Hi all;<br>
<br>
What is the status of the CentOS Pulse Newsletter? I've heard a rumor<br>
or two that it has gone dormant. Is there any way that I can help out?<br>
<br>
I enjoy writing as a hobby and have a firm grasp on the English<br>
language--it is my native tongue. I've been using CentOS for several<br>
years and love discovering new things to do with it.<br>
<br>
If you've got a place for me, I'd be happy to contribute! I hang out<br>
in #centos-social on Freenode as "Supertanker" if you'd like to talk<br>
to me in real-time.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Cody Jackson<br>

Hi Cody,<br>
<br>
I'm sorry to say that the newsletter, CentOS Pulse, died a death due<br>
to an overwhelming lack of support by the CentOS user-base /<br>
community.<br>
<br>
The problem was that although it had an "editor-in-chief", section<br>
editors and proof-readers, there was essentially zero input from the<br>
community and, without the raw data input, there was nothing to write<br>
about.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Alan.<br>
<br>
