call for volunteers
Here is my call for volunteers, focused on building our team: --

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!
