Education/Newsletter/December 2016/Newsletter update

Snippet: New newsletter format for 2017
While we've currently been producing quarterly newsletters, I'm proposing to go back to monthly newsletters but smaller in scale with only 4 features per newsletter (the learning quarterly offers a good example). Each issue would be thematic, with a preceding community conversation around the theme taking place on Twitter, Facebook, the mailing list, and on the Wiki and synthesized as one of the features for the newsletter. The other features will be submissions from the community on project highlights or op-eds relevant to the theme. I would really like to get this off the ground for January, and that will require your cooperation! How can you get involved?
1. Submit your ideas for newsletter themes. Submissions needed by 12/24 on the Newsroom page, under the heading "Theme Ideas"
2. Once the theme is announced participate in the conversation!
3. Volunteer to help produce the newsletter. We're going to need a team to help with:
- content curating
- revising the newsletter pages on the wiki
- formatting and publishing the monthly newsletters
- distribution/promotion on various channels
Any questions can be directed to me nsaad@wikimedia.org.
I'm looking forward to working closely with you all!
