[Zeek] Update: Zeek Monthly Newsletter - Schedule and Publication Plan

[Amber Graner]

Hi all,

As I mentioned on the 3 Jan Zeek community
<http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/pipermail/zeek/2020-January/014902.html>,
we want to roll out a monthly newsletter.

My goal is to get those published at the beginning of the first full week
of each month; however, I realized I had not shared the contribution plan,
topic ideas, where you contribute and how to get involved.

Given the above, we'll publish on Monday 13 January 2020.

Below is that information.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to
collaborating with you all.

Thanks,
~Amber

more we do these newsletters the better and more inclusive they will
become.

* Find public articles of interest and drop into the working document.
* Write blog posts throughout the month.
* Help interview people throughout the month.
* Write 3 to 5 sentence summaries of each article we will include.
* Threat of the Month - Share how Zeek helped you or your organization.

How will the newsletter get populated?
