This Week in SMGL is back! This actually should have been posted yesterday, but this will get the ball rolling and you should start seeing it posted on Sunday most of the time. This Week in SMGL started as a popular blog entry created by developer Andrew "afrayedknot" Stitt with help from developer Juuso "iuso" Alasuutari on the official Source Mage web site . The weekly blog entry would highlight Source Mage GNU/Linux news from the previous week. Many developers and users have asked for this to make a come back, so here it is!
Last week Mage Power posted it's very first interview. Jaka "lynx" Kranjc was interviewed and it was posted on many of the major Linux news sites. It was a great success. Many other interviews are planned.
A question was posted to the SM-Discuss mailing list asking for a Source Mage Installer howto complete with screen shots. Andraž "ruskie" Levstik informed us that Juan Carlos G. Torres (Jucato) had written an installer howto. It is a very nice howto and you can read it on his web site.
Andraž "ruskie" Levstik nominated Paul "novaburst" Beel for a lead developer position and also for a title of PR Wizard. There is currently no PR component in the organization, so it's mostly an honorary title. It was seconded by Jaka "lynx" Kranjc and accepted by Paul. Voting will begin soon.
Andraž "ruskie" Levstik wrote an initial version specification for the IMP. You can view it here: http://wiki.sourcemage.org/IMP
Ruskie welcomes any needed changes or suggestions. Here is the description from the wiki page. "This work in progress tool will be used to manage init scripts, xinetd scripts and any other service control scripts that we might provide."
Stable Grimoire 0.14 was released. It was posted here on Mage Power. You can read the details here: http://www.sourcemage.org/node/2398
Last but not least, Source Mage has exceeded it's goal to pay for all of the needed internet resources. David Kowis did a great job in explaining all of the needs. Donations are still welcomed and will be put to good use!

Wow! Thanks for the special mention. I'm in the process of migrating the guide to http://wiki.sourcemage.org/InstallingSourceMage so that it will be available to more users. I'd love to be able to do some fancy formatting, though.
Congratulations on the nomination, novaburst!
No problem and sounds good Jucato.
Thank you!
imo it should have been a monthly thing, but I guess you of all people can find something here or there to post, specially since there is much more activity as-of late
Well, I had the same thoughts. But, I thought I would try weekly and see how it goes. It may still turn into a monthly post. I figured there was no harm in trying weekly at first.
I'm very glad to see you guys post comments or suggestions. Thank you for reading!
:)
Any chance of making "This Week in SMGL" to show among the DistroWatch newsletters? In any case, thanks for your effort. It's really nice to see what's currently happening in Source Mage. :-)
I'm not sure, but I will definitely try!
