<DIV>Great! Thank you for the interest. Are you comfortable with LaTex

<DIV>As we get some more editors signed up we'll have to start our own list, I
think, and then discuss further there. If you have any ideas send them
our way.</DIV>

<DIV>I've added you to the wiki page for the Newsletter, under 5.2. You

all - below is an email I'm sending out to the Discuss
list<BR>shortly. But I wanted to highlight it for you, since
this was on the <BR>back burner for VisCom for almost a year. I
am hoping that some of<BR>you might be interested in helping with
it. Right now it's the<BR>previous newsletter lead (Martin
Wegmann) and myself trying to get it<BR>started under OSGeo's banner, but
obviously we can't (nor want) to do <BR>it all ourselves. A few
others are available as reviewers, but we<BR>really need some more editors
to help collect some writing or<BR>contribute some articles.<BR><BR>I have
loved the previous GRASS newsletters and think we can do a <BR>great job
on this first volume of OSGeo News.<BR><BR>Can you have a look at the
positions that are open and tell me if<BR>anything catches your
eye? Also, I know some of you probably have an<BR>article you'd
like to contribute - if so, let me know! <BR><BR>Talk to you
later,<BR>Tyler<BR><BR>-----<BR>Hi all,<BR>As you may be aware, last year
the GRASS News production offered to<BR>transition their great production
into a brand new OSGeo Newsletter.<BR>Although branded as OSGeo, all open
source projects are welcome to be <BR>part of it.<BR><BR>For those of you
who are unfamiliar with the last volume, have a look<BR>at this:<BR><A
href="http://osgeo.org/files/news/GRASS_OSGeo_News_vol4.pdf">http://osgeo.org/files/news/GRASS_OSGeo_News_vol4.pdf
</A>(5.3MB). As<BR>you can see it is much more than just some
news clippings!<BR><BR>Well, now is the time to get a new team together to
help make a great<BR>production. You are invited to be part of
that team! Want some <BR>exercise for your writing
skills? Would you like to get some more<BR>exposure for your
project? Want to learn the ins and outs of some<BR>publication
software? Or do you just want to help spread the word<BR>about
some projects or case studies that you love? <BR><BR>There are several
positions available for any volunteer who would<BR>help to coordinate
collecting articles, writing content, reviewing<BR>content, helping with
layout or graphics, and more. Want to sign up<BR>just for one
volume or to test the waters first? That is fine too.
<BR><BR>Please see the Newsletter wiki page for a list of open positions
and<BR>categories for content that need editors:<BR><A
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter</A>
<BR><BR>If you have any reservations, comments, questions or concerns
please<BR>just let me know! As we will work as a team, please
do not be shy<BR>about your interests, even if you are going to need some
help getting<BR>started.<BR><BR>After the team is gathered and production
deadlines are finalised,<BR>then we will make a more general call for
contributors. If you<BR>already have something that you would
like to contribute, you are<BR>welcome to sign up now on the page:<BR><A
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter_Volume_1">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter_Volume_1</A><BR><BR>Hope
you will join us in putting this together!<BR><BR>Tyler
