A new edition of the GNOME Journal is out now. Articles include a newcomer’s look at using the GTK+ toolkit; an overview of the Tango Project interview two of it’s most high profile contributors; and a look a company based on open source software, Fluendo.

There is also a letter from the editor, Jim Hodapp, inviting all of us who use GNOME to contribute articles.

I think I’ll start planning a contribution myself. With this month’s release of GNOME 2.18, the timing couldn’t be better.
