| === 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:
| |
| * [irc://irc.netlabs.org/#netlabs #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 :-) (you can also use the [http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Netlabs_News_Template template] with empty descriptions).
| |
| | |
| 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 jafar dot hartnell dot edu
| |
| * submit at os2voice dot org
| |
| * webmaster at ecomstation dot com
| |
| * webredactie at os2-gg dot nl
| |
| * ktk at netlabs dot org
| |
| * MacOSJan at xs4all dot nl | |
| * os2info at gmx dot net
| |
| * Michael at oehlhof dot de | |
| | |
| 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_newsletter2). 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.
| |
| | |
| Besides the above, a '''weekly''' version is published on the new ''BLOG'' site (http://blog.netlabs.org/).
| |
| All what has to be done is create a new entry, type in 'News:' with the period behind it.
| |
| Grab the content from this newsletter page in presentation mode and past it in the body of the new entry.
| |
| Check the 'netlabs.org news' option, on the right, and press Publish.
| |
