<div dir="ltr">Hi all. I wonder if it is time again for an announcement to the general OSGeo list calling for technical papers for OSGeo Journal? I see nine articles in the queue for Volume 5, but not any technical or research papers for the peer review process. Are there other places where we could issue a call for papers? Perhaps getting project leaders to post such a call to individual project lists would be good... ? - Dan<br>

</div>I have at least 2 more articles which have been submitted in the last couple<br>
of months and will ask the authors to submit it via OJS.<br>
<br>
Others are already in svn without touching OJS.<br>
<br>
However I am still pretty much busy in the next months and will be abroad<br>
nearly all august till december, so I am only of little help, but will try to<br>
help as much as I can.<br>
<br>
regards Martin<br>
