release cycle

[Schubisu]

As suggested in the IRC meet-up, we're going to start a newsletter containing information about

• new blog posts of the #dgplug planets
• merged PRs of #dgplug members
• random news on tech / linux / privacy that we are interested in

A bi-weekly release cycle has been suggested. To provide a quality letter, I suggest there should be some reserved time for

1. information gathering
2. wrapping things up to a readable document (starting one week before release)
3. have a live meeting on IRC / etherpad to discuss final changes (maybe one or two days before release)

So new topics / news coming in later than one week before release, would be gathered for the next release already.

Does anyone have a different suggestion or doubts/amendments? Or maybe suggestions on when to release the letters? I feel like this should be on either fixed days of the month of a fixed week day (like e.g. every second Friday) in order to guarantee publication on a regular basis.

I will start the issue of the initial release with a summary of the IRC meet-up
