Free Software Magazine (FSM) was a China-based attempt, in 2002, at a free-content magazine, typeset with LaTeX, on the Free Software Movement, free software and related issues, which was very similar to the more recent globally distributed Free Software Magazine.
It was created by Hong Feng under the auspices of RON's Datacom Co., Ltd.. The magazine (which was published on paper and the WWW) only had three issues before the project was halted.
Famous quotes containing the words free and/or magazine:
“Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government, and consequent prosperity. No oppressed, people will fight, and endure, as our fathers did, without the promise of something better, than a mere change of masters.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.”
—C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)
