Maxim,

I'm not sure why these aren't in a more obvious place but I dug up pdf
versions of the Journal vol 1-3
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_2/en-us/OSGeoJournal_vol2.pdf
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_3/en-us/OSGeoJournal_vol3.pdf
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_1/en-us/final_pdfs/OSGeoJournal_vol1.pdf

I'll see about getting them linked in a more obvious place.

Thanks,
Alex
