Subscriptions to "Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram" are offered free to qualified readers. Today's premier issue of the newsletter and an annual subscription can be ordered at www.sys-con.com/linux/subscribe.cfm.
The new online newsletter is published by G2 Computer Intelligence, Inc. and distributed by Linux Business Week. It has an initial distribution of 60,000 readers and is expected to double its subscription base by the end of this year. The newsletter aims to reach the core of the Linux community, with a targeted readership of CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, Corporate i-Technology Managers, and Senior Decision Makers. With an unsurpassed circulation mix of key decision makers, influential early adopters, and i-technology professionals, "Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram" is also expected to be an indispensable advertising and communication vehicle for the Linux industry.
O'Gara's resume is impressive prior to founding Sea Cliff, Long Island-based, G2 Computer Intelligence, but it's more impressive since. She was the founding editor on CMP's Computer Systems News and blazed the CMP trail to the West Coast, where she was bureau chief; then on to Europe, where she was Computer Systems News's first European correspondent. She has been a contributing editor to UNIX Today, Datamation, Mini-Micro News, and Computergram as well as the international editor of Computer Marketing. Since launching Unigram.X in the U.S., she has stalked the aisles of Uniforum with a vengeance, leaving a trail of shaking, sweating VPs of many a UNIX supplier. She also haunts the corridors of the Microsoft powerbase and gives her newsletters some of their sharp edge. Famous for her confrontational style in press conferences she is single-handedly the reason why most companies in the sector have abandoned having press conferences. Maureen doesn't just get stories but she gets to the heart of stories.
"We are very excited to bring Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram to the most influential readers of the Linux community," said Fuat Kircaali, founder and CEO of SYS-CON Media. "O'Gara's honest investigative reporting, coupled with her unmatched expertise of the industry will make this newsletter a bestseller and an indispensable source of quality news and information."
"I'm very pleased to bring LinuxGram to the readers of SYS-CON's Linux Business Week magazine," said Maureen O'Gara, founder and publisher of G2 Computer Intelligence, Inc. "We are dedicated to publishing news that means business for the top decision makers of the Linux industry. With SYS-CON's deep reach of targeted and qualified readership, we hope to make a positive difference for the industry."
"Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram will be one of the most effective advertising and marketing vehicles for the Linux industry," said Carmen Gonzalez, executive vice president of advertising sales for SYS-CON Media. "We will offer a limited number of sponsorship opportunities at "Maureen O'Gara's LinuxGram" and sponsorship opportunities for the newsletter will be extended by invitation only."
