(As mentioned on another thread, I was off when you pinged, hence, the delay.) I can whip up the usual couple of paragraphs, yes - what’s the deadline?
@gabriel Just wanted to ping about this for the next newsletter-- let’s talk about our position as Gold Sponsor for the Open edX virtual conference :) Is there anything you’d need from me to get that info out?
Great, @adolfo! Btw, I’m sorry for the insertion; I’ll try to schedule task for you ahead of time next month (and we can always archive it if there’s no specific BTR update for that month).
Can you go ahead and add a short paragraph to this draft? Thanks!
Put me down for a few words on the release and bounties, yes. The expectation of exposure will add to my motivation to get the list actually identified as such somewhere publiclly. Even if it’s just tagging tickets in the BTR board with “bounty-offered” (or some such) so they can be easily found.
I’ll do it on the first week on SE.250. Does that work?
Gosh, I’m sorry but I realized that June 30th is next Wednesday (I thought it was next Friday, for some reason)… which means that Xavier will review the newsletter on Tuesday (probably in our morning), which in turn means that ideally your part should be done by next Monday EOD. If that’s an issue, I’ll write down the paragraphs myself, let me know.
Btw I’m sorry for doing this at the last minute every time — ideally everything would be planned and scheduled in advance like any other task, but the issue is that not much happens from month to month, so doing this 1-2 weeks in advance would probably make a very short newsletter With that said, what I’ll do next time is to create a placeholder task for you to set time aside for this. I appreciate your help, and I’ll plan better next time.
Maybe the first month, but if you do the newsletter earlier, it also means that more time will pass since the last newsletter writeup, the next time it’s also worked on 1-2 weeks in advance. :)
I’ll need to plan next month’s newsletter more in advance next month anyway, because of my vacation time. It’ll be a good opportunity to switch to planning the newsletter earlier.
For this time that’s already plenty of topics to talk about – kudos for a well populated newsletter! :) An additional (and recurring) topic for the next newsletters would be an update on our contributions coming from our accelerated epics. It would be good to raise awareness on – things like theming, leaderboard, etc.
With that said, what I’ll do next time is to create a placeholder task for you to set time aside for this. I appreciate your help, and I’ll plan better next time.
