Hi Dan,
It is an interesting idea. Although, I think some thought would need
to be put into the scope of the articles that would be a fit for this
outlet. Would the focus be on scientific analysis that happened to be
carried out using FOSS4G products, or would it be about software
tools specifically developed to carryout scientific analyses? What
would be the discipline scope of the articles? Could your paper on a
study of the impact of irrigation run-off in the Snake River water
shed be next to mine on my new model for retail site location that
addresses demand from local residential and workforce population,
along with demand from mobile customers (allowing us to have a
hydrology and a marketing paper side-by-side)?
In any event, I'm very interested in the idea, and would be willing
to be part of a committee on the topic, which seems like the logical
next step if there is any interest.
Dan

a month ago with respect to the OSGeo Journal.
I suggested that we explore the option of having 2-4 peer reviewed
science type journal articles in future editions in addition to the
project updates and other types of articles, and I volunteered to help
coordinate the peer-review process. I'd be interested to know what
others think of this. Would anyone else find it useful to have a
FOSS4G oriented peer-reviewed journal article outlet? Anyone else to
volunteer for a peer review process? (Tyler are you still interested
in this idea?) - Dan

I think I can work together with Helton in the Portuguese
translation.
