[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Journal Now Available

[Dan Putler]

Hi Dan,

It is an interesting idea. Although, I think some thought would need  
to be put into the scope of the articles that would be a fit for this  
outlet. Would the focus be on scientific analysis that happened to be  
carried out using FOSS4G products, or would it be about software  
tools specifically developed to carryout scientific analyses? What  
would be the discipline scope of the articles? Could your paper on a  
study of the impact of irrigation run-off in the Snake River water  
shed be next to mine on my new model for retail site location that  
addresses demand from local residential and workforce population,  
along with demand from mobile customers (allowing us to have a  
hydrology and a marketing paper side-by-side)?

In any event, I'm very interested in the idea, and would be willing  
to be part of a committee on  the topic, which seems like the logical  
next step if there is any interest.

Dan
