The OSGeo Newsletter development team invites you to contribute news,
articles, event summaries, programming tutorials and more for the
upcoming OSGeo News - Volume 1. There are several sections planned
for the newsletter. General descriptions of each category can be
found on the Newsletter wiki page [1]. Specific committed articles
are listed on the Newsletter Volume 1 wiki page [2].
There has been already been a lot of interest to contribute articles
and some sections are already quite full. You are welcome to propose
an article for any section, but we are specifically looking for more
articles in the following categories:
* News - any particularly newsworthy items you would like to pass along
* Event Reports - have a conference summary that you would like to
share?
* Topical Studies - introduce a theoretical topic that is of general
interest
* Programming Tutorials - serving as an introduction to coding an
application or task
* Interview - conduct an interview with someone in the community
* Developer Announcements - brief summaries of what your project team
has been doing recently and future outlook for the project
To volunteer for an article add your name and article title to the
Volume 1 wiki page in the appropriate category, along with contact
information. Or join the Newsletter mailing list [3] and tell us
about your idea. An editor will follow-up with you to arrange
delivery and timing. Articles need to be delivered by March 23st.
Length can vary depending on type of article and should be discussed
with the editor for your category. If you want to contribute but a
particular category is full (or you need more time), you are more
than welcome to add yourself to the list of articles for the
subsequent volume, Volume 2 [4].
We look forward to working with you on producing a great newsletter
that is of interest to everyone in our communities and beyond.
Sincerely,
Tyler
