They were, in fact. But I know as a fact that even if people many love the newsletter, I have the impression that few people follow the links. The blog posts from the TC were on openstack.org/blog, on planet.openstack.org, relayed on twitter and mentioned in the weekly newsletter. I don't think we can give more visibility than this without getting annoying. Maybe better titles and leads in the posts would help more. The problem is that there is just too much traffic and it's impossible for anyone to keep up with everything. People skim through their emails checking the subjects, their rss feeds reading only the titles, parsing twitter feed for a couple of pages down (at best) and that's it. If nothing catches their attention, pieces of information get lost. Even the weekly newsletter I'm sure few people click to follow the links and read further (unless it has a cool title). I've long come to the conclusion that it is what it is: at the size we're at, we can't expect every voter to be fully informed about all the issues. Better titles and a sort of TL;DR first paragraph in blog posts are very helpful. But in order to write those, the author needs to have more training as a communicator and more time. It's just a hard problem. /stef __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
