Ubuntu Members Get Free LWN Subs

by | Tue 24 Mar 2009

Good news, friends. From today [Canonical](https://www.canonical.com/) is contributing a new benefit to Ubuntu Membership: a complimentary subscription to the rather glorious [Linux Weekly News](https://lwn.net/). Our friends in Debian have been doing this for a while, and we thought this could be an excellent gesture too.

To enjoy this benefit you need to be a member of the Ubuntu project. You can then follow this devilishly simple process to switch on your free subscription:

* Apply for an account at LWN [by clicking here](https://lwn.net/newaccount).
* Send a mail to my friend and yours Rachael at rachael.tripp (at) canonical dot com (preferably using your ubuntu.com address) asking for a subscription sponsorship. This email MUST contain:
* Your LWN username
* Your Launchpad username.
* Rachael will then go and double check you are a member and not telling porkies.
* You will receive an email when the subscription has been accepted and is ready to roll (or read).

More details about this and other membership related benefits are [here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership).

Enjoy!

An invitation-only accelerator that develops industry-leading community engagement and growth via personalized training, coaching, and accountability...all tailored to your company's needs.
