Hi Nikos, This is a great idea. Newsletter will be a good benifit to the community. If you or anyone in the community wish to take this initiative, it will be great.
In fact, all our email archives are available publically at http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ica-osgeo-labs/ so it just need someone with some editorial skills to bring together key items and publish as a newsletter for the community. I am sure once we start, we can build upon this with feedbacks/inputs from others, use the same template for monthly newsletters etc. Just need a lead editor for this. Please come forward if anyone can help with this.

What do you think about publishing a Newsletter for the actions and news of the Community?

Probably incorporate training material in the documentation at: http://live.osgeo.org This could be collaboratively developed and continually updated by both project teams, training institutes, and our existing teams of translators. Jorge, it looks like you have a good start on this. I'd be interested to see how we could link with OSGeo-Live.
