Hey
A friend asked me how he could stay up to date with CentOS and if there was a newsletter or something. After some research I found that there was a discussion on the promo list about half a year ago but nothing happened.
If you look at :
http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Promo/TODO
you can see, that is has to be done :)
Would something like this, be appreciated by the community? What would people want to see in a newsletter? Are people interested in doing this?
Personally I was thinking of :
- General information (Like "whats up with 5.3")
- What is happening on the mailing lists / Forum
- Developer interview (Developers would you do that?)
- Tips/Tricks
- Event reports and up coming events
- Word of the Month. Something to lighten up the newsletter.
- Bug fixes
- Ideas welcome
I would be quite happy to contribute to this and it would give people who want to give something back a nice chance to get public exposure.
Is monthly a good compromise between workload and actuality?
FreeBSD does it quarterly: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/
But, I have to ask: most of the "development" of CentOS is actually done upstream, in RHEL, right?
