SAJChurchey - June Update
Update at 2008-06-22 12:57:01
Hello everyone,

The end of June is quickly approaching, and we have only have 6 new articles on the front page, and 3 of them were announcements. Please finish up the articles that you are working on, and let's get these submitted and published by June 30th.

Nightscript and thinkt4nk have been doing a great job with the Article cleanup project, but progress on this project is slow as there are only two members working on it. After you have submitted your article(s) for this month, if you have the time, please contact Nightscript to ask how you can help edit. Our goal is to have all of the articles cleaned up by July 4th so that we never have to worry about them again.

I have been away studying for the first test for my Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification. I will be taking the test tomorrow after which I will try to be back here in full force. In the meantime, please fill myself and thinkt4nk in on your progress.

Thanks everyone, and keep up the good work. I will be touching base with everyone after the first of the month to assign articles and tasks and check up on your current ones.

SAJ

SAJChurchey - A Special Thanks

I would like to announce that I have appointed thinkt4nk as an X/O for the Editorial brigade. Thinkt4nk has been an Editorial member for over a month and has been an asset since his arrival. He has published two good tutorials on Perl with another on the way, and he has helped to approve and clean up many articles for our projects. So please welcome him to Editorial leadership, and feel free to bring issues to his attention in my absence.

I would also like to thank Rae and NeorageX for their work as my interim X/Os. I have a great amount of respect for these folks, and I hope that will continue to help us and be a source of advice for myself and my new X/O. Rae has been busy adding to our collection of Ruby tutorials, and NeorageX will now be focusing on Editorial work because of time contraints. I'm hoping that his tutorials on Apophysis fractal generator will add some much needed variety to the OSIX front page.

I am also taking this opportunity to thank NightScript for his leadership over the Article Cleanup project. He is a good and productive editor, and I am glad that we have him. We have lots of writers, and it's good to have somebody willing to dedicate the time to give the proper attention that is needed on this front. Most people find editing boring :) So please join the Article Cleanup project if you have the time and help NightScript get this project completed. The deadline for the cleanup is July 4th.

SAJChurchey - CyberArmy Library Submissions
Update at 2008-05-28 14:30:56
For those of you that are submitting articles to both the CA Library and OSIX.net please make sure that you are meeting sets of guidelines:It shouldn't be too difficult if you stick to the more stringent CA Library guidelines.

SAJChurchey - We Need Blood
Update at 2008-05-08 01:20:37
OSIX.net is in desperate need of new content in terms of articles and tests, and we need your help to bring vitality to the front page once again.

We are primarily in need of writers, but an editor or two will be necessary to ensure timely publication of fresh articles. If you have the expertise and a willingness to share what you know, we would greatly appreciate your aid.

Maybe you're not a programming guru, but you've been wanting to dive in. We'd love for you to share your experience or what you learn along the way either using an OSIX blog or in the more formal setting of an article.

If you have a good eye and some editing experience we'd love for you to join in and put the fine polish on all the new articles we're going to be getting in ;)

Please . . . don't make me beg :)
