Quite an odd article for raspberrypi.com While I am not a reader of the site, why would this be of interest to a Raspberry PI enthousiast?

Quite an odd article for raspberrypi.com
While I am not a reader of the site, why would this be of interest to a Raspberry PI enthousiast?
- giantrobot 5y agoThey apparently sell a Custom PC magazine through the site. Other articles are nominally about the Raspberry Pi but then some are PC focused. It's very confusing. The article is interesting but the site is confusing.
- tpmx 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custom_PC_(magazine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custom_PC_(magazine) In February 2019 the magazine, along with Digital SLR Photography Magazine, was sold to Raspberry Pi Trading, a subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
- lproven 5y agoThis. Custom PC was founded at Dennis Publishing, the UK publishers of PC Pro, Computer Shopper UK, MacUser UK, Computer Buyer & multiple other titles. I wrote for most of them, starting out on the staff of PC Pro and later I wrote the Linux column for Custom PC for its first year. (After that, they cancelled both their columns, sadly.) It's a good mag with a high level of tech expertise. They generously kept my free contributor's subscription running for well over a decade. :-) Dennis seems to be outsourcing its magazines now, and CPC got spun off to an independent production company headed by its editor, Ben Hardwidge, who I know personally from our previous career intersections. They've always given a lot of coverage to the RasPi and RasPi-related projects. Which is probably why the RasPi Foundation bought it. :-)
- giantrobot 5y agoThanks for the additional info! I don't check the RPi foundation site with any regularity and when I have it's only been RPi articles.
