From barry at list.org Wed Sep 7 16:05:07 2011 From: barry at list.org (Barry Warsaw) Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 10:05:07 -0400 Subject: [mmgsoc] Fw: next request for GNU status reports Message-ID: <20110907100507.0ab0c0db@resist.wooz.org> I don't think everyone gets this, but I want to prepare a little text for Mailman status. I can add something about the SoC program, but if you have anything else (MM3 or MM2 related) you want me to include, just send it my way. I'll put together a draft and circulate it before I send it to GNU. -Barry Begin forwarded message: Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2011 15:33:08 GMT From: karl at freefriends.org (Karl Berry) To: gnu-prog at gnu.org Subject: next request for GNU status reports Hi everyone, We are reviving the GNU Status Reports that used to be printed in the GNUs Bulletins, for posting on a GNU web page and/or in the monthly FSF newsletter, etc. The first installment was posted in January, http://www.gnu.org/bulletins/gnustatus-2011-01.html. The idea is to collect a couple of paragraphs of high-level news about any and all packages. This can include notable changes in recent releases, upcoming things you are excited about, or anything else you think worth mentioning. We'll edit it for English, etc., as needed, so don't worry about that side of things. Don't worry about formatting, either. Texinfo is preferred, but if it's easier for you to write it as plain text, HTML, (La)TeX, or whatever, that's fine, we will unify it. We'd especially like to encourage those of you maintaining GUI and non-programmer-oriented packages to participate, to help spread awareness that GNU goes beyond replacing the original Unix utilities. For those who don't already know, some packages use the savannah news facility, which gets aggregated on http://planet.gnu.org, to post status reports. This is strongly encouraged. Clearly there is some overlap, but we're thinking that these GNU-wide status reports would perhaps be higher level and written for a more general audience, where appropriate. Please email your entries (or any questions, comments, etc.) to maintainers at gnu.org. We'd like to get them in by September 19 for this round, about two weeks from now.
