# Foward
My name is Jonah Ascoli, and I'm the owner of Compute.
Compute is a computer science journal for
anyone in Lake Braddock to enjoy.
In this article, I'll talk about the mission of this journal,
how we'll be operating in the future,
and how _you_ can participate.
## The Mission
Compute's goal is to serve as an informative journal,

We're more a blog or a publication than a news source

We're more a blog or a publication than a news source
catered to Lake Braddock students, while allowing journalists to
express creativity in their articles. By keeping the journal broad,
encompassing the entirety of computer science,
there are very few restrictions in what journalists can write about,
and by extension, what anyone can read about.
## Operating Schedule
We plan on making editions every month, each with at least
one article per journalist.
This edition will then be destributed across
Lake Braddock's computer science program,

Students can also be notified of new articles/editions via the RSS feed

Students can also be notified of new articles/editions via the RSS feed
through a Discord server, (more on that later)
a mailing list,
and schoology updates,
giving any CS student a
chance to read any/all of the articles written.
The hope (and long term goal) of this project is to

The nature of a student-run journal is that, well,
it needs students to run it.
Without journalists, webmaster(s), and organizers, this journal
would inevitably die off. Furthermore, there's no upper limit on how many
contributers there can be for a journal - of course quality is more important
than quantity, but of course:

We should probably make a Discord channel with setup instructions for tooling and everything with submission

To become a journalist, all you have to do is join the
Compute [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/WSaHCnUanJ)!
From there, there will be detailed instruction,
and anything you don't understand, I can help you with!
It would be awesome to get as many people as possible for this journal,
so it would be hugely appreciated if you want to join.
There's also a Compute club! It only meets once a month for an hour,
and journalists aren't required to come to the meetings, but if you want,
you can also come to the club to get started (for more information on the club,
join the Discord server.)
Anyways, that's what Compute's all about. Since you read the whole article,
here's a picture of a cute cat:
