==''Free Software Daily''== '''''Free Software Daily''''' ('''''FS Daily''''') was a [[website]] originally created by the staff of FSM that posted summaries of articles about [[free software]]. At first, it was based on [[Slash (weblog system)|Slash]] and was similar in nature to [[Slashdot.org]]. However, the project died before it could gain momentum, mainly because of the huge hardware resources required by Slash and the time constraints of the FSM staff. The FSM website's blogs somewhat filled the gap that ''Free Software Daily'' originally planned to fill. But later, ''FS Daily'' came back, first as a [[Pligg]] based site,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/fsdaily_is_back |title=Free Software Daily is back! |date=2007-06-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613010701/http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/fsdaily_is_back |archive-date=2007-06-13 }}</ref> and then as a [[Drigg]] site. Drigg was developed by Free Software Magazine's editor Tony Mobily specifically for FSDaily. However, Drigg is now available as a standard [[Drupal]] module. Although Free Software Magazine and Free Software Daily share similar motives and a common root, they are no longer directly connected.<ref>[http://www.fsdaily.com/Community/FSD_Community_for_Support_and_Suggestions#comment-3188 Dave Guard of FSDaily on FSM & FSD]</ref>
