> PragPub, the free monthly electronic magazine for software developers
> from The Pragmatic Programmers, will be publishing a special Clojure
> issue in July, and we're looking for articles.
> I'm committed to sourcing at least one article in that issue from one
> of the many active Clojure user groups around the world. I've been a
> believer in developer user groups since the 1980s when I was editing
> Dr. Dobb's Journal, inspired by Dennis Allison's image of a community
> of developers standing on each other's shoulders, and I know there are
> some great ideas out there.
> So we *will* publish at least one article from a Clojure user group,
> and when we do, we will prominently acknowledge the user group as well
> as the author.
> I'm speaking now to every member of this group. Write me an article.
> Write it in whatever format works for you, let the content dictate the
> length, and for guidance on style, you can't do better than to look at
> any of the articles we've published in the past two years:
> http://pragprog.com/magazines. A few of them have even been about
> Clojure.
> As for the technical level, assume the reader is an experience
> programmer but isn't experienced with Clojure. Your article will
> probably, in one way or another, answer the question, why Clojure? It
> might be a Clojure success story (with a technical explanation of why
> Clojure was instrumental to the success), or a particular aspect of
> Clojure that you find interesting (with code showing how it can be
> used to good effect), or advice on thinking in Clojure. You probably
> have a better idea than any of these.
> I really want to see your idea. Just send it to my email address:
> mich...@pragprog.com. But time is critical. The deadline for articles
> is only about a month away: June 22. I eagerly await your brilliance.
