XSF Communications Team - 2018-06-29

I'm considering not sending out the newsletter this month, due to lack of content

There were some submissions on the wiki, but quite a few are of poor quality

I don't think we should link to random Tweets for example

And there aren't many interesting articles either

I guess I'll still send it out, it'll just have fewer links and articles than usual

Yeah... Well, I was quite impressed that we had all that content on the past newsletters

SouL: Would you perhaps be available to proofread? https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/newsletter/content/posts/newsletter/2018-06.md

jcbrand, that `however` at the end, does it sound good to you? `More work needs to be done, so don't expect to see this in the App Store before August however.`

I updated some links

I think it's ready although I'm not sure about that `however`

SouL: I purposely let it link to the introduction, which IMO is more readable and informative than the homepage

We can remove the "however"

jcbrand, I changed it because the link was not working

the /introduction one

hmmm

Forgot to add it to the commit, my bad

I thought I fixed taht

SouL: Ok, I fixed the link now, thanks for checking

And I removed the dangling "however"

Super cool, thank you very much jcbrand!

sure, thanks for helping

jcbrand, I don't even know what the process is for submitting stuff to the newsletter

I feel like there should be a ping to people - "What have you done this week that is worth going in the newsletter?"

Could be an XMPP bot :)

Where is this discoverable?

Submissions for the newsletter: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/News_and_Articles_for_the_next_XMPP_Newsletter

MattJ: nowhere I guess 🙂

I guess it could be added to the newsletter itself

that would be a good first place

Yes, agreed, that would be a good start

There is much activity in prosody-modules that deserves to see more exposure

I could add some things about new modules that people have made, or new features in existing modules

I have to say however, IMO people should write blog posts about what they're doing. Simply pointing to a tweet, github page or something like that isn't sufficient

Not that you're doing this, but that's happened a few times with submissions

So concerning Prosody modules, yes absolutely... where it falls flat is that people don't do writeups about their work

A "Prosody modules roundup" or "This week/month in Prosody" would be great 🙂

Same for any other project of course

I guess jabberfr could write a blog post for the recent mod_prometheus

Link Mauve, ^

I started that.

Started.

Nice guys!

I like what I read!

:DD

I would also like to start a blog for cluxia (cluxia.eu), soon-ish. To describe the work that we're busy not doing :)
