ok, two things. 1) I went ahead and went with the majority opinion and sent out the inaugural newsletter. You'll hopefully see it on committers@, with reply-to set to here.
2) The May newsletter is in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/site/trunk/content/newsletter if people want to help drafting next month's newsletter. It will be sent from ApacheCon, so will have a section on the first few days of the event. --Rich On 03/31/2017 09:07 AM, Rich Bowen wrote: > As you probably know, I have been pondering a (bi?)monthly community > newsletter for some time.
