About us

At Delimiter we’re passionate about just two things: Technology and Australia.

We exclusively cover the local technology sector — including enterprise IT and telco stories, as well as consumer technology and gaming in the Australian context; leaving international coverage to those overseas. Our audience is primarily IT professionals and early technology adopters.

In terms of our editorial style, we’re not a traditional news site such as that might be operated by a newspaper; but we’re not a purely opinion-based site either. And although we do reviews, we’re not a pure reviews house. Our style contains all of these elements and more, but we’re not bound by any of them. Delimiter is something more complex. The best words that could describe what we do are “blog” and also “community”.

The site is published by LeMay & Galt Media, a Sydney-based independent publishing house established in January 2010 by well-known Australian journalist and writer Renai LeMay. Site contributors include our reviewer, Jenneth Orantia, as well as other bloggers, journalists and IT professionals. You can read Renai’s article on why he started Delimiter.

The name ‘Delimiter’ is a technology term which you might have heard referred to in the context of databases, which we found particularly appropriate in the context of the evolving nature of the online news stream. Wikipedia states:

“A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data streams.”

We maintain a Privacy Policy for Delimiter which sets out how we may use your data on the site, as well as a separate Terms and Conditions document which indicates your rights and our rights for the site’s operation.
