[openbeos] Re: Suggesting front page news items

Howdy,

The current website was designed to allow for community contributions from the very beginning. :)

As a matter of fact, anyone with a regular user account should be able to submit news posts to the Haiku website.

Just login, click on the submit icon (upper right corner of the window), click on "News post", and that will take you to the news submission form.

Once submitted, the news post goes to a moderation queue, where it will be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate/relevant, it will get published (may be edited in some cases).

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Looking forward to your contributions!

Cheers,

Koki

    Hello all!

    I'd like to contribute by offering potential news items for
    haiku-os.org <http://haiku-os.org>'s front page.
    Before posting, I'll always run them by you, so anyone can provide
    further input,
    corrections, or even a veto if you think the issue doesn't warrant a
    news item.

    If you think something would make an interesting frontpager, just
    point me to it. Either
    by mail, or by simply responding to it accordingly if it was some
    mailinglist posting. I'm
    subscribed to all lists (I think) and hopefully won't miss it. Maybe
    other lurkers feel
    compelled to step up in the same way.

    I don't (yet?) have permission to post news items, so if the
    following is OK by you all,
    someone knowing the secret incantations will magic it to the front
    page. It's a time
    critical issue, mind you.

    Vote for the 2nd Thank You Award

    Haikuware's Thank You Awards [ http://www.haikuware.com/bounties/ ]
    are granted every two
    months according to the results of an open poll. The Award was
    created, as the name
    suggests, to show the community's appreciation for an individual or
    organisation
    contributing to the Haiku project.
    The first Award went to Axel Dörfler for his outstanding and
    tireless contributions in the
    past years.
    You can vote for a candidate [
    http://www.haikuware.com/news/dec-1-thank-you-award ] for
    the next Thank You Award and the accompanying $50 until 1st December
    2007. The candidates
    are [
    http://www.haikuware.com/news/please-vote-for-the-thank-you-award-nominees
    ]: Jorge
    G. Mare (aka koki), Ingo Weinhold (aka bonefish), Stephan Aßmus (aka
    stippi), Greg Nichols
& Sean Herber (BeBits)
    Tough choice, indeed!


I vote to get this one on the front page ;)
