[Swansea Hackspace] Creating a newsletter/ Showcasing what we work on

[Sophia Komninou]

Hello,

So during the AGM we discussed a bit about how we showcase what we do in a
collective manner.

Here is an example of how DoES Liverpool does it
https://doesliverpool.com/category/weeknotes/

Basically, they have a dedicated hashtag (in our case this could be
#SwanHack for example) and then someone who is a bit more competent than me
in programming (that isn't difficult, I can't code) make some kind of
program that collects the posts with this hashtag from all social media and
puts them together in a newsletter, or a blog post or something. (I try to
post a few things on Mondays or on events on Instagram, but if people want
to use their personal accounts they could just use the hashtag in their
posts)

They do have some other stuff in their "weeknotes" like upcoming events. I
am wondering whether this can be an automated newsletter for everyone in
the mailing list so they are updated without having to check the website
for new events (because, in reality, who really does that???).

I have no idea how easy or difficult this is but I am sure there are people
who can gauge how doable it is.

Sophia
