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 website for the magazine no longer exists, so 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 that the magazine is not going to be continued and the disappearance of the site, I don’t really have an excuse not to make the issues available here.

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.
