At the recent 12.1 Marketing hackfest, we devised an editorial schedule and folks have begun writing articles for promoting 12.1. However, some of these articles haven't been submitted yet. We suggest that in order to minimize confusion and reduce excessive pinging, you create an ietherpad with your article and link to it in the editorial schedule at http://ietherpad.com/sked or send your article directly to n...@opensuse.org.
Using a pad such as ietherpad or piratepad has proven to be such a valuable tool for crowdsourcing an article and getting it really spiffed up. Submitting your article links will enable us to ensure the articles are published in a timely manner and also allows the news team to be able to review and polish (not change!) the article itself ahead of time so that it becomes publishable. And while I'm at it, I'll use this opportunity to invite anyone who thinks they have an article in mind to go ahead and start writing it. There's still plenty of topics in our schedule that don't have an assigned writer yet. And as I tell people often, don't worry about your writing skills. Just write! Braindump it! Our news team is dedicated to being there to help polish and make it presentable for you. And wherever possible, we'll make sure that a subject matter expert also reviews the article for accuracy. Our stories do get picked up by other news media outlets and this is a chance to make you shine with a byline!
