		<title>Blogging 101: Conducting interviews for media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A good friend of mine from the FLOSS community is going to be doing some interviews for his blog at an upcoming conference, and asked for a few tips on interviewing. Interviewing is not a science, but an art: And art requires practice.
I don't claim to be the world's best interviewer: Most of the interviews [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding sources for FLOSS projects: Make it easy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the more difficult things for reporters working in the tech industry, especially those who aren't really familiar with a beat, is finding contacts for free software projects.
Increasingly, projects like GNOME or openSUSE are in mainstream news, but finding someone to "speak for" those projects can be a challenge. This is doubly true when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing professionally: Do you really want to?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get a lot of emails from a friends, colleagues, acquaintances, or random strangers asking me how to get started writing. Since the question comes up a lot, I thought it might be worth a post here. Maybe it will help some of the people who haven't asked yet, or at least it'll give me [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Role in Journalism?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TechDirt points to a discussion about today's newsroom and the idea a new role in a newsroom: Curators. That is, someone who would help readers by sorting, organizing, verifying, and editing information that's already on the Web or in the media.
Traditional journalists might look down on this, as journalism programs really focus hot and heavy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple banning racy content? Why now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just read that Apple has tightened its restrictions on all the crap "boob, babe, and bikini" apps in the App Store. What took so long?
I get sick of seeing all the crap apps in the App Store, especially when Apple restricts legitimate but "competing" applications. If Apple is going to play gatekeeper, then they should [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Look at HTML Tidy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I love about the UNIX philosophy is the idea that each program should do one job and do it really well. There are zillions of small tools for UNIX-type OSes that make life much easier and are hugely useful, but they don't necessarily get written about. They certainly don't receive the same kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogging 101: Take a Tip from Newswriting with the Five W&#039;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Who? When? Why? What? Where? How? If you don't answer those questions, why bother blogging at all?
The "Five W's" as they're often called (and one H) are drilled into every journalism student as crucial for news-writing. Who is involved? When did it happen? Where did it happen? How and why did it happen? And, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Thunderbird Financially Sustainable: How it Could Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mozilla Messaging is looking forward to a big year in 2010 including Thunderbird 3.1 and figuring out how to make the project financially sustainable. Making Thunderbird better is the easier part. Figuring out how to make money as a project is another story entirely.
No doubt the next release of Thunderbird, currently code-named Lanikai, will do [...]]]></description>
