Yep, a meeting sounds good. I'm fully booked for the first two BoF days (30th & 31st of July), but could do the 1st if anyone is free then. Otherwise, we can try and organise something informally during the conference itself. There should be time. It might also be good to continue the discussion here - that'll give people who won't be at GUADEC (/ME waves to Sri and Christy) a chance to comment, and will maybe help to spur discussion when we do meet. So let me sketch a rough plan for how news could work... A key goal here needs to be keeping any system we have a simple and lightweight as possible, while still ensuring a regular stream of engaging and high-quality posts. Some ideas: * We aim to have about three posts a week, including a mix of short and long posts on different subjects * We have a set of guidelines on when to post (ie. mid-week, preferably during daylight for North America and Europe) * We have a small editorial team consisting of three or four people * The schedule for posts is planned in advance by the editorial team at a monthly IRC meeting * Each post has an assigned author and editor. It is the editor's job to ensure that the post is delivered on time and that it is checked for quality before posting. * If a post does not meet its deadline, we publish something else instead (hopefully from a queue of backup material) and keep it in a holding pattern until a space in the schedule becomes available * The editors maintain a document containing ideas for content, which anyone can add to. This gets reviewed at each monthly editorial meeting The existing gnome.org site provides almost all the infrastructure we need for this to happen. We can use it to store all our queued material (perhaps with a separate category for backup posts). We can easily use it to give people author and editor roles. Our list of post ideas can be a simple wiki page on live.gnome.org. The only infrastructure question is where to keep the publishing schedule. My personal view is that something semi-private to the editorial team is best for this; a Google Doc would work well, although maybe there's a free option that could work? Thoughts? Opinions?
