Turns out there's even money involved... $600 if it makes it to print, and $150 if just on the website.
Things like this make me a little uncomfortable, though:
Once your article is submitted, it will be in the publication queueThis exclusivity worries me... can I plagarize myself (earlier articles I've written)... can I reuse content in future articles? Can I republish it myself?
and therefore cannot be submitted elsewhere unless 1) Linux Journal
rejects the article, or 2) the author notifies Linux Journal of
his/her intent to withdraw the article and Linux Journal agrees
to release the article. (The only circumstance under which we
will not release an article is if it has already been scheduled
for publication.)
I should ask if I can retain the rights to the article after 'n' days of exclusivity.
At least for the MySQL conference they mailed me and said:

Speaking of which, I need to get working on those slides. That's coming up as well.
