Community Activity Newsletter

[colin-kiegel]

I'm thinking, if we could feature activities in our Rust Cologne community somehow. Like in a two-monthly newsletter, maybe?

• What have you been working on in the past two months?
• Have you written any blog articles about Rust?
• ...?

We could showcase this a little bit like this-week-in-rust. The difference would be, that we'd have a lower threshold of what's interesting. But on the other hand it will be from people around Cologne, making it easier to connect to people with shared interests.

It's a very rough idea right now.

• @Rustaceans/organizers-cologne Would you be interested to give this a try for next year?
• Who would like to take an active role in "implementing" this?

Interesting, I think this might be a good idea. A few notes:

• I typically don't really care about the location of the people who I work on open source with as I mostly communicate over text (email, github, irc)
• We have some regulars at our meetups but also a lot of people who only turn up once or once every few months.
• Would you want to set this up using meetup.com? This'd mean people need to use the site to get the newsletter.
  • We could also publish it on the website as a "news" section and offer a feed for it
• How would you collect content?
  • Ask people at meetups?
  • Stalk Follow members on social media, incl. Github?
  • Ask people to tweet @RustCologne with their stuff?
