Open Source Journal
Contribute
Now it is your turn. We need your articles and your experience in any open source language, framework, operating system -- anything goes. When we receive your article, we will forward it to the reviewers, who will work with you to ensure that your article is truly outstanding. Once the review process is completed, the reviewers will give their feedback to the editors, who will decide whether your article can be published online. If this is the case, the editors may contact you for final clarifications, your biography, a paragraph about your company and your picture. If your article makes it to the printed edition, we will contact you again to make sure that the article is still up to date and ask for any late corrections.
Editorial guidelines
The articles will run for about 2 - 3 printed pages. We accept any modern word editing format (e.g. Open Document, OpenXML, RTF, HTML, Wiki markup). We simply ask that you use as simple formatting as possible.
Allowed styles & formatting
Please use only the following styles & formatting:
- headings 1, 2, 3
- normal text
- monospaced text
- captions
- references & citations
Figures
If you include figures (i.e. images, diagrams), please submit them in lossless format at at least 150 dpi.
References
All citations and references must be clearly marked, and must use the ISO 690-2 notation.

Source code
If your article contains any example source code, make sure that the example is usable on any platform, and, where possible, without depending on a specific IDE. Include all common-sense steps needed to setup the readers' systems to successfully build the sample applications.
