Calling all Writers at DrupalCon!

aaron's picture

Recap of the first topic of my last message, for emphasis:

The obvious topic for the March newsletter is the DrupalCon, of course. There are over 800 people here, though and we need to recruit people to write up their favorite session/s. If you are at the conference, please write up at least one session, and/or find three other people who can write up a session. We only need a paragraph or two, but feel free to write up a whole big article if you're inspired.

There have been lots of these session writeups posted into http://drupal.org/planet - maybe we can just grab content from there, get permission, summarize it and link back to it?

Where to post

Aaron,

With the prototype site in process, I thought it would be good to clarify where these write-ups ought to be submitted. I'm guessing the plan is to continue to use the wiki page for March at http://groups.drupal.org/node/8720 - at least for the initial collection of the content. But perhaps I'm mistaken.

Yes, let's use that wiki for this issue. We can work out a better organization for the next few issues until the standalone http://news.drupal.org is ready.

I slotted in my first write-up (about the usability session) in the area for the first feature story. I'm thinking a collection of write-ups there + maybe a paragraph intro = a feature story.

I plan to do another writeup soon as well.

And to edit my first one down, as it's a little overlong.
