How to Submit an Article for the FOSS Newsletter

Have you ever thought about submitting an article to the FOSS Newsletter? The newsletter is published twice a year, with deadlines in June and December. Have you conducted some research or developed a project that focuses or includes FOSS? Are your students doing something exceptional with FOSS that you would like other readers to hear about? Have you extended the FOSS investigations to something of interest in your community? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Here’s what you need to know to submit an article.

• Let the editor know that you are planning on submitting an article. The contact information is listed on the back page of this newsletter.
• Submit the article as a text file without formatting. It helps if the text file can be opened in Microsoft Word.
• Submit all images (graphics, illustrations, photos) as separate high-resolution files. Digital images should be at least 300 dpi.
• Provide captions for any images.
• Make sure you have completed consent forms for any individuals (both students and adults) that appear in the images. You can download the FOSS consent form at http://lhsfoss.org/newsletters/contribute.html.

If you have any questions about article submission, please contact Sue Jagoda at skjagoda@berkeley.edu. The deadline for submissions to the next issue is June 10, 2011. We’re waiting to hear from you.
