After a long period of only sporadic activity, o3 Magazine, the open source enterprise magazine that I was executive editor/editorial advisor of from October 2005 until June 2006, announced via its twitter feed in July 2009 that it was no longer going to be updated.

The feed said that the site would remain up, but given that it disappeared for several months at one point in the past as well as the fact that, at the time of writing this, it is basically impossible to find the archived issues unless you know where to look, I thought it would be wise to offer up the past issues here so I can prove that it actually existed =]

I was actively involved in the magazine’s production from issue 1 until issue 3 or 4 (it was announced in issue 4 that I had left) plus a conference write up that never appeared in issue 5 since it was not released for several months after I left. However, I made it a point to snag each new issue as it came out just to take a glance.

I had thought about posting this archive on my website when the o3 site disappeared during their months-long redesign (yes, they apparently took the site down while they re-made it), but I decided not to. Now with their announcement and my own redesign complete, I don’t really have an excuse not to.

So without further ado, here are the 9 pdf issues of o3 Magazine. There were also a few web only articles released after the o3 site redesign, but I’m only going to be posting the actual magazine issues.

Hopefully it won’t kill my bandwidth *chuckles*
