Hey everyone! I’m working on a couple of articles for Opensource.com and I need your input.
Thanks for your help!
As regular readers are aware, I am a Community Moderator for Opensource.com. This involves writing and recruiting content, tending to comments, and the like. On Wednesday, I learned that my fellow moderators selected me to receive this year’s Moderators’ Choice Award.
I struggle to find the words to express how honored I am. The Community Moderator team is incredible, not only in terms of their knowledge and writing ability, but as people. It’s a privilege to be counted among them. That they selected me for recognition is unbelievable. From my perspective, it’s all I can do to keep up.
I know this sounds way overdone, but it is fully sincere. It’s truly a pleasure to work with the team, including the Red Hat staff and the community at large. This is a great way to start the year, and I’m really looking forward to continuing my contributions.
Congratulations to all of the other community award winners this year. The community is what makes the site great.
Where have I been writing when I haven’t been writing here?
Over on Opensource.com, we had our second-ever month with a million page views! While I didn’t have any articles published, I did agree to coordinate the Doc Dish column, so there’s that.
Meanwhile, I wrote or edited a few things for work, too:
I also spoke at the All Things Open conference in Raleigh, NC. It went okay.
Where have I been writing when I haven’t been writing here?
Over on Opensource.com, we had another 900k+ page views in the month: the fourth time in site history and the second consecutive month. I contributed two articles:

It was another great month for Opensource.com. We had our second most page views and while I’m not saying it’s because I published three articles (after a nearly three-month hiatus), I’m just saying. ?
Speaking of writing for Opensource.com, October is our “Most Open Month”, when we try extra hard to feature new writers. Visit https://opensource.com/story and tell us your open source story.
Anyway, here are the articles I wrote last month:
It was a slow month for writing (and nothing else!) as you can tell from the Blog Fiasco posts. I did manage to contribute one article to Opensource.com this month:
Well, Opensource.com didn’t set any monthly traffic records this time around, but it was still another great month. I stepped up my contribution game this month, too:
I ended up only writing one article for Opensource.com this month, but it turned out to be pretty popular, garnering well over 10,000 views. However, that’s nothing compared to the over one million views the whole site had in the month of March. The final total is roughly 200,000 more than the previous monthly record. I’d like to congratulate the editorial team, my fellow Community Moderators, and all of the other Red Hat & community contributors who have worked so hard to reach this milestone. I’m honored to be a part of such a great team.
February was a great month for Opensource.com. We set records in daily page views, unique visitors, and traffic from search. Two of my articles were published in February:
Here are the articles I wrote for Opensource.com in December:
