Hi, I'm the founder of Le Journal du hacker. Indeed the focus is tighter, mostly tech, Open source/Free Software, individual rights and entrepreneurship.
Enthousiasm is paramount in community work. But managing server infrastructure is more and more complex and it won't go simpler. People should consider joining associations which would be responsible, not individuals. Maybe less servers but larger and better managed ones. Associations are more resilient than individuals.
It seems to me this guy should be fired. But good for him if he can disguise his inabilities to manage the transition to full remote. As a employee I would flee such a company.
A bit of history of the project :) We started by using the name "journal du pirate" but lots of French people disliked this name because in French "Pirate" is more associated to illegal hacking, so it would damage the image of the project. After a vote of the early users, we switched to "Journal du hacker".
Tout à fait ! Pour l'instant nous sommes assez orientés France avec aussi des contributions québecoises, mais nous aimerions que l'ensemble des producteurs de contenus IT francophones utilisent l'outil.
