news 28 Posted November 29, 2010 To Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Readers: Thank you so much for your continued support of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter (UWN) throughout the years! Without you the readers there would be no need to publish UWN and we are thankful for each of you who read the newsletter through subscribing to the email, on the wiki, the pdf, the forums, or the various syndications. You are appreciated. I needed to send this sooner, and I apologize for not being able to do so before now. The newsletter is being re-organized based on 1) the results from the "Improving UWN" Survey that was sent out in late October; 2) re-organizing based on the volunteers and their time schedules to allow for more easier contributions 3) training more publishing editors. I sincerely apologize for the interruption in the publication of UWN and please know that it will be back in publication beginning next week. The Newsletter will continue to be *published* (sent out) on Mondays with all the work on the issue completed during the week(s) that the issue will be covering. While we will *not* go back over the last month and pull all the news and summarize it in the issue to be published on Dec 6th, we will included links in the "UWN Sneak Peek" section to articles from weeks prior. We are always looking for help on UWN and to keep the publication on schedule will need more volunteers. If you have an hour a week and can help find links, or can help summarize articles please consider giving an hour or more of your time a week to help add content to UWN. Please know that by adding you agree that your content maybe edited or may not be included in UWN. Part of the feedback that was given was that UWN was getting to heavy and long so we will provide more links to articles and less summaries. Below are links to posts about the state of UWN and the Fridge, survey results, when we changed to publishing on Mondays, and a call for volunteers for the news team. Please Consider joining the News Team Meeting on December 2nd, 2010 at 2300 UTC in #ubuntu-news IRC channel on freenode.net if you would like to know more about UWN going forward or would like to help. Though I am stepping down as Editor in Chief and we will be going to a rolling publish editor schedule I will still be helping train and consult with the the news team on UWN and the Fridge.
