For those students that are interested, Dr. Dobbs Journal will be running an issue with summaries of the various SOC projects (see attached message.)

Hi again,

Just to clear up a couple of points that people have been asking about:

1) We'd like one article per mentor/student pair, rather than one article per sponsoring organization. (Cramming all the Apache articles into 400 words would be...challenging... ;-)

2) The average DDJ reader is pretty sophisticated --- 5-10 years in industry, speaks C well, knows one or two other languages, has some familiarity with threading and sockets, etc. --- so articles can be fairly dense (as in, you do *not* need to start with, "The Internet has revolutionized the way people access information." ;-)

3) Screen shots: send us full resolution, please, and we'll cut it down if we need to.

4) Format: the production staff are comfortable with plain old text (you can use the usual email/wiki conventions for *emphasis*), RTF (*not* .doc, for fear of infection), or minimalist HTML (nothing too funky). You'll get PDF or similar back to check before it runs.

5) By all means, have colleagues look it over, but please don't blog it, or post it on the web, before we've run it.

6) And by all means, if you want to write up your projects for other venues, please go ahead --- if you can find a home for a longer article on your work, then as far as we're concerned, the more publicity SOC gets, the better. All we ask is that you don't plagiarize yourself too much, in either direction.

Thanks, Greg
