[opensuse-marketing] Monthly GSOC article
Dear GSOC team, YOU PROMISED a montly GSOC article. And I PROMISED to make a schedule happen. I failed, you didn't - there was a GSOC progress article ;-) But now, we should make it a real monthly ordeal, as we discussed at oSC. Can we? Can we? To help make it happen, I propose we pick a recurring date for the articles (say, the 3rd week of every month, on Thursday) and a deadline (the Tuesday before that Thursday). So the news team has time to beat it into shape and schedule it. And remember, pictures are appreciated! My fancy mail client has this new 'send later' feature which I'd love to test on you - I can schedule monthly reminders that will kick both you and the openSUSE news team to make sure this all happens as planned ;-) How about it? Hugs, Jos
Cool. I will continue to write the articles related to GSoC. As I see it, 19th September seems fine to schedule the next monthly update. I will begin work a week prior to that, and send reminders to the students. I was also wondering if for the next article, we could get the mentors opinion on the work being done. It could be nice I think. Let me know your views on this. The mail reminders seem nice, in case we mess up dates ;) Cheers, On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 1:41 PM, Jos Poortvliet <jos@opensuse.org> wrote:

Absolutely a good idea.

Have you scheduled the article? I just noticed that 16th september is the soft pencils down date, and 23rd is the hard pencils date. I am assuming mentors and students would be very busy and frantic during this time, and we may get delayed responses. I think we should postpone it for some time, and then write a 'Completion of GSoC' article, after the results are declared. I will write a base template as planned earlier, but can plug in the content later. What are your thoughts? Cheers, On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 7:55 PM, Jos Poortvliet <jos@opensuse.org> wrote:
