This includes: + * Bridging between Javascript Newsletters and Periodicals + +## Bridging between projects and Javacript Newsletters and Periodicals + +There are a number of great newsletters and periodicals. Getting articles +into these newsletters and periodicals is one way that a project can share +key messages and news but they often don't have a good way to do this. + +Further complicating things is that developers and those managing newsletters +and periodicals don't use the same set of tools regularly and so finding +a common tool/location that works for both groups may not be easy. +The OpenJS Foundation helps projects get their news to these orgnizations by: + +* Providing a [news](https://github.com/openjs-foundation/news) repository + where project contributors can open issues with news items that would + be good to be shared in newsletters and periodicals. The expectation + is the the person who opens the issue will craft the original info + needed by a newletter or periodical that picks it up and will also + be available to answer any questions. +* Providing a mailing list that those who run newsletters and periodicals + can subscribe to. +* Periodically upating the list of organizations that are subscribed to + the mailing list in the repo so that developers know who their news + items are being sent to. +* Generating a weekly summary from the issues in news repo and sending + the summary to the mailing list. +* Reviewing the most active newsletters and periodical's in the + JavaScript ecosystem on a quarterly basis and reaching out to those + who are not subscribed to the mailing list or directly to the repo. + + + + +
