NUMPY NEWSLETTER
Objectives Inform, educate, and inspire the NumPy community.
Subscriber acquisition channels:
- a sign up form in the footer of numpy.org,
- Twitter announcements.
Frequency
Issues will be numbered (e.g. Issue No. 24):
- appropriate for a project that has “numerical” in its name,
- will allow the editorial team to have some flexibility with the frequency of releases.
Design
A custom template is preferred.
Options:
- MailChimp (detailed reports, up to 2000 subscribers on a free plan),
- Send in Blue (unlimited contacts).
Content outline
- latest most important news (events, funding received, etc.);
- contributor spotlight (could be contractors as well as volunteers);
- explain a NumPy feature, either new or cool-but-not-well-known;
- highlight an upcoming significant improvement (could be a code feature, update on the website, etc.).
Segment headings are needed.
Interview Questionnaire
A questionnaire will be used to profile featured NumPy contributors: https://github.com/numpy/numpy-newsletter/blob/main/q10.md
