[arch-dev-public] The June Newsletter is out, please chek it out
Hi, The first time I inform here that the Arch Linux newsletter is out, the June edition is a special one, it contains the article, about the stolen logo. So please, guys, go ahead and digg that article, so we get more coverage, I added the digg button cause I thought that would be the best way to get more media coverage for this issue. So I ask everyone to link to this newsletter on your respective blogs, not the newsletter as a whole, but the stolen logo article most importantly. http://www.archlinux.org/static/newsletters/newsletter-2009-june.html#stolen... Also submit to other news sites. Thanks.

Oh, I haven't even read the thread about the stolen logo to the end yet, so I missed all the fun while being absent. I know that our newsletter is tracked by distrowatch, let's see if they will write about the stolen logo in their next weekly newsletter. <bugs> It seems that I _always_ get "bad page" when clicking on any links that lead to our forums. :-/ Also, the calcurse link is bad as well. </bugs> -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Read the footer at the end of the newsletter. You should log in to the forums to be able to view offtopic forum posts.

I'll fix it in an hour or so. For the moment you can use the second link a little below the title which is correct. Ronald

Why is that? I wanted to link a very very funny thread to some friends (none of which has any relation to Arch) and they couldn't open it.

I think it is because we want to be seen as a serious high quality distribution. AFAIR it has always been this way, not sure what the initial reason behind it was, but it is a forum 'feature'. Ronald

It was something like that. I think off-topic was higher traffic and more indexed by google a while back, so searching for arch would throw back some pretty stupid results and posts about tacos... :S

TU corner: "even has informed us ...." <--who? "The one downside to pacman is the lack of a rollback feature so you might just have to start from scratch!" <--imho this is an exaggeration or at least an unclarity for what "starting from scratch" means. Worst case you have to boot in single user mode or even boot a liveCD if you screwed up badly. I would make it more clear to avoid confusion. Organize your tasks - Calcurse <-- link incorrect Something that I notice in many newsletters are phrases like "another great Arch Linux newsletter!". I guess different people will intepret it differently but to me it gives the impression the people behind the newsletter (outsiders could extrapolate this to the Arch community as a whole) are a bit arrogant/full of themselves. I'm sure it's not meant like that, I'm just saying that's how I interpret it. When reading homepages/newsletters/announcements/... of various projects/parties I don't like them describing themselves with positive adverbs. I think people/projects should "come out" neutrally and let others judge their qualities. If I'm the only one who thinks this, you can ignore me :P Dieter
