drupal newsletter

The Drupal Newsletter is basically ready. If you have anything to go in, now's you're last chance.

We're planning to mail the summer issue of the Drupal Newsletter on Tuesday. I'll be spending the day on Tuesday helping to polish what's in there and making sure things are fresh. We'll have a focus on Drupalcon Szeged.

To make this issue more manageable for readers, I plan to divide it into teasers, linking to the original articles on d.o and other sites.

So if you want anything in there for the last minute, now's the time!

Thanks,

I only found out about this group yesterday. I've been involved for a couple of months in a discussion to relaunch the Drupal Newsletter as a stand-alone site, ideally on a sub-domain such as newsletter.drupal.org. I just spoke with Dries this morning, who liked the idea, but suggested news.drupal.org. He also suggested contacting members of this group, since you folks have already been working on the bigger picture.

You might want to take a look at my post about a proof-of-concept at https://groups.drupal.org/node/9432 and also http://drupal-newsletter.org (the proof-of-concept itself).

I just wrote up a sneak peek of Views 2 for the February Drupal Newsletter, which is to be published next week. I'd love some feedback from people in the know before going forward with it. I think the work being done is incredible. The wiki is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/8258 (you have to subscribe to the Drupal Newsletter group to see it).

Hey, Drupal Ninjas!

Drupal Newsletter Team

The Drupal Newsletter Team shall be responsible for publishing the periodic Drupal Newsletter at http://drupal.org/newsletter. They shall meet using this group, at http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-newsletter. Its members shall be all volunteers who subscribe to this group. Whenever the team calls for a vote, any subscribed member may vote. Unless otherwise stated, any vote shall be conducted with a poll (linked to a motion in another post if required for length), with a duration of two weeks, succeeding where a majority of those voting for a pass/fail motion vote to pass the motion. The results of a vote shall be recorded, and the Team shall ensure that it abides by these results.

2007 was an excellent year for development and growth in Drupal. With so much going on, it's no surprise that we only got one issue of the newsletter out. I think it's imperative that we help solidify this feeling of accomplishment, to go along with the upcoming release of Drupal 6. There are a lot of people who would like to contribute, but may not be comfortable or accomplished at contributing code, so the newsletter might be a great way to find this involvement.

Greetings,

the #1 best idea from this post: http://groups.drupal.org/node/6943 is the monthly newsletter. Learn more why.

There is already a newsletter page, but we could do it way better: http://drupal.org/newsletter (Note I don't talk about mailing lists, there are very good mailing lists here: http://drupal.org/mailing-lists. I am talking about building an opt-in EMAIL LIST. This means that only Drupal can send emails to all the list members, but no other member can send an email to others. Also only Drupal sees all the members, and the members are unable to see each other.)
