Summary of the Discussion

Enter below the summary of the discussion, possibly following the given outline.

== Summary == Discussing the value, contents, and production quandaries of organizing periodic newsletter for the KM4Dev community. ===Suggested Newsletter Topics=== * Summaries of key threads (done by those who raised the threads) * Space for stories, profiles (would need to be generated) * Ks toolkit corner, highlighting one tool * Abstract of a recent km4dev journal article (chosen from journal) * Announcements (taken from those shared on list and Ning) * Links (taken from those shared on list and Ning) * Reviving “old” topics already in [[Discussions]] ===Newsletter Suggestions in the L&M 2013 report=== (Culled by John Smith, 26 September 2013. See full report [[KM4Dev Learning and Monitoring 2012-2013#Baseline survey May 2013 | HERE]]) # p4.: The core team and community should try to share conversations and increase its transparency even more, perhaps by means of a monthly update of the community conversations (inside the core and outside) in a very simple format. # p5.: The principles, vision and values of the community should be made available on the wiki and on the Ning group – and reminded to all members (on the mailing list and on the Ning site) about these. # p6.: Every selection process of the core group members should be shared transparently. Core group activities could be reported about in the monthly update about the community perhaps… # p10.: And pulling information from conversations going on those platforms into the monthly mail-ing would be a very beneficial activity for the whole community to connect dots between the community technological platforms and assets. # p22.: Overall recommendations (from respondents): Develop a simple monthly update on what is going on in the community. ===Roles - "a team of 3-6 people would be ideal"=== # editor # chief editor who finalise the content what to publish # assistant editor # members / authors ===Newsletter Sections=== # KM4Dev Recap or KM4Dev Review - this is where a summary of discussions will be made. # KM Member of the Month - In this section we will highlight a member of the community # Resource Section - Of course we would have a better name but here we can discuss KM tools and resources being uses, have links to blogs, etc. # Announcements ===Production Issues=== * happy to lead a section if others want to try it out… * Should be quarterly because of the effort involved [[Category:Newsletters]]
