Phoronix Now 15 Years Old, Phoronix Test Suite Hits 11 - A Look Back By The Numbers

[Adarion]

Happy belated birthday!
Thanks for being a / THE site with a clear focus on Linux (BSD/FOSS) + its interaction with hardware.
Here, have an assortment of virtual beers.

Hopefully we'll see many years to come.

Happy birthday, sorry that this had to be edited in, I generally focus on what I am about to address before thinking how to post.

Thanks.

I do accept guest posts that come in occasionally. The problem with advertising it more is likely to get more spam/bullshit sent in. Already several times a week I get cold emails about "guest posts" that either are spammy articles with various links trying to promote whatever company's own products/services or other garbage like that along those lines. Or occasionally some random people trying to submit articles like "how to install XYZ program on Linux" and wanting money for such an article on a silly topic.

Thanks for the explanation (I know that post was directed at others), though I don't understand why I did not receive an answer to the email I had sent you about possibly working for you.

Gratz on 15 years! Phoronix is one of the select few daily reads for me and has been for many years.
Thanks for all the great work, really appreciated!

Yeah, you are right Except Michaels energy is more like the energy in Energizers Lithium batteries...

Michael I second this.

Also, you should take a little vacation to celebrate and post a picture.

Happy Birthday, and here's to another 15 years (and preferably more)!

Happy birthday Phoronix, keep up the interesting work Michael

A thought: For those who are Phoronix Premium, why not give them a Premium status of some sort on the forum so they can show it off a little?

Amzazing things that you have achieved!
Congratz!

i was a bit suprised about this, too - never knew michael was open for guest-articles ^^

Happy birthday!

You say often that you are the only contributor, but I've never heard you ask for additional writers. Maybe add a banner/link on the home page saying something like "Write for Phoronix? Click here!" or something like that.

So, that comes out to a little more than 5 articles a day. That's a lot for one person (Michael did well over 99.9% of them).

Phoronix, to me, has been a major contributor to the development of Linux and other open-source projects, mostly by just simply bringing attention/awareness to things, good or bad.
