Guidelines for mail gathering and bi-weekly processing
This is intended to be a procedure on how to create the bi-weekly newsletter, so that multiple people are able to do it, in case others are away.
The news is gathered on a weekly basis.
Sources for news are various. We know the following:
- #netlabs channel, just connect and see what comes by
- http://news.netlabs.org/
- various SVN timelines for the projects that are already in SVN (needs to be listed explicitly?)
There is a mail id on netlabs for mailing out the newsletter to various contacts.
The mail id is: news at netlabs dot org
It uses the following IMAP mailserver: mail dot netlabs dot org
For the start of a new newsletter a copy from the previous one can be made and then copy the new news into it, to make life easy :-)
The easiest way to get the text is grabbing it from the webpage in normal view mode.
Check the text a second time, and align it a bit.
Address it with BCC to the following addresses:
- martin at os2world dot com
- stevew at hartnell dot cc dot ca dot us
- submit at os2voice dot org
- webmaster at ecomstation dot com
- webredactie at os2-gg dot nl
- ktk at netlabs dot org
- j dot van dot der dot heide at hccnet dot nl
- os2info at gmx dot net
Don't forget the subject line with the next number and of it goes.
After the newsletter is sent the 'Netlabs bi-weekly newsletter' webpage has to be updated. (http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Netlabs_bi_weekly_newsletter). Just copy the news on top of the others and add a heading.
Then the draft version of the bi-weekly page can be emptied and the heading for the next week can be added.
That is basicly the process of the bi-weekly newsletter.
