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.
