Our children gifted with a subscription to Storyworth for Father’s Day this year and each week a new writing prompt arrives in my email inbox. This week the prompt was what are some hobbies you have pursued or want to pursue in your retirement. It took me a while to think about that topic. I am not a guy to put together model planes and I don’t have a train set. I don’t play golf.
I walk, tinker with computers and write. I didn’t think of writing as a hobby until this week and maybe it’s not exaclty a hobby in the traditional sense but it’s a way for me to share my thoughts and journey with the wider world. I have been blogging frequently since early 2006 and have written over nineteen hundred articles for my own blog. In addition I have written hundreds of articles that have been published on a variety of sites including Both.org where I am a regular contributor. I also write for Allthingsopen.org and TechnicallyWeWrite.com.
I have created most of my content this year for Both.org, where we focus on Linux and open source. We are seeking individuals who would like to share their Linux and open source journey with our audience. Our website has been attracting more and more visitors. If you have an open source story to share, we encourage you to join us. Later this month, I’ll be traveling to Raleigh, NC to attend All Things Open. This will be my tenth ATO, and I am excited to learn from the people I will meet.
Write for us! We have a style sheet with guidelines and we’d love for you to share your open source journey with us.
