Proposal: Snappy Monthly Newsletter

Introduction

A newsletter is a perfect solution for those users who are not always active with the community but wants to know what’s happening within the community in a short glance. Taking inspiration from the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, I am proposing a newsletter on Snaps. Here we’ll list out everything related to Snaps, Snapcraft, Snapd, Core Desktop etc.

Format

Instead of a Weekly newsletter, I am proposing for a Monthly newsletter, as the number of news every week might be less. Even though I think a bi-weekly approach may also work out, as we have a Starcraft Clinic in every 2 weeks. But, for a start, I think a monthly newsletter is a better option. We’ll have a set format, which will be decided by the voting from the community. This will be kind of similar to a Discourse digest, but will bring in news from Github releases to Issues/PR discussions to Starcraft Clinics. We can also bring Rockcraft and Charmcraft under this umbrella.

Why the name Snappy Monthly Newsletters

As snap is a format and is already confused with so many similar names like Snapcraft, Snapcrafters, Snapd etc, I think this is the best place to reuse the old name that Snaps had before it was named to Snappy.

Please let me know, what the community thinks about it.

The forum is also starting to get old, some technical and visual boosts would do it good. :zap:
