11. September - 17. September

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.
