EOF

Doc Searls’ back-page column for Linux Journal, running from December 2007 through September 2019. It was called "EOF" (End Of File) for most of that run; in 2018 it sometimes ran unbranded as "the editorial," and from mid-2019 it was called "FOE" and then "FTE." One piece is presented per month; where multiple drafts existed, the most likely final version was chosen.
