Great!

  

@Codrina & Marc: then I suggest that for the forthcoming news item we use
the same "manual" distribution route as used for the CfP in january.

Cordina, Carmen and I can during the hacking weekend 5/6 March discover what
the easiest way is, usinfg Mailchimp, our CMS possibilities etc. With that
knowledge we can send all our next mailings.

  

Regards,

  

GJ

Hi Gert-Jan,  
  
  
we already use the news item feature. The newsletter possibility sounds great,
I didn't about it. I will be in Essen and we can have a look at it.  
  
  
Kind regards,  
Carmen

module in order to be able to easily create, publish ans link (from twitter,
facebook etc.) news items.

a dedicated "news item" feature and even a "news letter" feature (that might
make the use of Mailchimp obsolete).

>>   * Did you already check out the possibilities of the news and/or news
item feature?

>>   * Do we have to adjust to website layout to show these news items?

>>   * If you're at the hacking weekend in Essen next month, Codrina, you and
I might eleborate on this.
