[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Journal Volume 2

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Hi everyone, I meant to send this out a lot earlier.  This is your  
invitation to submit articles and ideas for the upcoming Volume 2 of  
the Journal.  We have a pretty full plate already, but I wanted to  
make one last call for participation.  There is also room in volume 3.

Please contact me directly (off list) if you have time over the next  
week to write and are interested in putting in an article.

See below for some more information for authors...

p.s. to those who did commit to writing, you have just over 1 week to  
get the first draft complete.

> Thank you for helping spread the word about your projects and  
> successful use of open source!
>
> There are a few things you need to know and consider:
>
> 1 / Please note who the editor is for the content category of your  
> article:
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Journal#Production_Team  - If there  
> is no one listed for your category, then I am your editor. Please  
> confirm with your editor (cc:'d here) that you will write the  
> proposed article.
>
> 2 / Clarify title and category.  Some articles and writers are only  
> proposed at this time and not finalised.  Please review the above  
> URL and check that your title, topic and category represent what  
> you plan to write.
>
> 3 / Article drafts are due ** June 22nd **, with final submissions  
> due by July 3rd (at the latest).  If these timelines are too tight,  
> then we will likely need to delay your article into the next volume.
>
> 4 / LaTeX formatting.  We use the LaTeX formatting/layout system  
> for typesetting the Journal.  If you are comfortable using it then  
> we encourage you to do so.  A simple template is available:
> http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/template/article.tex  However,  
> if this is a barrier for you, our editorial team will gladly do the  
> conversion from OpenOffice, HTML or even Word .doc format for you.
>
> 5 / Licensing.  We have chosen a Creative Commons licence for the  
> Journal.  For more information about what this means for your  
> readers and you, as an author, see:
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Journal_License_and_Guidelines
>
> I look forward to seeing your work and thank you for your interest  
> in the Journal.
>
> Sincerely,
> Tyler
