Linux Journal Ceases Publication
============================================================
EOF
It looks like we’re at the end, folks. If all goes according to a plan we’d rather not have, the November issue of Linux Journal was our last.
The simple fact is that we’ve run out of money, and options along with it. We never had a wealthy corporate parent or deep pockets of our own, and that made us an anomaly among publishers, from start to finish. While we got to be good at flying close to the ground for a long time, we lost what little elevation we had in November, when the scale finally tipped irrevocably to the negative.
While we see a future like publishing’s past—a time when advertisers sponsor a publication because they value its brand and readers—the advertising world we have today would rather chase eyeballs, preferably by planting tracking beacons in readers' browsers and zapping them with ads anywhere those readers show up. But that future isn’t here, and the past is long gone.
There is some hope, we suppose, that a savior might come through; but it will have to be one willing to pick up some of our debt, in addition to our brand, our archive, our domains and our subscribers and readers. If you know anyone who can make a serious offer, let us know. Otherwise, watch LinuxJournal.com and hope that at least our legacy archives (which go back to Linux Journal’s birth in April 1994, when Linux hit 1.0) won’t go away. There’s a lot of great stuff here, and a lot of history we’d hate the world to lose.
Our biggest regret is that we don’t even have enough money to return to the people who have valued us most: our subscribers. For that we could not apologize more deeply or sincerely. What we do have for subscribers:
Linux Pro Magazine has offered our subscribers six free issues of their magazine, a publication we at Linux Journal have always admired. In our time of need, they were the first ones there for us, and we are thankful for their gracious offer. We also just finished up our 2017 archive today, which includes every issue we’ve ever published, including the first and last ones. Normally we sell that for $25, but obviously subscribers will get it for no cost. Subscribers, watch for an e-mail with details about both.
We also hope there is some solace in knowing that we worked very, very hard at keeping Linux Journal going, and we’ve been doing that for a long time, running the leanest, smallest possible operation we could. We are a collection mostly of volunteers, and some of our employees haven’t been paid in months. We still owe money to freelancers as well. There is a limit to how long a publisher can maintain those neglects, and that limit has now been reached.
It has been a great run, folks. A big hats-off to everyone who contributed to our birth, our success and our persistence over these many years. We’d run the credits now, but the list would be too long, and the risk of leaving worthy people out would be too high. You know who you are. Our thanks again.

Linux Journal 停止发行
============================================================
EOF
伙计们，看起来我们要到终点了。如果按照计划而且没有什么其他的话，十一月份的 Linux Journal 将是我们的最后一期。
简单的事实是，我们已经用完了钱和期权。我们从来没有一个富有的母公司或者自己深厚的资金，从开始到结束，这使得我们变成一个反常的出版商。虽然我们在很长的一段时间内运营着，但当天平不可恢复地最终向相反方向倾斜时，我们在十一月份失去了最后一点支持。
虽然我们像看到出版业的过去那样看到出版业的未来 - 广告商赞助出版物的时代，因为他们重视品牌和读者 - 我们如今的广告宁愿追逐眼球，最好是在读者的浏览器中植入跟踪标记，并随时随地展示那些广告。但是，未来不是这样，过去的已经过去了。
我们猜想，有一个希望，那就是救世主可能会会来。但除了我们的品牌、我们的档案，我们的域名、我们的用户和读者之外，还必须是愿意承担我们一部分债务的人。如果你认识任何人能够提供认真的报价，请告诉我们。不然，请观看 LinuxJournal.com，并希望至少我们的遗留归档（可以追溯到 Linux Journal 诞生的 1994 年 4 月，当 Linux 命中 1.0 发布时）将不会消失。这里有很多很棒的东西，还有很多我们会痛恨世界失去的历史。
我们最大的遗憾是，我们甚至没有足够的钱回馈最看重我们的人：我们的用户。为此，我们不能更深刻或真诚地道歉。我们对订阅者而言有什么：
Linux Pro Magazine 为我们的用户提供了六本免费的杂志，我们在 Linux Journal 上一直赞叹这点。在我们需要的时候，他们是我们的第一批人，我们感谢他们的恩惠。我们今天刚刚完成了我们的 2017 年归档，其中包括我们曾经发表过的每一个问题，包括第一个和最后一个。通常我们以 25 美元的价格出售，但显然用户将免费获得。订阅者请注意有关两者的详细信息的电子邮件。
我们也希望在知道我们非常非常努力地让 Linux Journal 进行下去后能有一些安慰 ，而且我们已经用最精益、小的可能运营了很长一段时间。我们是一个大多数是自愿者的组织，有些员工已经几个月没有收到工资。我们还欠钱给自由职业者。这时一个限制发行商能够维持多长时间的限制，现在这个限制已经到头了。
伙计们，这是一个伟大的运营。乡亲。对每一个为我们的诞生、我们的成功和我们多年的坚持作出贡献的人致敬。我们列了一份名单，但是列表太长了，并且漏掉有价值的人的风险很高。你知道你是谁。我们再次感谢。
