Hey,

I was the guy who did it initially and as you rightfully assumed I got a job in a different area and didn’t have the time anymore.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Cheers Didi

Long, long ago, there was a CentOS Newsletter: https://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/

There's some useful documentation about how to contribute to it: https://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/Contributing

And then, after running for a year, it looks like it just stopped.

I presume that whoever was heading it up moved on to other things, and nobody filled in the spot.

I'd like to revive it over the coming months, and I wondered:

• if anyone had some insight as to why it died
• if anyone here is interested in helping with this effort

A newsletter can be a great way to tell the less-engaged audience what's going on without their having to read every mailing list. It's a great way to get our message out to the larger Linux audience. And it's a great way to encourage people working on the SIGs to brag about what they've accomplished

Let me know if you want to play along. I have no particular timeline on this, and it's one of many items on my list, but if there's a few people that want to work on it, perhaps we can get an inaugural issue out after FOSDEM?

Thanks, Alan. I do indeed know that these are very time consuming tasks, and I appreciate your willingness.

I was involved in performing "proof-reading" before the release of each edition. It took quite a bit of my time . . .

I would prefer not to take on that task, once again, but would be willing to assist, as and when.
