Hi,
I am pleased to announce the first edition of the bi-weekly CentOS newsletter which we dubbed "CentOS Pulse".
This first issue centers around improving communication within the CentOS community and how that relates to the CentOS Promo SIG. We also look at the recent announcements regarding the CentOS LiveCD and the CentOS Directory Server. And dive into interesting community threads and the latest CentOS security updates.
You can read the newsletter at:
http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/0901
If you want to get an update everytime we release a new newsletter issue, you can subscribe to the newly created and low-traffic centos-newsletter mailing list at:
http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-newsletter
The project team considers the CentOS Newsletter an important tool to communicate directly with the community. It is run by the community to collect interesting bits from the wiki, mailinglist, forums, SIGs and other sources, and put them into the spotlight.
More information about the newsletter and how you can contribute is available from:
http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter
Happy reading !

Lanny,
The idea was not necessarily mine though. It has been requested a few times and just needed to be done. Although I hope that after some time we have a group of people contributing and my role will become small or taken by others.
For the announcements, I don't know if this is the right location to send them to. We have set up a centos-newsletter mailing list for this purpose so people can opt in on these announcements, regardless if they follow this mailing list or not.

Great content !
I see a link has been added on the wiki page to the Newsletter, but not on the first page, might be useful for novice users to read the Pulse.
One extra suggestion, to make a paper/pdf version (eg magazine/booklet style) once a year, with an overview of what CentOS has accomplished that year and wants to accomplish in the following year(s)
