<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I've got a good idea. Why not email out to each Pirate Party asking for a representative to work on the newsletter? After a set time (maybe a month, to allow responses), those representatives could meet together and discuss how best to create the newsletter, the resources needed, and how to ensure it is actually produced.<div><br><div><div>On 15/01/2012, at 9:32 AM, Justus Römeth wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">That's what I thought as well.<div><br></div><div>I think a good way to spread it further would be to send one version to the PPI list, that way everybody who reads this list gets the update automatically.

It's been a project reaching about 100 pirates in +15 countries. A monthly newsletter aimed at pirate news with a global interest. It's been inactive lately due to me finishing off my thesis and relocating to Mexico. Will start it again once I'm a bit more settled here in Mexico. </div> <div><br></div><div>The reason I haven't told that many about the newsletter is because it's been created through a newsletter service with limited audience possibilities. Also because I wanted to try concepts and ideas before going too public with it. Going to re-shape the project a bit now and involve more persons soon. Looking to change my newsletter service from <a href="http://madmimi.com" target="_blank">madmimi.com</a> that I've been using so far. Preferably something with free software and easy to use (adding pictures, text and basic layout).
