We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right?
I greatly enjoyed this month's newsletter, especially the hacker diary. :) It's nice to see the events and "in the news" items too.
While I understand the temptation to do more technical items, I'm not sure if that's how the newsletter was conceived. I can see the newsletter being more of a meta item, not necessarily for help using CentOS, but for help on knowing what's going on. So I personally am happy with how it's going so far, but I can sympathize with those who want a more technical letter.
IOW, I like that the newsletter is a high-level view, where the centos@centos mailing list I see as a nuts-n-bolts view.
I'd like to contribute, but I need to figure out what I can do first.
Did your friend ever get his personal web site up? ;-)
