Campaign update
As we reach our goal already, we can convert to wiki format and publish 35 monthly issues form the last-years archive articles from "Linux Format Russia" magazine on wiki for free. As we have opportunity to raise additional funds, we will spend extra money to support of official Linux Format Russia Torrent with 93 monthly issues шт PDF format (last-years archive 09.2005-05.20013). Many thanks to all of you for support! Now we feel the power of community!

Now
we need to publish the articles archive of the last 35
monthly issues of Linux
Format Russia on
wiki with free access to everyone, and promote free&open-source technologies in Russian-speaking community all over the world.
Why is it important to us?
We believe that computer science
education system in Russia, as well as young developers and inventors, should
have much more information about the power of free & open-source technologies => so that the Russian community would grow and contribute more to the world-wide
free & open-source projects to improve life on the planet Earth.
With your help we hope to reach 55,000+ Russian schools and all universities with Linux Format articles wiki, how-tos and
tutorials about the power of free & open-source technologies.
What do we need money for?
We need to collect the amount of $7,000 to convert the articles into wiki
format and publish the articles archive of the last 35 monthly issues of Linux
Format Russia with
free access to everyone ($200 per one monthly issue for managing the process of convertation all articles into wiki format).
If
we collect less than $7,000 we will convert and publish proportionally
less amount of monthly issues (for example if we collect $2,000 we
will convert and publish 10 monthly issues).
