Just curious – does Xojo own xDev Magazine? Just noticing Dana Brown hawking the latest issue and the 2022 book version. I mean nothing in particular wrong if they are, other than it makes editorial independence a little bit suspect. But that’s nothing new in the B2B publishing world.
Dana makes the anouncements of many related products/services. Not only xojo owned things.
Marc Zeder owns it as far as I know.
Dana publishes announcements in her role as Director of Marketing at Xojo.
Thanks, I was just curious how much of a “house organ” it was(n’t). It is almost a moot question when the topic is a single-vendor product, so like I said, it’s of no great import. I suppose I should have just consulted the fine print on the cover page of any issue, come to think of it 
I think that depends on who you ask.

FWIW, if you have Xojo announcements you would like posted officially you just send an email to pr@xojo.com
Marc Zeedar
almost never active on forums etc
EDIT - like 5 or 6 posts in 2022
well Xojo IS a big advertiser n it
Ask @MarkusWinter about editorial independence 
It has a little as long as its not critical of Xojo and then they wield their “we’re a big advertiser and you’d hate to lose that” stick
EDIT : see posts starting here
That’s what I meant by “depends on who you ask”!

Which I find very strange.
Why strange? Maybe he is very bussy writing now that other contributors left xojo

And it continues to do great 
If someone likes to contribute to the magazine, feel free to contact Marc to add a few articles.
The xDev Magazine web site also looks like that time
I dont think there was any suggestion about xDevs’ success
More just “Marc’s not really active in the Xojo Forums and never has been”
I doubt xDev is his primary source of income and he’s busy doing other work
