NUMPY NEWSLETTER

Objectives - to add

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.
