Well, here is my monthly posting requesting articles for the Australian.
Please consider responding.

The Australian newspaper runs an AUUG column in its Tuesday computer section.
The aim of these articles is to inform the public and raise the profile of
open systems within this country.

AUUG would like to ensure that all members of the open system community have
access to this voice, and we are actively seeking a diverse spectrum of
people and opinions. (Having one's views published in a respected national
paper also carries kudos and recognition for authors.)

If you are interested in contributing, please provide me with:

    * your name and contact details
    * a copy of your article

Articles should be between 600 and 800 words in length, and can address any
issue that may be of interest within the open systems community. If you can't
decide on an appropriate topic, please provide me with some professional
details and I'll try and give you some ideas tailored to your expertise.

The preferred form of submission is email, but if you don't have email,
please provide a hardcopy. Please format your article as a plain text
file, with lines no longer than 79 characters, and with a blank line
separating paragraphs. There's not much point doing any fancy typesetting.

All submissions are accepted on the understanding that they may or may not
be used and that the material may be edited. AUUG will only submit your work
to the Australian newspaper, although unless you advise us otherwise we will
reserve the right to add your articles to a public FTP archive at some time
in the future, and reprint them in AUUG's journal, AUUGN. The copyright on
the material remains yours, your act of submitting material only gives us
licence for the abovementioned purposes.

Most articles are submitted to the Australian unedited and the decision of
what to print is left up to them. Usually a period of 2 to 4 weeks will
then pass before you'll see your article in print, as I usually maintain a
pipeline of material to buffer against the inevitable fluctuations in supply.

Please email or phone me if you have any further queries.
