Hey Alan,

I feel sorry about the newsletter. Sad to say I am not even aware of it.

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.
