All links and summaries are stored in a Google Doc, so you don&#8217;t need to learn any special documentation formatting or revision control software to participate. Plus, everyone who participates is welcome to add their name to the credits!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary writers.<\/strong> Summary writers receive an email every Friday evening (or early Saturday) with a link to the collaborative news links document for the past week which lists all the articles that need 2-3 sentence summaries. These people are vitally important to the newsletter. The time commitment is limited and it is easy to get started with from the first weekend you volunteer. No need to be shy about your writing skills, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter\/StyleGuidelines\">style guidelines<\/a> to help you on your way and all summaries are reviewed before publishing so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to improve as you go on.<\/p>\n<p>Interested? Email <em>editor.ubuntu.news@ubuntu.com<\/em> and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get you added to the list of folks who are emailed each week and you can help as you have time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday we released Issue 378 of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter.
