See what articles are coming up for publication in the Tech Thursday section of the Times-Standard, and see what openings are available for RTC members to submit entries for consideration. These articles now run in TWO other local newspapers in the same week: the Redwood Times in Garberville and the Humboldt Beacon in Fortuna.
Interested members should submit a 500-800 word article to Rene Agredano or to Chris Crawford, and they will help with editing and content. Or, create a shared project and invite editors of your choice.
This is the TECH BEAT SCHEDULE for June 2008 through July 2008. RTC members are welcome to submit articles for publication weekly in the Tech Thursday section of the Times-Standard, with occasional publication in the Redwood Times and Humboldt Beacon newspapers.

please, no blatant sales pitches.

Send a photo of yourself if you haven't already done so
Send your finished article to Rene Agredano (rene@agreda.com) , or Chris Crawford (crawfordca@aol.com)
