Dear CHOSUG members, up to now, we have issued 5 newsletters, just to test the idea of a newsletter inside the user group.
Why a newsletter ? Since january, I've seen many blogs and forums , in switzerland, about OpenSolaris. Many interesting things are discussed but not necessarly shared, which could benefit to other. Linux Users could benefit from such content, by discovering the CHOSUG community, and why not attending to some CHOSUG sessions Which format ? The idea of the Newsletter is Keep It Smart and Simple: A monthly, doublesided, quad-topics PDF file, with short, but meaningfull content, written by CHOSUG members. We could continue to push it to the mailing list, and drop a copy (for archives) on the wiki. Language ? Having to translate it to french and German is not realistic (lack of volunteers in the CHOSUG), so, it should continue in english. Content ? Well, you all have some content: - your blogs on OpenSolaris - your professionnal experiments with Solaris/OpenSolaris - your proven best practice - your latest OpenSolaris build experiment on your Desktop/laptop - your latest Beer2Beer session - your planned technical presentation Region: of course, content should come for all the regions of Switzerland, but in english to help a Ticino user understand what a Zug user is saying Format: well, I draw a template (use Draw in StarOffice/OpenOffice) with standard Arial fonts. The idea is to have a newsletter that can be read in 5 minutes, with links if the reader want to know more. I attached a PDF of this template, and I'm waiting for you feedback (especially from actual/futur CHSOUG leaders) to change the template. This is your next newsletter, so the format (size, colors, logos, positions, ...) must be your decision :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
