Spotlight Article #1 (new links)
The author requested a few minor changes to Spotlight 1. I added them here
The new target publish date is Thursday April 29 (In reply to Jacob Harris from comment #15) > The new target publish date is Thursday April 29 Ok thanks! (In reply to Jacob Harris from comment #5) > GIFS for Memory Inspector article (Spotlight 3) > > https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2ulnwfa82lcvwko/AACB28vOYHBryvRuyCKa_mjva?dl=0 Is there a way we can ask them to reduce the size of these gif files? These are the file's current size: highlighting-changes-ascii.gif - 4.3mb multi-view.gif - 4.8mb Thanks Created attachment 286237 [details]
highlighting-changes-ascii.gif Compressed
I compressed one of them to 2.6 MB. Would that work?

Thanks. (In reply to Jacob Harris from comment #18) > Created attachment 286237 [details] > highlighting-changes-ascii.gif Compressed > > I compressed one of them to 2.6 MB. Would that work? @Chris, 2mb is still pretty large and we have 2 of them. Are you ok if we put those files on 1 article or are the files still too large? Thanks.

I don't think we can shrink that gif again without really losing quality. Did we consider using a different format than a gif? https://ezgif.com/help/alternative-animated-image-formats Not sure about browser compatibility but AVIF AV1 Image File Format looks promising with an important reduction in file sizes.

highlighting-changes-ascii (AVIF)
I used the website you posted here to create a AVIF. I couldn't play it on my computer though so I'm not sure how it turned out

April Community Updates
Here is the community updates article.
I asked Brian for an about the author section for his article, and will try to get more high-res images from the authors for Spotlight article 2, since they are displaying pretty small and blurry.
Also, for the about the author section of Spotlight 2, can we make the heading "About the Authors" and have two sepeate lines for each author, corresponding to their photos?
- Colin Grant is a web technologies developer at Ericsson and a committer to the Eclipse Theia project.
- Kenneth Marut is a web technologies developer at Ericsson and a committer to the Eclipse Theia project.
Correction to my comment above: We're going to try to get better images for Spotlight article 3, not 2 Created attachment 286250 [details]

We will have to use the gif files in order to support all browsers. Hi Jacob, I updated the article 3 on staging and the Community news page. https://staging.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2021/april/3.php https://staging.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2021/april/5.php Now I think all that is missing is the Newsletter Title. Thanks! We're just waiting for some final revisions to be finished and then I'll post the Mailchimp version and title. Can you add Brian's "About the Author" to Spotlight 2 as well?

intro paragraph needs space
Looks great. One request from Clark is to add an extra line of space between the second intro paragraph and the list of bullet points (see image attached)
Other than that, I think we're good.

Can we change it to Maximilian? I updated Maximilian's name in the Author's section. Let me know if there's anything else. Thanks. One last thing: The image for "Charting a Course for Cloud Native Java" under "Recent Newsletters" redirects to the March 2020 issue instead of the March 2021 one. Can we make the updates to featured project/committer on the eclipse.org homepage live as well?
