Hi guys,

The just-published weekly news issue, issue 14, will probably the last
one that I can realistically do for some time, as my final year exams
are getting close.

It would be really great if someone -- or better, a few people --
could take on the task of keeping it going during that time. If a few
people just maintain one or two sections then we'd basically be there.

Dl9pf and Beineri (on IRC) have already agreed to help as well. Here
is how I suggest running it, and any extra information that might be
of help:

* Prepare on Tuesday, ask for proof-reading and coordinate on
#opensuse-project and publish early Wed
* Template of Weekly News at
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_Weekly_News/Template -- will update
later today

* Status Updates:
** YaST from yast-devel mailing list
** Distribution from -factory
** Packaging from -factory
** Wiki/Communication from -project list

* Planet SUSE:
** Select the most relevant/interesting blog posts

* Announcements
** Anything other than meetings listed on opensuse-announce or news.opensuse.org

* Statistics
** Beineri handles this section

* Security Updates
** Posts from opensuse-security-announce mailing list

* In the Press:
** Collect Links during the whole week
** Google Alerts for 'opensuse' is very helpful here
** search digg,[0] tuxmachines, news.google.com, blogsearch.google.com
for "openSUSE"

* In the Community:
** Any news specifically community-related.
** Include the latest People of openSUSE article.

* Past Meetings / Upcoming Meetings
** opensuse.org/Meetings will have upcoming meetings. See the
opensuse.org/Meetings/Archive page for old ones

* Tips and Tricks
** Ask anywhere for ideas, generally try to use ones from the wiki, as
they increase collaboration and can be improved/updated easily if
need-be.
** Avoid very in-depth/super-technical articles. General use-case is a
normal user, though slightly advanced things (i.e. today's editing
configuration files) are not so bad.

Announce to:
** news.opensuse.org using the template
** opensuse-announce mailing list
** Update http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_Weekly_News
** http://en.opensuse.org. If you don't have permission to edit the
home page, ask one of the sysops[1]

I will probably be around on Tuesday for a bit to help too, but I
would rather hand things over now than at a time when I won't be
around at all.
