[Board] [Marketing] Definition of the news Queue with new webside

[Jody Garnett]

The community news pulls from OSGeo planet, republishes other blogs. When
setting up the website, and recent roles, we were not aware of the above
news publishing workflow. I thought news publishing was part of the osgeo
website committee and non functional. We may be able to come up with a
technical solution for sending out a tweet when news posts are made.

We can of course set up a role to limit publishing to the set of people you
describe, or perhaps have wordpress email you when a news post is published.
