Weekly Squeak summary template
by Giovanni Corriga 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi Michael, I'm attaching a text template for the Weekly Squeak Summary. You should fill the template with the actual links from the blog. The subject of the message should be like the following: "The Weekly Squeak Summary No.1: October 1 - October 7", changing the number and the dates accordingly. Weeks should go from Sunday to Saturday. As for the initial blurb, just add a couple of lines which refer to the most important articles in the list, briefly describing them. For the list, just copy and paste the title of the article, and its URL. The summary should be sent as a text-only email to these mailing lists: announcements(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org seaside(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org For the first summary, why don't you send it to me beforehand, so that I can tell you if it's ok? Ciao, Giovanni

News Team Report for September, 2006
by Giovanni Corriga 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

The purpose of the News team is to publish news regarding Squeak development and use. It aims to provide a service to the Squeak community, highlighting anything which the Squeak users may find interesting in The Weekly Squeak newszine. It will also try to promote Squeak outside its own community, by submitting articles and news items to mainstream websites such as Slashdot and OSNews. After a nine months hiatus, The Weekly Squeak is back in business, but now in blog form. The blog, which is available at http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com , is getting roughly 80 hits per day, and its feed has been added to the Planet Smalltalk and Planet Squeak aggregators. The most important open issues are: 1. At the moment, I'm the only one able to publish contents to the blog, even if other contributors can write article which I have to approve. This will likely change in the future once we get the hang of the thing. 2. The blog is somewhat disconnected from the mailing lists; we should start sending weekly summaries to the squeak-dev, beginners and announcements lists. 3. The only mailing lists tracked at the moment are squeak-dev and seaside. Proposed actions, scheduled for October: 1. Try to add one or two posts to the blog everyday. 2. Resume production of weekly summaries to be sent to the mailing list(s). 3. Try to find some more contributors, and start tracking more mailing lists. Long term actions 1. start producing articles to be sent to mainstream news sites. 2. move the blog to news.squeak.org maybe? 3. change the look of the blog to resemble the one of www.squeak.org The News team has a mailing list (news at lists.squeakfoundation.org, subscribe at http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/news ). Everyone can subscribe to the list, even if just for lurking, but new team members are always welcome ;) Giovanni

I am personally slightly weary of the explosion of > lists, sometimes it feels we "miss" stuff because we/I are not on all > lists. The Weekly Squeak could help mitigate this problem. But I can't subscribe and monitor every mailing list, blog or newsgroup. What I'd like is to have for each mailing list a volunteer who will monitor it and write the newsbits for every interesting announcement or discussion on the said mailing list. Are there any volunteers for the SETools mailing list? Giovanni

The new Weekly Squeak blog
by Giovanni Corriga 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

Hi all, as you have probably seen, the new Weekly Squeak blog is now open for business. At the moment I'm the only author/administrator, so I'd like if someone else could join me either as an editor, author or contributor. So if you're interested, please create a wordpress.com account, then send me a message (either here or privately) so that I may add you to the blog. I think that at the beginning it would be better to have me as the only editor/admin, and have the other be just writers be just 'contributors'. This means that you may write and save new posts, but I will have to approve them before publishing. If everything goes smoothly, I'll almost immediately upgrade you to 'author' so that you may publish everything independentely. So, any takers? Giovanni

Re: [Newbies] The Weekly Squeak is back!

While at the moment I'm the only one posting, the blog will be the collective effort of the Squeak News team ( http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/news ). Joining the News team is also a good way for getting deep into the Squeak community. So if any of you would be interested in working on the Weekly Squeak (with articles, newsbits, interviews, reports), we'll be happy to have you on board. Giovanni

Hi all, I'm thinking about giving the Weekly Squeak another try. During the coming Camp Smalltalk in Prague (next weekend) I'll install a blog engine on my server and will do a special edition during the ESUG conference. Any comments? Giovanni

Cees mentioned a possible vote
by Ron Teitelbaum 22 May '06

22 May '06

All, Cees has mentioned that a possible vote about the future direction of Squeak may come up if the community can not agree on a consensus. My feeling is that consensus is difficult to detect even in the best of circumstances. Is this something that we should start preparing for? Do we need to have a more formal process for gathering and reporting on opinions? Should we be preparing for an election? Is this vote something that the elections team should step up and offer services for? Should the news team and the election team join forces to try to give better coverage to the issues? (An informed voter is our best hope) Your thoughts? Ron Teitelbaum

Hi Brad, the news team is on hiatus at the moment for many different reasons, but I still want to restart working on The Weekly Squeak and to create a separate news site. Meanwhile, maybe we could work on this news box in the main page. So if you need/want some help, please say so. Giovanni
