CentOS Newsletter editing
Work
Ideas / TODO
A few things need to be done when we release the Newsletter:
Beef up future issues with Newsletter/Ideas
- Improve the list of news sites and social networks...
NewsletterGroup meetings
We would like to have one meeting every two weeks to prepare the next newsletter. Since most of the sections are well-defined regarding content, the meetings focus on brainstorming about interesting topics and sharing the workload for articles and interviews.
A schedule for the meetings is at Newsletter/Meetings.
Template
We maintain a Newsletter/NewsletterTemplate with useful links for the different sections. If you have interesting sources for CentOS related content, add them to this template.
Improvements to newer newsletter issues should flow back into the template as it is the basis of the upcoming newsletter.
Upcoming issues
Members of the NewsletterGroup can help work on the upcoming content directly:
