Schedule and Circulation
The Bulletin is a quarterly newsletter which we aim to publish at the end of every:
- March
- June
- September
- December
It is published in both a Markdown format (.md
) and a PDF format (.pdf
).
We use the previous issues on the Programming Historian Canva account by duplicating an existing Bulletin and making the relevant changes. Boxes can be added or removed depending on space requirements and the amount of news we have in each category.
Lesson thumbnails should be replaced with the matching avatar, and the 'read here' logo should be linked to the lesson's DOI.
We name the PDF YYYY-MM-DD-bulletin-issue-XX.pdf
, download it to PDF Standard without flattening it, and upload it to /assets/bulletin.
We use the template found on the Wiki.
The bottom link to 'download the bulletin as a PDF' should always be linked to the relevant PDF uploaded to /assets/bulletin/:
You can also [download this Bulletin](/assets/bulletin/YYYY-MM-DD-bulletin-issue-XX.pdf) as a PDF.
We name the Markdown file YYYY-MM-DD-bulletin-issue-XX.md
and upload it to /_posts.
We open an issue in Jekyll called Bulletin Issue XX - Month YYYY
in which we make the following commits:
- Upload the markdown version to /_posts
- Upload the PDF version to /assets/bulletin
- Upload any images used in the markdown version to /images/blog
Once the blog post is published, we aim to circulate each Bulletin around the following channels:
- Twitter (link to blog post)
- Mastodon (link to blog post)
- Patreon (attach the
.pdf
and link to blog post) - LinkedIn (attach the
.pdf
and link to blog post) - Email to the project team (attach the
.pdf
and link to blog post) - Email to our IPPs (attach the
.pdf
and link to blog post)
For template announcement posts, see the Bulletin
tab in the shared Google Sheets document named themed-posts
(currently only accessible to our Publishing Manager, Publishing Assistant and Managing Editors).
One final touch is to mention it in our email signature, and linking to the tinyurl of the most recent issue:
