Description
Note from the editor:
Hey everyone! We're starting to change out the lead editor of the newsletter each month, so that the workload isn't so much each month. This month, it's me! I'm Forest, or AngelOnFira. I also edit the weekly blogs for Veloren, co-host the Rust Gamedev Podcast, and run the monthly Rust Gamedev meetup.
We're also going to be transitioning to having authors or volunteers write about their own content, rather than the editing team doing it all at the end 💯 This means if you want to see your work in the newsletter, you have to write it yourself! If you're not able to write about your work, feel free to comment and I can assign it 🆓 free. We're working on taking some of the load off the editing team where we can with this. Best to keep this sustainable!
Also, we want to make sure contributing to the newsletter feels open to anyone who wants to write a section about their project. If you have anything you can write about, just add a comment to this issue and I'll add it to the todo list 😄
Newsletter 19
Feel free to suggest sections!
If you want to help writing the newsletter:
- Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Grab some of the "🆓 free" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section_name_1} and {section_name_2}".
- Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 free (@ozkriff?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
- Write a short overview:
- Use provided links as a starting point.
- Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
- Insert line breaks (softbreak) at 80 chars, please.
- DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
