Community Newsletter Editorial Team Wanted
by Jay Moore · in General Discussion · 08/31/2002 (1:45 am) · 5 replies
We want to thank Matt Webster for all his hard work in developing and putting out three stellar issues of the GarageGames Community Tune-Up. His fame and newfound work have taken him away from being able to produce this very valuable community resource.
This is a call for proposals - Matt has set a quality standard that we believe will require a team effort to reproduce. For those with editorial, writing and layout skills this is an excellent way to contribute to the GG momentum and benefit personally from the fame you will achieve.
I personally will assist in coordination and promoting the newsletter inside and outside of the GG community. The visibility that GG and indie developers are receiving will only increase in the future - if ever there was a perfect self-promotional vehicle to gain visibility in this arena you are looking at it. I have a seminar I've taught on personal brand building and this effort would show up as a "superior value add" opportunity to anyone's personal brand.
The GarageGames Independent Games Newsletter - Community Tune-Up is an independent voice of the community. GarageGames is not exercising editorial control over this newsletter. Your opinions will not necessarily be those of GarageGames.
Matt achieved Associate status and a free SDK in response to his proposal and we hope in some small way a boost in his participation in the game industry. Make us a pitch.

I'm too new to have seen the newsletter in question, but I'd be interested in pitching in as a writer or editor, depending on what needs to be done.

It would be a hard job to provide a newletter as good as Matt done it.
I'm from Switzerland. So I think my english is to bad that I could write such a newsletter. And I'm not skilled enough thought.

I'm just a GG newb but found the newsletter issues to be very well organized and informative. I was sad to see that there were only 3 issues published and surprised that nobody has yet taken up the challenge of continuing the excellent work that Matt started.
I would be interested in revitalizing the newsletter on a monthly basis and bring it up to speed with the current engine and future plans. Let me know how I can help and get this valuable resource going again.
Thanks!
