Call for Articles -- GADGETS!!!

July 7th, 2008 by Shawn Powers

Your rating: None

As Linux Journal's Gadget Guy, it seemed appropriate for me to make this call for articles. Our December issue of Linux Journal is dedicated to Gadgets. No, it's not the "Shawn Powers" issue (How scary is that notion?), but rather it's an issue full of gadget related material. That's where you come in. Do you have an article idea that you'd love to share with the Linux Journal readership? If so, send us the article idea to ljeditor@linuxjournal.com (More details on idea submissions are available here.)

Here's a few ideas to get your brain working. Don't limit yourself to my list, however. If it relates to gadgets, we'd love to hear your idea.

  • Something about gadgets that use Linux as their OS/Firmware
  • Using Windows-Only gadgets in a Linux environment. (Breaking the rules!)
  • Installing Linux on a gadget it was never meant to be on.
  • Highlighting gadgets that are fully open source, both software and hardware
  • Maybe there is a gadget that every Linux user should own?

So now it's up to you. If you have an idea, and would like to write for us, drop us an article query. We look forward to hearing from you!

News Flash: Linux Kernel 3.0 to include an on-the-go Expresso machine interface! Ok, maybe not, but Linux is definitely going mobile, from phones to e-readers. Find out more inside about Android, the Kindle 2, the Western Digital MyBook II, The Bug, and Indamixx (a portable recording studio). And if you've gone mobile and you been wanting more Emacs in your life then check out Conkeror.


To compliment the mobile we've got the stationary: parsing command line options with getopt, checking your Ruby code with metric_fu, and building a secure Squid proxy. How is this stationary you ask? What can we say? It's not. We just wanted to see if anybody actually read this part of the page :) .


All this and more, and all you have to do is get your hot sweaty hands on the latest copy of Linux Journal.
