UWN Issue 527: Call for summaries

[wildmanne39]

Hello fellow volunteers!


NOTICE: Starting with this email, we’ll be addressing enlisted and 
potential summary writers on this mailing list rather than individually 
as per address list as done until now. This is in order to make it 
easier for new contributors to get started, to reach a broader public 
audience, and to increase the transparency.


It’s the time of week again where article links and titles have been 
added to the document used for staging the next issue of the Ubuntu 
Weekly Newsletter - and it’s ready for summary writers!

Just like with gathering the articles over the week, everybody can help 
with the publication of the newsletter by writing or editing summaries.


Be advised that due to malicious editing, we had to implement the 
requirement to have your Google user (by email address) added to the 
document before you can write to it - please contact us if you aren’t 
added to it yet. Our apologies for the inconvenience.


The format is:


=== Article title ===


Your 2-3 sentence summary goes here.


https://www.example.com/article.html


If the link is part of a bullet-pointed list, it does not get a summary.


Please don’t delete the work of others without contacting us (email us 
or mention it in #ubuntu-news on IRC) and make sure your summary is 
original content (not just copied from the article). Let us know if you 
have any questions. Also, please keep the style guidelines in mind when 
writing.

If you write summaries, be sure to leave your name at the bottom of the 
document so we can properly credit you!


Thanks again for your time! And no worries if you can’t help this week, 
there is always the next week... :-)
