I am not for a long time in the CentOS community, but I found the last
two newsletters interesting and refreshing.
I think they are important to create this community feeling, which is
basically what differentiates CentOS from the "prominent North
American Linux vendor". For my (kind of professional) usage of CentOS,
I am ready to give up some of the benefits of paid support in order to
be part of a real community in the true free software fashion: maybe
less "reliable", but many answers come even before you ask.
No need for more tech stuff, I'd say. But if some users could
contribute stories of real-life deployments, that could begreat. That
is for example one of the very interesting sides of the users
mailing-list: having experienced admins sharing their experience while
they answer questions.
Having something like this as a regular section of the newsletter
could be an idea...
So, yes, the newsletter contributes greatly to this community feeling.
I'll be happy to contribute, when I'll be more knowledgeable (and
funny).
