[Viscom-dev] RE: [VisCom] GeoSpatial Solutions

[Michael P. Gerlek]

Venka-

I think it is unlikely that the "second" magazine would accept such an idea, even if the "first" (GeoConnexions in this case) was enlightened enough to agree to it...

In any case, a "column" is really very short.  I'm very keen on the idea of having us do a monthly column on various topics, and separately doing real "articles" (of arbitrary length) for any publication willing to take it.  One approach would be to have someone write a column, and then expand on the content for a "real" article.

But, the idea of having the columns (or articles) translated for our own website is a good one.

How about considering a OSGeo syndicated column
that can be published in several magazines
simultaneously. Maybe the folks at GIS at development
could also be interested. We could also make
translations with the help of local chapters
(if the article is 2 pages or so).
