Hi again! As you might remember, we once had a weekly newsletter informing our users and our fellow developers, what was going on in the "Debian Universe". That was cool and we want to have these time back! So, after the first attempt resurrecting the newsletter failed, we want to try it again, this time with a changed workflow[7] making it quite easy for everyone to contribute. As always the "Debian Project News" will be available on the Debian website in HTML and as RSS feed and send out to our debian-news mailing list in text form and get them sent out on a bi-weekly basis. The work is coordinated on the debian-publicity [1] mailing list and done on a alioth project [2] using subversion [8] (for now). Thanks to the alioth admins, the subversion repository is set up, so that every Debian Developer should be able to commit directly without need to join the project or delay accepting his join request. Non DDs need an alioth account and need to request to join the project. Your contribution would be most welcome. So, how can you contribute? We have started to document it in the wiki[3], and it basically boils down to the following: * Send us a hint to the publicity list [1] if you think we missed something interesting for our next issues -- There are so many media available (blogs, other news sites, forums, mailing lists) we can't monitor everything, so we really appreciate if you tell us, whenever you see something interesting in the "wider Debian Universe". Some style guidelines [4] are also available. * Become an Editor: You may also add content directly. See our HowTo Contribute [3] on details. * Native English speaker may help us by reviewing our content (as we are mostly speaking en_DE or en_ES ;) (See [5] for details.) * Or you can translate the Newsletter in your language. (See [6] for details.) Should the documentation be incomplete or inaccurate at one point, feel free to tell us at the publicity mailing list. We are looking forward reading from you, Alexander Links: 1: http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity 2: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/publicity/ 3: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/HowToContribute 4: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/Guidelines 5: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/HowToContribute#Helpbynativespeakers 6: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/HowToContribute#TranslatingtheDebianProjectNews 7: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/Workflow 8: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews/HowToContribute#Accessingthesubversionrepository
