Hi all,</div>

<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Over the years the Journal has been both an OSGeo newsletter of activity and a publication
of peer reviewed articles. The OSGeo Journal has not been indexed*. The OSGeo Journal has been dormant for many years. The previous effort and interest that brought it to fruition seems to have dwindled. Probably the best representation of the Journal
is this archive page: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191227055543/http://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal" id="LPlnk868942" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable">

<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">There are various web pages, wiki pages, SVN repos, and other project-related matters
that are outdated. Part of responsibly winding down the effort would be putting notes there that the Journal is no longer active. </span></div>

<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Over on the Journal email list,

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/newsletter/2024-February/thread.html</a>, we are discussing archiving the project and responsibly putting it into dormancy. Part of that effort is to see if there is interest or another home for the Journal. If there is interest
and volunteers to restart/continue/rehome the Journal, please join that discussion over on the Journal list. Efforts are also being undertaken to see if there is interest in GeoForAll to rehome the Journal there. After a short waiting period, some of us
previously involved (and new volunteers more familiar with Zenodo) will make our best effort to archive and responsibly put the Journal into dormancy. </span></div>

<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As far as the newsletter of activity function, that seems to be filled by the Annual
Report and some other more subject specific efforts. OSGeo/FOSS4G articles are published in a variety of other indexed journals so perhaps there is not a need for an OSGeo specific Journal of peer reviewed articles. </span></div>

topic guest editions but generally the OSGeo Journal is not indexed. </span></div>
