acm has a new publication:

queue, created by computing professionals for computing professionals.

no journalism involved. there is no need for this crowd anyhow. even if they would just write down their acm members conversation, they can deliver far more interesting content. the same would be true for ifac, another long in the field traditional club. and they are doing it: editorial board member and acm award winner jim gray had a conversation with the acm member david patterson on storage systems and more. ( thanks chris). nice piece: and an example for how different a story can sound when you use history to describe the (maybe) upcoming.

ACM Queue sets out to dissect and decompose issues with the same sort of intelligence and discipline that engineers and developers bring to their own work.
