Welcome! This is where we coordinate, draft, and co-create each issue of our community newsletter.
We welcome contributions from across the OLS team and broader community — whether you’d like to share a blog post, event, shout-out, or project update.
Each month, an issue titled 📬 [Month Year] Newsletter Planning is automatically created.
Use it to:
- Draft that month’s newsletter collaboratively
- Track submissions (linked from separate content issues)
- Coordinate review and approval timelines
➡️ See the Issues tab to join in!
Got something to share?
Open a new issue using the Submit Newsletter Content template to add:
- Blog posts
- Events
- Opportunities
- Project/program updates
- Shout-outs
- Reflections, zines, photos, etc.
You can also drop ideas in the Slack #newsletter channel or email us at [email protected].
- Content submissions: By the 15th day of the month (e.g. August 15th for the August issue)
- Final draft + review: 3 days before scheduled send
- Newsletter publish day: The last Friday of each month
We’d love help reviewing content, proofreading drafts, and shaping future issues.
Tag yourself in the monthly planning issue or message in Slack to get involved.
Let’s goooooo!
