Linux Voice is a Linux and open source magazine (print and digital) which began publication in the UK in 2014. It is sold on newsstands around the world.

History[edit]
The magazine started as a result of a successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in late 2013, which raised over £100,000.[1] The editorial staff of the magazine came entirely from the UK magazine, Linux Format. They resigned to pursue a different agenda in magazine/online publishing.[2][3] Editorial Director Andrew Gregory claimed the magazine will return a portion of profits to "the community that we serve".[3]
The magazine shares 50% of its yearly profits with reader voted FOSS projects.[4] The profits are split between 'software' and 'projects and distros' with the top 3 winners in each category receiving a part of the total funds.
Podcast[edit]
In addition to the magazine, the team produces a fortnightly podcast covering Linux and wider Free Software issues.[5]
