[OSGeo-Discuss] Seeking Articles, Reports, and Volunteers for Volume 9 of the OSGeo Journal

[Landon Blake]

I don't think there is a problem covering other programs or libraries, as long as they are open source and related to geospatial data. I'll let Tyler comment on that question if he is listening. At the end of the day, the Journal belongs to all the OSGeo members, so my opinion isn't the one that counts. :]

 

However, I think we would have skimpy content if we limited ourselves to only talking about OSGeo software projects.

 

You can also submit articles that are related to geospatial topics or the geospatial industry. They don't have to be articles about a specific program.

Hi Landon,

 

Is the journal exclusively for OSGeo projects or can other open source software projects contribute?

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers,

Ann

While Tyler Mitchell is working hard to wrap up the work and publish Volume 8 of the OSGeo Journal, I've started work with some of our other volunteers on Volume 9. We hope to publish Volume 9 at the beginning of April.

 

Please let me know if you are interested in contributing an article to Volume 9, or if you can volunteer to help put it together. We need authors, reviewers, editors, and LaTex handlers.

 

As a reminder, you can also submit articles for publication in the peer-review section of the Journal.

 

Volume 9 will also be filling the role of our annual report. So I'll be asking each OSGeo Project and OSGeo Chapter for a brief report about last year's activities. We'd like to get all articles and reports for Volume 9 submitted by the end of February so our volunteer team will have time to review and request revisions from the authors.

 

If you want to help or submit material for Volume 9, please e-mail me (sunburned.surveyor at gmail.com) or let us know on the Journal mailing list:

You can find the wiki page for Volume 9 here:

Thanks,
