https://www.facebook.com/gentoo.org

this facebook group/like has a feed of monthly newsletters. this is how i consume it anyways.

http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gmn/rss.xml

there is an RSS feed of it, get a good feed reader or feed reader plugin, and import all your gentoo infos you desire.

I don't think there is a form any more, that was left over from when the newsletters were on the main Gentoo site. It is now hosted on the wordpress blog.

Thank you
Loaded http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gmn/rss.xml into gReader but unluckily it does not list the single newsletters as separate items (e.g. like the ones of Arstechnica or Phoronix) - it only lists that single URL that contains references to the web-pages which then contain the newsletter => I'll see if I'll remember to check the contents from time to time.
Cheers

Pearlseattle ... I read it via the feed at planet.gentoo: http://planet.gentoo.org/rss20.xml

This also has all the planet gentoo blogs so it may not be what your looking for, but the full GMN is on the feed.

HTH & best ... khay

Thanks for the hints!!

@khayyam
Works exactly as you described => looks good => I'm using it.

@comprookie2000
Still the same single item => NOK :? => will use khayyam's URL.

Cheers!

I get a 404 at the given link.
Does the monthly newsletter still exist?

Hi Khay, Thanks!

I should have mentioned the link, the first one advertised in this thread, is 404:
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gmn/

Khay, the rss feed you mention works, indeed. Thanks.
It is for planet Gentoo. Is that a different thing from the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter advertised by the OP?

Oh, I found it.
The last "monthly" newsletter dates back to February 2015:
https://blogs.gentoo.org/news/
The link by the OP in this 'sticky' post is outdated.
Either the post should be 'un-stickied' and left to decay, or an update be made in the first post about the newsletter status with a fixed link.
