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.
