	Hi Kevin,
	
	Great! Thank you for the interest.  Are you comfortable with
LaTex layout already?

	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.

	I've added you to the wiki page for the Newsletter, under 5.2.
You should register for an account if you don't have one already.

	Tyler

	p.s. Are you in Toronto region?

		Hi Tyler:
		 
		I can help provide assistance in the layout / designer
department.  Either software will be okay with me.  Let me know how I
can be involved.

			Hi all - below is an email I'm sending out to
the Discuss list

since this was on the

hoping that some of
			you might be interested in helping with it.
Right now it's the
			previous newsletter lead (Martin Wegmann) and
myself trying to get it
			started under OSGeo's banner, but obviously we
can't (nor want) to do 
			it all ourselves.  A few others are available as
reviewers, but we
			really need some more editors to help collect
some writing or
			contribute some articles.
			
			I have loved the previous GRASS newsletters and
think we can do a 
			great job on this first volume of OSGeo News.
			
			Can you have a look at the positions that are
open and tell me if
			anything catches your eye?  Also, I know some of
you probably have an
			article you'd like to contribute - if so, let me
know! 
			
			Talk to you later,
			Tyler

			Hi all,
			As you may be aware, last year the GRASS News
production offered to
			transition their great production into a brand
new OSGeo Newsletter.
			Although branded as OSGeo, all open source
projects are welcome to be 
			part of it.
			
			For those of you who are unfamiliar with the
last volume, have a look
			at this:
	
http://osgeo.org/files/news/GRASS_OSGeo_News_vol4.pdf (5.3MB).  As
			you can see it is much more than just some news
clippings!
			
			Well, now is the time to get a new team together
to help make a great
			production.  You are invited to be part of that
team!  Want some 
			exercise for your writing skills?  Would you
like to get some more
			exposure for your project?  Want to learn the
ins and outs of some
			publication software?  Or do you just want to
help spread the word
			about some projects or case studies that you
love? 
			
			There are several positions available for any
volunteer who would
			help to coordinate collecting articles, writing
content, reviewing
			content, helping with layout or graphics, and
more.  Want to sign up
			just for one volume or to test the waters first?
That is fine too. 
			
			Please see the Newsletter wiki page for a list
of open positions and
			categories for content that need editors:
			http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter 
			
			If you have any reservations, comments,
questions or concerns please
			just let me know!  As we will work as a team,
please do not be shy
			about your interests, even if you are going to
need some help getting
			started.
			
			After the team is gathered and production
deadlines are finalised,
			then we will make a more general call for
contributors.  If you
			already have something that you would like to
contribute, you are
			welcome to sign up now on the page:
	
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Newsletter_Volume_1
			
			Hope you will join us in putting this together!
