Hey Dave, <br> One thing I can do for you is add your blog to my regular RSS feeds for possible inclusion in Ubuntu Weekly News. I regularly scan a number of feeds for Ubuntu related news, and blogs like yours have the potential to be included in UWN's "In The Blogosphere." <br>
<br> I'll be reviewing your latest, and potentially including it in Ubuntu Weekly News # 191. Issue # 191 will be published Sunday at this link: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue191">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue191</a><br>

Hi,<br><br>I blog about Ubuntu Linux at <a href="http://www.kzenpragmaticist.org/search/label/Ubuntu" target="_blank">http://www.kzenpragmaticist.org/search/label/Ubuntu</a>
(my most recent entry is quoted below).<br><br>Can I / how do I request
a review for inclusion of my content on The Fridge?<br>

So, Why will Ubuntu Linux <b>WIN</b>? <i>(5-year horizon win)</i><i></i><br><p>Steve Jobs is a dying lunatic (sure, he's a genius but, as history
teaches us, lunacy and genius are NOT mutally exclusive), while Mark
Shuttleworth is a young, healty and imminently rational super-achiever
on a mission. Not to mention that this super-achiever leads a flock of
thousands of opensource developers (plus others) dedicated to the
success of Ubuntu Linux, while the lunatic tries to hold together an
over-supervised staff that live in fear. NB: this is <i>CLSASSIC</i>
Bazaar vs Cathredal stuff.</p><p>Mind you, I have NO doubt
that Apple will continue to see record profits AND grow its marketshare
year-on-year for the forseable future. </p><p>But, so will
Canonical (with, in my estimation, Ubuntu achieving marketshare parity
with OS X within 5 years); it is THIS suprise market disruption will be
Microsoft's undoing.</p><br>
