users (as opposed to
developers). <br>

Hi Brad,
Thanks for the outreach!
As for news sites, I read LWN and Phoronix. But I wouldn't recommend
those to Linux newbies.
LinuxQuestions is pretty good, but as a forum not really a news site.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi all,
In the search for new members or just people interested in learning
about open source software/Linux, I just posted about tonight's NBLUG
meeting on NextDoor Santa Rosa.
I included a few links for the vast majority of my Santa Rosa
neighbors who probably don't even know what Linux is or even open
source software is and have likely not intentionally used/sought out
any open source software. That got me thinking though - which
Linux/OSS news sites do NBLUG members use most frequently? When you
talk about Linux/OSS to someone who doesn't know/understand/use such
technology, what resources do you refer them to?
This is my NextDoor post, for anyone that wants to like/comment on it
and hopefully drive more attention to NBLUG:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://nextdoor.com/p/kz3bJfq3thYb?view=detail">https://nextdoor.com/p/kz3bJfq3thYb?view=detail</a>
As far as other promotional opportunities, I have thought that it
might make sense to reach out to the only makerspace that I know of
in Sonoma County, Chimera in Sebastopol: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.chimeraarts.org/">https://www.chimeraarts.org/</a>
I have also briefly talked to Janeen Murray at Sonoma County Go Local
Cooperative (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sonomacounty.golocal.coop/">https://sonomacounty.golocal.coop/</a>) about looking into
the potential uses of open source technology in locally based
businesses, as the big tech giants are the exact opposite of a local
business and open licensing allows local businesses to compete more
effectively with larger corporations.
Thanks!
Brad
