What is cron.weekly?#
Cron.weekly is a weekly-ish newsletter written by Mattias Geniar . It includes a lot of the interesting links and information I find throughout the week.
The goal is to share as much information as possible, promote other projects and individuals and become a go-to resource for staying informed about the Linux, open source & web development industry.
The focus is very much on Linux and open source, with a web development preference of PHP (because that’s my background).

Privacy first#
I’m a big privacy fan. For that reason:
- I don’t track email opens in the newsletter
- I don’t track which links are being clicked
- Your e-mail address is the only piece of information I store on my own servers
In other words: the e-mail you get from me contains all the information for you to read & click through, no data will be sent to my servers(*).
If you see ways I could improve it even more, do tell me!
(*) Except for the header & footer images, these are not being used to track opens as they contain nothing to uniquely identify you.
Advertising#
If you want to have your product or service promoted in the newsletter, have a look at the sponsorship program .
Some things to keep in mind:
- I don’t track opens & clicks (the link you provide me should do that, if you want that kind of tracking)
- Newsletter advertising works best if you can repeat it at least 2-4 times
- Your content should be a good fit for the audience. Make sure it’s high quality & targetted to Linux or open source users or web developers.
Previous sponsors include Datadog , GoCD , Oh Dear , DNS Spy & plenty of others .
