I would like to take a moment to express my deep gratitude here: With the help of Discourse, the great team behind it, and the extraordinary community around it, we—the former team of WIRED Germany—were able to launch a new media platform in just a couple of weeks. Instead of taking the route many publishers follow—adding half-baked community features to their over-engineered CMS—we used all the available theme components and plugins and tried to give Discourse a magazine-like look and feel. And we’re very pleased with the results; please have a look:

1E9 is a German-language magazine, community, and conference platform focused on new technologies and their implications for society. We want to shape the future together with our community. To that end, we created a magazine section run by professional tech journalists, a public section (“campus”) for news and user-generated content, a variety of closed sections (“circles”) for nerds and experts, and a conference section for our first major event in July. Today, we launched the magazine. The community features that come with a paid membership will be available later this year, with a closed beta starting in the coming weeks. (We would like to invite the German-speaking Discourse community to a free membership. If you’re interested, please sign up here: [Willkommen bei 1E9!](https://forms.gle/2vm6iT87yzHNnkcX8))

So thanks again to all of you for helping us and providing such a great infrastructure for civilized discourse, indeed! Greatly appreciated. Here’s the link: [https://1e9.community](https://1e9.community)

Best,
