I need help, I want your bright ideas on how to celebrate running this corner if the web for seven years. The official GOL birthday is the 5th of July.
The oldest news available on this current form on GOL is from 2010. Don't you love how informative I was back then ;). Older news didn't make the cut to the two sites we had before this final one.
For our sixth birthday we did a Don't Starve Together livestream (see the pic here) where we all died in the end and it was quite funny. This time, I want something bigger.
I still find it funny the moment I let our original web address (gamingonlinux.info) expire some gambling company purchased it almost immediately.
Here's to hoping I am still here in another seven years!
Here's to you, the awesome readers who always tell me when I am doing something stupid (keep giving the awesome feedback you always give me!).
Special mention to Levi who keeps the server configured so I don't have to think about that side of it, we wouldn't be here without him.
Finally, here's to the editors past and present for helping me on this journey.
I have to say I'm impressed with the community we have here. I almost never get reports of users being terrible to each other and the comments in general are usually informative and helpful. Keep being awesome you guys!
It's also my own birthday next month, someone save me from old age.
Oh yeah, why was I writing this early? Give me ideas on how to celebrate GOL being around for another year! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: wojtek88How to celebrate?
1) Tournament in 7 games,
2) All the time rank of 7 best articles in GOL,
3) Your's rank of 7 best games you've played on Linux,
4) Samsai's rank of 7 best games he has played on Linux,
5) Comunity rank of 7 best games they played on Linux,
6) GOL giveaway of 7 Steam keys of 7 great games running on Linux
7) Giveaway from 7 GoL users of their keys that they have never used in the bundles (I've given away some keys, but I have one new that may be very interesting for Linux users :) )
What's most important - do all the 7 listed above points.
That's my idea :).
I second these ideas.

Here is my idea
----------------
Create a huge virtual birthday cake with GamingOnLinux Logo and 7 candles and cut it in small squares according to the numbers that will participate.
for example if you have 100 participants you will cut the cake in 100 pieces.
So how we play this game?
We will do it Live on Twitch and if you can create a nice Virtual Cake and broadcast it Live that would be awesome :D
Each participant submits a request or a giveaway so that the other participant has to do it but everything has to be under Linux Gaming or Under Linux OS. Each request or giveaway will be summited secretly to Liam by a pm
Each one who submits a request or a give away is automatically a participant so in case he or her missed the live broadcast his assignment will be posted to the forum of what he or she has to do :P
For example
cake piece No. 1 --> Finish the Game Hand of Fate
cake piece No. 2 --> Do the achievement of the Game Fran Bow --> I found my way out
Or we can add some Hilarious requests or whatever your imagination desires but not very offensive requests just things under Linux or if you fill very generous you can give away some nice Linux games.
So we do this small party Live on Twitch TV and the participants get a random cake number.
So at the end all people will have to do something and some other may get some nice giveaways.
Ofc we will open a forum with the tasks that everyone has to do and the participants have to post pictures that they have done the requested assignment..
Hope you like this idea :D
