Peoples,
After the conversation concering the matter of our "The Apache Newsletter", I have come to tentative conclusion: 1. I will not publish the second newsletter (Issue #2) in the middle of September 2003. I will release in the middle of October as "The Apache Newsletter Issue #2" 2. In "The Apache Newsletter Issue #2", I will enumerate all the projects in the ASF umbrella in the "table of contents", however, will never from "Issue #3". 3. Apache Newsletter is one of the "News from the ASF" material, which people who do not have much time to read all the websites in the Apache.org have been eager to get in the past, so it fit to the original usage of [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list and I will publish this newsletter to this mailing list. -- 1) Some publishers in Japan picked up the news of "Apache Software Foundation have decided to release *cross-project* newsletter monthly" around 18th August (by courtesy of the publishers). So, "From Monthly to Quarterly" abruptly will not a good sign as the ASF's *will*. I want to make it *bi-monthly* for a while. 2) There are still many people which do not know the existence of this newsletter. In fact, I got news from mod_perl forks after the release of the newsletter. #1 and #2 will be just "guinea pig". We can modify the newsletter in various ways, using "Apatchy" spirits, and pass it off more professional one, I am sure. 3) After the conversation occured here in [EMAIL PROTECTED], I realized that [EMAIL PROTECTED] list did not give full play to its potential abilities. "The Apache Newsletter" can provide and prove one of the "good" possibilities. -- If anything, sorry for the rant here. I had to think about the spam issue (I did not know about the Law of anti-spam in western countries..) more seriously. "The Apache Newsletter" is *not* spam mail. I want to hear from you all about wonderful news of the various projects in apache.org. Please make it more professional and useful one!! Thanks in advance. Sincerely, -- Tetsuya ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) P.S. I am thankful to infrastructure team about that "So-Big" viral mails. I did not see viral mails in most of the Mailing lists in *.apache.org. Especially, I really appreciate the hard-works of Brian. Thank you very much!! ----------------------------------------------------- Tetsuya Kitahata -- Terra-International, Inc.
