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

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