similar to: Real world report for the Newsletter

Hey I want to start the next Newsletter early so it can be a little more relaxed. The next release will be the 1. April. I really need someone to *interview*, just drop me a mail and I will send you a few questions. This can be anyone from the community that has some sort of CentOS install. And then I want to introduce a new section called DeskShot where users can show off their workplaces.

Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want?

Hey So the final touches should be applied to the Newsletter soon. How are people progressing? Can we get rid of the python install thing? (Timo) Cheers Didi -- Hoffmann Geerd-Dietger http://contact.ribalba.de

Hey So the Newsletter is finally pretty much finished. Could everybody please just read through it again and make some adjustments. Further how are the translations getting on?

Next message will be the release :)

As I have no edit rights to the proper zone, I have written it into my own personal page http://wiki.centos.org/EduardoGrosclaude. Please some elder member of the familiy snip it off from there and hang it where it belongs. :) I have not involved myself in prior proofreading, so this may be a bit off. May I slip in a small

Hey Looking at the Fedora ML there is some commotion about a Press Kit [1] they are constructing. I am thinking about doing something like this for CentOS.

Ralph, When you have a free moment, please edit the wiki front page and adjust the second box with the header: "Planet CentOS / Newsletter" so that the latter part of the text reads: ". . . and the occasional CentOS Pulse newsletter." In pseudo-code: sed 's/monthly/occasional/' Alan.

Hey Due to that the last release was a last minute thing again I want to announce that no more information will be added to the Newsletter after the 25th. of April. So could everyone who wants to contribute please send me the stuff till then.

Hey I just discovered that one of the Promo pages [1] points to a spread shirt shop [2]. Maybe this link should be removed as I don't think Lance is still involved? Or can we take it over somehow?
