I was intending to bring this myself... I won't be online either in the
next two weeks, so after #157 the last day when I am available this year
is 24 December.

In conclusion, I am for a short vacancy. Do not forget to announce it in
the welcome part of #157

A very good suggestion, and I concur with Oisin regarding the timeframe
to resume FWN.

I don't like the idea of running with sponsor's ads to be honest. I
think it potentially compromises our integrity as a news source. I'm not
dead set against it however, so if everyone else feels I'm being foolish
then speak out. I just don't like the implicit pressure that would come
with that. It's what has managed to destroy an otherwise free press in
many countries.

I intend this week's issue (#157 covering Dec 14th to 21st) to be my
last before the holiday break.

I would like to resume on January 11th (#158 covering the week Jan 4th
to 10th).

Does that sound acceptable to everyone?

Happy Holidays,

In previous years I think FWN has always had a holiday break. It's
entirely up to you editors -- if you feel like this is a good chance
to take a break and relax, that's an entirely reasonable option.

is fwn taking a holiday vacation

Is FWN going to take vacation on the 29th and 5th?

I for one will not be able to write my beats those weeks. This week's
beat will be my last until after the new year.
