Part of #111 ("Newsletter 9: Coordination/Tracking")

[ozkriff]

Swapped dungeonfog and ldn talks sections, as discussed on WG's Discord.

aclysma:
I have mixed feelings about a hiring post being the first thing on the newsletter
It's a minor thing though and I know this feedback is coming very late :slight_smile:
ozkriff:
why? seems like important information to me: opportunities to work on graphics stuff using Rust/wgpu are quite rare atm
aclysma:
commercial entities have a natural advantage over non-commercial in marketing.. and the focus being on their company hiring someone instead of how their company is pushing rust game development forward seems more to serve their company's interests than the communities interest
I'm certainly not saying a hiring post has no value to the community or that it shouldn't be included, I'd just rather see the top spot go to something that's in service to the community rather than the other way around
If it was a video of some cool new features with an oh-btw-we're-hiring blurb at the end (i.e. the focus being on showing something new and interesting) then my opinion would probably be different
ozkriff:
Will it be better if i swap the hiring section with london talks?
XAMPPRocky:
I also agree with moving the job offer down, reading it, it felt like a ad to me.
aclysma
I think it would
or pick a game update to move up

Will create a task about adding something like TWIR's job section to the newsletter structure for future newsletter issues.
