Individual Supporters

Individuals wishing to contribute to the site with articles, relevant news they found, word of mouth, a link on their homepage or just their daily visit are the foundation of this Initiative!

If you wish to take an active role, please let Kornel know what you are offering and we'll see how to put you to work to the best of your abilities and our needs.

Supporting Websites

Everyone knows that getting heard is the first step to moving things. On the WWW this means getting linked to, plain and simple.

If Linux is supposed to become a market to game companies and cutting-edge for the hardware makers, our campaign must meet its mission of promoting the platform and making Linux support an integral essential of marketing efforts for these companies. Only when Linux on the box is as much a requirement as the airbag in a new car, people will have an easy choice for the best gaming platfom.

We will have to do the uphill battle for them.

This means rallying a large crowd of supporters behind the initiative to show these people that they can sell their stuff to someone and a vocal, disciplined group of supporters will be able to make Linux support a must.

It also means convincing a lot of hapless Windows players that Linux is offering them a better experience than what they consider the way of the world.

If you are a webmaster or editor-in-chief of a gaming, Linux or hardware website with relevance to 3D gaming, you are in a key position of making this initiative succeed, do your readership a lot of good - and it will make your site look good for picking up such a good cause of the community.

Additionally you'll benefit from your participation by having your banner (standard ad banner size, smaller than 18 kb) shown on the pages of Linux3D.net, which will make you more widely known and gets you additional readers as they will be linked back to your site. All supporting websites will receive equal exposure.

You will display your support by carrying a button sized badge on your main page (and others, if you like), which we'll supply for linking from here to keep it cost neutral for you and make it possible to change the design without a lot of updating hassle.

If you do review work, we ask that you give a bonus for Linux support of products and withhold your top honors for products that do not support Linux out of the box, this will be a strong incentive for manufacturers to act as it will mean a competitive advantage!

Finally, we will not compete with you, we'll bring the work of all contributors to focus. We leave all reviews to our supporting websites and cover daily only news relevant to Linux gaming, this will not hurt you - in fact we'll mention your reviews if they are in support of the initiative!

If I convinced you to join forces with us, contact me.

Industry Supporters

If you have a commercial interest in Linux, you are likely to have the ability to support this initiative with high quality information relevant to our cause or even drivers or games themselves.

This makes you valuable for the community as it grows and gives you a competitive advantage if you get aboard early.

We are not stupid and realize that the business world is not giving out freebies, so our deal is that if you make these things available to the community or write us the games we want to buy and play on Linux, you too will get exposure on the banner space, without regard of your company's size, as if you were a supporting website, for free.

The larger we get, the more people you'll reach, the more your participation will pay off. Do the math. Get in on it right now. Contact me.
