At the beginning of November, we let it be
known that we were looking to hire a writer/editor to augment the LWN
team. In past attempts, we have found it difficult to attract writers who
could produce the kind of content that LWN readers expect. This time
around, as we have said before, was different; we had a number of
candidates who could have filled the bill and were forced to make some
difficult choices.

While “hire them all” was an attractive idea, it was not one that our
budget would support. We did conclude, however, that we could stretch to a
second hire. So we are pleased to announce that the opportunity to bring
Joe Brockmeier on board was too good to pass up — so we didn’t. You will
start to see his work return to LWN within the next few days.
