These would keep interest alive following theannouncement by the Maltese government in recent weeks. i-Tech can sererve regular space for 500-600 word articles. There is no remuneration but the articles will credited to you/MLUG and will put OSS permanently in theframe of mind of our readers, in itself excellent promotion.
